Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) blocks are lightweight, rigid plastic foam materials made from expanded polystyrene beads, commonly used for high-performance thermal insulation, protective packaging, and structural geotechnical fill. They are valued for being cost-effective, durable, moisture-resistant, and easy to cut or shape.
Key Features and Benefits
Main Applications
Specifications
| Insulation | Exceptional thermal resistance (R-value) for energy-efficient construction. |
|---|---|
| Lightweight | Easy to handle, transport, and install, often weighing only 1% of traditional materials like soil or concrete. |
| Durability | High compressive strength, particularly in higher densities (20-30+ kg/m³), suitable for load-bearing applications. |
| Versatility | Available in various sizes and densities, and can be customized with additives for fire resistance. |
| Construction | Used as insulation panels, roofing, wall insulation, and lightweight void fillers in buildings. |
| Geofoam | Used in civil engineering for road construction, bridge abutments, and slope stabilization. |
| Packaging | Provides excellent shock absorption for protecting fragile items. |
