In today's busy world, safe product delivery requires a strong and efficient packaging material which can hold up under tough conditions... EPS meets the challenge.

Used in thousands of different ways by individuals and businesses around the world, expanded polystyrene (EPS) is relied upon to provide superior performance in various foam product applications. As a closed-cell, rigid plastic, EPS relies on the use of a blowing agent, typically pentane, to allow individual beads to be expanded from 2 to 50 times their original size. Whether used as protective packaging for fragile items during shipment, as custom insulation in building applications, or even as a bicycle helmet, EPS is serving an important role in our everyday lives.
