WHAT IS EPS ?

Composition of the EPS

Expanded polystyrene is a material derived from petroleum, it is characterized by being a cellular and rigid plastic material. Its manufacture thus, is done thanks to compounds in the form of small beads which include an expanding agent, pentane. These pearls are kept at rest before being introduced into various molding machines where they are impacted with thermal energy so that their volume can be increased. So throughout the manufacturing process, the EPS takes the shape of the mold which is predisposed by the machine itself

EPS applications

One of the most important applications of EPS is that which refers to the food industry, such as the fish industry, with which Traxpo frequently works. The possibility of including it in industrial processes is due to one of the most important characteristics of this material: its hygiene. EPS therefore does not constitute a nutrient substrate for microorganisms, therefore does not rot and does not create mould. On the other hand, it is an excellent thermal insulator, so EPS is widely used in the field of construction: both to lighten and as an insulator. It can be seen on floors as well as roofs or facades. Do you have any doubts about what EPS is and its uses? At Fackel Machinery, we answer your questions.
