Mould

While both EPS and EPP moulds are used in the manufacturing process of foam products, there are distinct differences in the materials they handle and the resulting product characteristics.

EPS Moulds

• Material: Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
• Product Characteristics: Lightweight, good thermal insulation, shock absorbent, relatively low cost.
• Applications: Packaging, insulation, construction, and consumer products.   
   

EPP Moulds

• Material: Expanded Polypropylene (EPP)
• Product Characteristics: Lightweight, excellent shock absorption, high elasticity, durable, and reusable.
• Applications: Automotive components (bumpers, headrests), sports equipment, packaging, and consumer goods.

Key Comparisons

Choosing the Right Mould

The selection of EPS or EPP moulds depends on the specific requirements of the end product.

• EPS moulds are ideal for products that prioritize cost-effectiveness and thermal insulation, such as packaging materials and building insulation.
• EPP moulds are preferred for applications demanding superior shock absorption, durability, and reusability, such as automotive components and protective packaging.
