Advantages

Increasingly, manufacturers are abandoning expanded polystyrene in favor of expanded polypropylene. EPP has proven to be a versatile material with high performance characteristics. He has many advantages over his "rival", including: MECHANICAL STRENGTH. Expanded polystyrene is a rather loose material, therefore it does not withstand force. EPP is able to withstand any load, it is even used for furniture production.; VERSATILITY. EPP is used for manufacturing car inserts, containers, sports equipment, furniture, and children's toys. PPP is mainly used as insulation.; MOISTURE RESISTANCE. EPP does not absorb water, whereas PPP perfectly absorbs both moisture and vapors.; FIRE SAFETY. Foamed polypropylene belongs to the KM 1 class, that is, it practically does not burn and does not emit toxic fumes during combustion. Gorenje Styrofoam, on the other hand, supports gorenje well.; ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLINESS. During use, PPP releases styrene, so it is used only for external insulation of houses. Indoor use is highly undesirable. EPP has no such restrictions. The material is so harmless that it is used for the production of food thermocontainers.; VIBRATION ABSORPTION. EPP absorbs the energy of impact, so it is used for the production of automotive shock absorbers and packaging. There is no vibration absorption in PPS; LONG-TERM OPERATION. The estimated service life of expanded polystyrene is 30 years, in practice this figure is decreasing due to adverse conditions. EPP is resistant to any negative influences: sun, moisture, temperature changes, chemicals. This ensures long and successful operation. The specific timing and specifics of using EPP products depend on its variety. You can find out about all the possibilities of using this material on our website.

Expanded polypropylene granules, or EPP, are the raw material form of the material, which are transformed into final products through molding. They are produced in various classifications, mainly differing in density, shock absorption properties, color, particle size, and special additives depending on the purpose.
