What is EPS?
EPS (expanded polystyrene, brand name “styropor”) was invented in 1951 by BASF. Nowadays it is practically impossible to imagine living without this material.
EPS is an insulating material containing 98% of air encapsulated into billions of tiny thin-walled expanded polystyrene cells.
It belongs to gas-expanded plastics that possess a number of following qualities:
- void structure consisting of noninterconnected cells;
- low density;
- high heat — and sound insulating properties.
Where does it find its application?
As construction material and insulator EPS is primarily used in:
- external and internal heat-insulating systems;
- embedded bonds, three-layered concrete blocks, concrete panels;
- metal-coated sandwich panels;
- ICF (insulated concrete forms);
- as base for membrane or built-up roofings, the underlayment being as thick as fire safety regulations demand;
- for heat insulation of basements and floor structures;
- road construction to protect the road foundation from freezing.
EPS has been successfully used for many years in refrigerating equipment, shipbuilding, for making wharfboats, pontoons and package. EPS is also a popular material for decorative molding such as ceiling tiles, skirtboards, sockets and other molded components.
