Material properties

High resistance

  • EPP has a high strength-to-weight ratio as well as high structural strength and load-bearing capacity.

Low weight

  • Due to its high air content of 96 % of the moulded part volume, EPP is very light. In relation to its strength, EPP weights considerably less than other materials.

Energy absorbing

  • EPP is an energy-absorbing material with a high resilience that withstands repeated impact without damage.

Padding effect

  • EPP protects the goods from damage in case of a fall.

Thermal insulation

  • EPP provides an excellent thermal insulation for temperature sensitive products.

Recyclable

  • EPP can be removed and recycled together with PP.

Cleanable

  • EPP can be easily cleaned with industrial cleaning equipment as well as in dishwashers.

Temperature resistant

  • -40°C up to 110°C
