Expanded polystyrene sheet (EPS) is a lightweight foam material made from expandable polystyrene beads. It is commonly used as insulation or packaging g material due to its thermal insulation properties and closed-cell structure.
EPS is made by heating expandable polystyrene beads in a steam pressurized mold until they expand and fuse together to form a foam block. The foam block can then be cut into sheets or molded into specific shapes.
EPS offers excellent thermal insulation properties, as well as resistance to moisture, mold, and mildew. It is also lightweight and easy to handle and install.
EPS is commonly used as insulation material for buildings, as well as for packaging, cushioning, and flotation. It can also be molded into specific shapes for various applications, such as decorative molds for architectural elements.
EPS is not biodegradable, but it is recyclable. It can be recycled into new EPS products or used as a filler material in concrete or other applications.
The right EPS product will depend on your specific application and requirements. Consider factors such as thermal resistance, density, and compressive strength when selecting an EPS product.
EPS insulation can be installed using various methods, including adhesive, mechanical fasteners, or a combination of both.
YES, EPS can offers great sound insulation benefits due to its closed-cell structure
