EPS: the high-performance material for energy absorption and thermal insulation<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]Expanded polystyrene (EPS or Styropor\u00ae<\/sup>) is a highly developed particle foam with exceptional properties, such as excellent energy absorption and high thermal insulation capacity. With its low density and high insulation performance, EPS stands out from other materials<\/a>. It is used in a wide range of applications, such as functional elements in facades<\/a> and crash elements for helmets<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]With an air content of around 98%, EPS is not only particularly resource-efficient to produce, but is also the economical and functional solution in numerous areas of application.
\nAs one of the first licensees to process Styropor\u00ae<\/sup> (since 1960), we know exactly what this thermoplastic can do and use it according to its advantages.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft” css=””]Applications<\/a> Characteristics<\/a> Requirements<\/a> Sustainability<\/a> Data sheet<\/a> FAQ<\/a>[\/vc_column_text]\n
