Expanded Polystyrene is a substance derived from the chemical called styrene, which is used in the manufacturing of many chemical products. It is obtained by the process of polymerisation of styrene.
Polystyrene is a very popular substance, some of the interesting facts about Expanded polystyrene – EPS – that you need to know are:
Polystyrene is extremely resource efficient: It means that using lesser of the resource, more benefits can be obtained. Polystyrene when expanded contains 98% air. Thus, polystyrene is very light. The expanded polystyrene is typically called as Styrofoam or EPS (short for expanded polystyrene).
Polystyrene is the best packaging solution available: Polystyrene, when expanded, is used as a packing material. The packaging material developed by EPSOLE is the lightest. This reduces the weight, making the transportation light, feasible, and cost-effective. Being very light, and having higher air contents also make the packaging material shock absorbent and insulating.
