EPS Standard Grade Material

EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Standard Grade Material is a versatile and widely used thermoplastic foam known for its exceptional lightweight properties, excellent thermal insulation capabilities, and durability.

Composed of pre-expanded polystyrene beads, this material offers a closed-cell structure that provides superior resistance to heat transfer and moisture absorption. Its consistent quality and reliable performance make it a preferred choice across numerous industries, from construction and packaging to arts and crafts, where it provides cost-effective and efficient solutions for a variety of applications.

Properties of Standard Grade EPS:

• Density: Typically ranges from 10 to 30 kg/m³, providing a good balance of strength and lightness.
• Thermal Insulation: Offers decent thermal insulation properties, making it effective for general insulation purposes.
• Moisture Resistance: Possesses good resistance to moisture, preventing water absorption and subsequent degradation.
• Durability: Durable enough for various uses while maintaining cost-effectiveness.

Common Applications of Standard Grade EPS:

• Packaging: Protecting products during shipping and storage.
• Insulation: Providing thermal insulation for buildings, appliances, and other structures.
• Buoyancy Aids: Used in life jackets, buoys, and other marine applications due to its low density and water resistance.

Comparison to Other EPS Grades:

While standard grade EPS is versatile, there are other EPS grades available with specific properties tailored to different needs:

• High Expansion Grade EPS: Offers superior insulation properties due to its lower density and higher expansion ratio.
• Flame Retardant (FR) Grade EPS: Incorporates additives to improve fire resistance, making it suitable for applications with stricter fire safety requirements.

If you have a specific application in mind, it’s essential to consider the required properties and select the appropriate EPS grade.
