Contact Supplier Expanded Polystyrene
Â
 EPS is an abbreviation for Expanded Polystyrene. The raw material used
 for EPS are small polystyrene beads that have been allowed to absorb
 4-7 % pentane gas. The pentane gas is what makes the material expand
 when heated. EPS can expand up to 50 times the original size. This
 means that the final product contains around 98% air. Most of the
 pentane gas is released during the manufacturing if EPS and is
 replaced with air. Released pentane gas will not affect the ozone
 layer. EPS is suitable for disposable packaging, but is also well
 suited for technical products with higher density, for example bicycle
 helmets. EPS can be found in a variety of different colours.
