Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a lightweight, rigid, and highly versatile closed-cell foam made from polystyrene beads. It is widely recognized for its excellent insulation properties, shock absorption, and moisture resistance, making it an ideal material for both packaging and construction applications. EPS is composed of 98% air and 2% plastic, giving it superior thermal insulation, compressive strength, and lightweight nature without compromising durability.

Key Specifications:

• Density: 10 – 40 kg/m³ (customizable based on application)

• Thermal Conductivity: ~0.032–0.038 W/m·K

• Water Absorption: Very low

• Compressive Strength: 70 – 250 kPa (depending on grade)

• Flame Retardant Grades: Available upon request

• Standard Forms: Blocks, sheets, custom-molded shapes

Benefits:

• ✅ Outstanding Thermal Insulation: Ideal for cold-chain packaging and building insulation.

• ✅ Lightweight & Cost-Effective: Reduces shipping costs while offering strength and protection.

• ✅ Shock Absorption: Protects fragile goods during transit.

• ✅ Moisture-Resistant: Maintains structural integrity in humid or wet conditions.

• ✅ Eco-Friendly Options: Available in recyclable and reprocessed forms.

• ✅ Custom Moldable: Can be shaped to suit specific product or construction needs.

Applications:

• Construction Industry
  EPS is widely used as insulation panels, underfloor insulation, roofing systems, and EIFS (External Insulation Finishing Systems) due to its thermal performance and lightweight nature.

• Packaging Industry
  EPS protects electronics, appliances, medical equipment, and fragile products with custom-molded inserts and padding.

• Cold Chain Logistics
  EPS containers and boxes are ideal for transporting perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and temperature-sensitive materials.

• Decorative and Event Use
  Lightweight and easily shaped for event props, architectural details, and display models.

Logistics & Trade Terms:

• Packaging: Baled or bundled blocks, shrink-wrapped, or palletized

• Shipping Ports: Bandar Abbas, Jebel Ali, Qingdao

• Certifications: ISO, SGS, MSDS, COA

• Available Grades: General-purpose, Flame-retardant (FR), High-density

• Trade Terms: FOB, CIF, EXW – customizable per client request

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) continues to be a critical material in modern manufacturing, logistics, and construction for its excellent insulation performance, shock resistance, and lightweight profile. Whether used to insulate buildings or protect products during transport, EPS delivers high value at low cost, with sustainability options increasingly available for environmentally conscious buyers.
