Specification

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a lightweight cellular plastic

material consisting of small hollow spherical balls. It is this closed

cellular construction that gives EPS its remarkable characteristics.

EPS is produced in a wide range of densities providing a varying

range of physical properties. These are matched to the various

applications where the material is used to optimize its performan-

ce and strength.

Building and Construction

EPS is used widely in the building and construction industry. EPS

is an inert material that does not rot and provides no nutritional

benets to vermin therefore does not attract pests such as rats

or termites. Its strength, durability and lightweight nature makes

it a versatile and popular building product. Applications include

insulated panel systems for walls, roofs and floors as well as fa-

cades for both domestic and commercial buildings. It is also used

as a void-forming ll material in civil engineering projects, as a

lightweight ll in road and railway construction, and as floatation

material in the construction of pontoons and marinas.
