Expanded polystyrene is a thermoplastic material, a derivative of petroleum. The raw material of polystyrene, which has a micro-granular structure, is firstly heated and expanded with water vapor. Pentane gas, an organic component, is used to inflate the granules. After inflation process, the polystyrene granules stick firmly to one another and take the shape of the mold they are in. Finally, after having been shaped into blocks, expanded polystyrene is ready to use by cutting into sheets.
At the end of this process, pentane gas replaces air. This motionless and dry air, which is trapped in the granules with small closed pores, enables EPS sheets to provide superior thermal insulation for your buildings.
EPS is the most economic and lightweight product among all types of thermal insulation.
