1.The EPS-Airpop

Expanded Polystyrene is made from expandable polystyrene, ultimately derived from petroleum. This raw material is a styrene polymer containing a blowing agent that doesn’t use expanding CFC or HCFC gases and its use has no degrading effect on the ozone layer.

2. Transformation

The raw material is heated in special machines called pre-expanders, with steam at temperatures between 80 and 110ºC. In this process, the compact beads of the raw material are
In this process, the compact beads of the raw material are converted into cellular plastic beads that are transported to moulds in which water vapour is again applied so that they are welded together to obtain large blocks or shaped products with their final finish.

3. Qualities

EPS-Airpop is a high-age resistant, versatile and mouldable material. In addition, it stands out for its lightness and for being an excellent heat insulator. Among its many qualities, we should also mention its mechanical resistance and its ability to absorb impacts, as well as its hygienic nature, ease of handling and installation, and resistance to humidity.

4. Applications

Thanks to its versatility and mouldability, in addition to its excellent qualities and properties, EPS-Airpop has a wide range of applications, such as heat insulation and lightening material in buildings or packaging material for all kinds of products in various sectors of application.
