EPS(Expandable Polystyrene) is a lightweight, rigid, plastic foam insulation material produced from solid particles of polystyrene. Expandsion is achieved by virtue of small amounts of pentane gas dissolved into the polystyrene base material during production.The gas expands under the action of heat, applied as steam, to form perfectly clesed cells of EPS.
How do we classfiy EPS Material?
Regular Grades – High Expansion, Medium Grade, Fast Cycling, Colorful beads
Flame Retardant – High Ratio Flame Retardant, Low Pentane Flame Retardant.
Health and Safety
Fast cycling grade totally meets food contact safe requirements as is less than 0.2%wt/wt. The total content of aromatic hydrocarbon impurities are far lower than the one in similar competitive products.
During storage, transportation and processing, low levels of pentane blowing agent will be present, which will have an explosive range in air between 1.1-6.0%. The raw material and products must therefore be well ventilated and kept far away from sources of ignition including static electricity.
