What is EPS?
EPS (Expandable Polystyrene) is a lightweight, versatile material used across industries for insulation, packaging, and construction. It begins as small beads, each just a few millimeters in size. Through a controlled expansion process, these beads grow up to 50 times their original volume, forming a structure made of 95–98% air and only 2–5% polystyrene.
This unique composition makes EPS highly efficient, durable, and adaptable—while being environmentally responsible. EPS products are inert, non-toxic, and do not contaminate soil, water, or air.
