Research Summary

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a lightweight and rigid foam plastic material derived from polystyrene resin. It is produced by expanding small polystyrene beads with steam, creating a closed-cell foam structure with excellent insulating properties. EPS is widely recognized for its low thermal conductivity, making it a popular choice for insulation in the construction industry, used in applications such as wall insulation, roofing systems, and as a core material in structural insulated panels (SIPs). It is also utilized in protective packaging due to its shock-absorbing capabilities and resistance to moisture, making it an ideal choice for shipping fragile items. Additionally, EPS is used in various other applications, including as a lightweight fill material in civil engineering projects and as a component in molded products like food containers and decorative architectural elements.
