These materials are the basis of our particle foam solutions<\/h1>\n

Our expertise lies in the processing of innovative particle foams that impress with their thermoplastic properties and enormous lightweight construction potential. Whether EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPS (expanded polystyrene), ETPU (expanded thermoplastic polyurethane), EPA (expanded polyamide) or EPPE (expanded polyphenyl ether) – we rely on high-performance, sustainable particle foams with a wide range of possible applications.<\/p>\n

These closed-cell foams consist of 95% air and combine a low density of 15 to 400 g\/l with outstanding mechanical stability and high thermal insulation properties. Whether as a material for lightweight construction or as a high-performance solution, the thermoplastic granules we use are the basis for your pioneering products.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n
