LIGHTWEIGHT STRENGTH FOR EVERY INDUSTRY
EPP, versatile and sustainable
EPP is a lightweight, durable, recyclable and versatile material, valued in various industries for its mechanical, thermal and shock-absorbing properties.
Some good reasons to choose polystyrene packaging
LIGHTWEIGHT
Made up of 98% air, it is extremely light.
RESISTANT
High shock absorption capacity with good recovery of original shape.
THERMAL STABILITY
It withstands temperatures ranging from -20°C to +120°C and maintains the cold chain with a temperature drop of only 1.5–2.5 ºC/h.
WATERPROOF
It is permeable to water vapour but impermeable to water: it does not absorb moisture and prevents the formation of mould.
RESISTANT TO CHEMICAL AGENTS
Resistant to acids, organic solvents, petrol, diesel and petroleum derivatives in general.
FIREPROOF
Fireproof and flame-resistant material.
ACOUSTIC INSULATION
Can be used as acoustic insulation, reducing noise and improving comfort.
FOOD
It does not promote mould or bacteria growth, does not release harmful gases, and is safe to handle.
ENERGY DISSIPATOR
Its energy dissipation capacity makes it one of the most widely used materials in the automotive industry.
ANTISTATIC
Antistatic capacity, reduces the accumulation of electrical charges, improves safety, stability and surface protection.
UV RESISTANT
Resistant to ageing and UV rays, it guarantees durability, constant protection, colour stability and a long service life.
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
Dimensional stability over time, maintaining consistent shape, performance and reliability.
Expanded polystyrene in the circular economy
An innovative and safe material, EPP combines lightness, strength and recyclability.
Composed of 98% air, it is stable, free of harmful substances and guarantees low environmental impact, confirming itself as an ideal solution for sustainable packaging and applications.
A versatile material in the hands of designers
Thanks to its excellent physical and performance properties, expanded polypropylene allows for the creation of aesthetically pleasing components and designs, proving to be a versatile and creative material in the hands of designers.
Complex shapes
Expanded polypropylene, available in densities ranging from 30 to 75 kg/m³, is versatile and suitable for complex shapes, ensuring lightness, strength and durability.
Accurate
design
Polypropylene can be used to make products with plastic or metal inserts. There is a wide range of customised textures and surface finishes available.
