What is Expandable Polystyrene (EPS)
EPS consists of 98% air, has an excellent insulation value, is light yet rigid. Unlike other insulation materials, EPS also has minimal water absorption. Expandable polystyrene (EPS) foams have been known by the BASF trade name Styropor (or often Styrofoam in English) since the 1950s. Bead-shaped polystyrene granules are a raw material of EPS foams. They are impregnated with a propellant during the manufacturing process.
EPS granules are marketed for various processing purposes in certain size fractions with different propellant contents and optional flame protection. The size range of raw beads ranges from a few hundred microns to several millimetres, whereby the individual fractions are narrowly distributed. For example, raw beads in a size range from 200 microns to 400 microns are required for the production of EPS drinking cups with very thin walls. Larger moulded parts, such as blocks or plates, allow coarser granules; however, with clear requirements regarding the size distribution and a predetermined coarse grain that must not be exceeded.
