What Is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)?
EPS is the perfect choice for many insulation and construction applications
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a closed cell lightweight rigid cellular plastic. Typically, 98% of the product’s volume is made of air. This micro cellular closed cell construction of EPS allows great heat insulation and excellent mechanical properties.
