What is Expanded Polystyrene used for?

The low weight of EPS relative to its strength and rigidity cause it to be an ideal material for protecting fragile shipments while keeping shipping costs to an absolute minimum. For customers requiring temperature control for their packaging needs, EPS is perfect for insulating those products.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is widely used in many everyday applications where its light weight, strength, durability, thermal insulation, and shock absorption characteristics provide superior benefits over other materials. These characteristics, combined with its versatility, performance, and cost-effectiveness have made EPS a packaging and building material of choice for over 50 years.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is inert, nontoxic, and recyclable. The use of Expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation products significantly reduces the energy requirements for both heating and cooling in any structures where it is applied. Combined with its inexpensive cost, EPS is a versatile choice and helps to save on costs and lower the structure’s carbon footprint.
