Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
The raw ingredient for expanded polystyrene is polystyrene. It is created by blowing pentane gas into the granules, causing them to expand and adhere to one another. Depending on the intended use and the location of usage, it can be produced as a variety of board sizes and technical features. It functions as a thermal insulator. It is produced in the plants that hold the ISO 9001 Quality Management System, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, and ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certificates provided by BSI.
