Product Description
Expanded Polystyrene Board (EPS) is a lightweight, rigid, and versatile plastic foam insulation material commonly used in construction applications. EPS is made by expanding polystyrene beads with steam, which causes the beads to fuse together and form a closed-cell foam.EPS board is available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, and is commonly used in applications such as roof insulation, wall insulation, and under-slab insulation. It is also used as a void fill material in packaging and as a core material in composite sandwich panels.
EPS board has excellent thermal insulation properties, making it an effective way to reduce heat loss in buildings. It is also moisture-resistant, durable, and easy to work with, making it a popular choice for construction projects. However, it is flammable and should be protected with an appropriate fire barrier or coating in applications where fire safety is a concern.
EPS board is recyclable, and many manufacturers use recycled polystyrene in the production of new EPS products. Additionally, EPS can be easily crushed and compacted for disposal, which can reduce waste volume in landfills.
