Specification
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a lightweight cellular plastic
material consisting of small hollow spherical balls. It is this closed
cellular construction that gives EPS its remarkable characteristics.
EPS is produced in a wide range of densities providing a varying
range of physical properties. These are matched to the various
applications where the material is used to optimize its performan-
ce and strength.
Building and Construction
EPS is used widely in the building and construction industry. EPS
is an inert material that does not rot and provides no nutritional
benets to vermin therefore does not attract pests such as rats
or termites. Its strength, durability and lightweight nature makes
it a versatile and popular building product. Applications include
insulated panel systems for walls, roofs and floors as well as fa-
cades for both domestic and commercial buildings. It is also used
as a void-forming ll material in civil engineering projects, as a
lightweight ll in road and railway construction, and as floatation
material in the construction of pontoons and marinas.
