Global Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) Foam Market , 2024-2030

Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) foam is new forms of polypropylene. EPP can be prepare by polypropylene resin combined with other ingredients in a multi-step proprietary process under tightly controlled conditions, extruded pellets expand to become consistently shaped beads of expanded polypropylene foam. The preparation includes Synthetic Polypropylene and Bio-based Polypropylene. EPP is a accomplished closed-cell bead foam which provides a unique range of properties, such as multiple impact resistance, outstanding energy absorption, buoyancy , thermal insulation, water and chemical resistance, exceptionally high strength to weight ratio and 100% recyclability. There are two types of form fabricated EPP and molded EPP.

EPP is commonly colored black for automotive applications, though is often found in white for packaging products. EPP is available from some suppliers in vibrant colors suitable for presentation-grade textured surface.

EPP can be made in a wide range of densities, from 15 to 200 grams per litre, which are transformed by moulding into densities ranging from 18 to 260 grams per litre. Individual beads are fused into final product form by the steamchest moulding process resulting in a strong and lightweight shape.

EPP is widely utilized by automotive manufacturers because of its performance benefits for energy management, lightweight, enhanced functionality, durability and recyclability. Applications include seating, bumpers, stowage systems, door panels, pillars, floor levelers, parcel shelves, head rests, tool kits, sun visors and myriad filler parts. Reusable industrial packaging, known as dunnage, is frequently made from EPP due to its durability and its inherent ability to absorb energy in transit. EPP is used increasingly in furniture, toys such as model aircraft and other consumer products due to its versatility as a structural material and its light weight, as well as other performance characteristics.

EPP beads are available in a wide range of densities with technology for coloring also available. EPP is approved for use in conjunction with food products. Its thermal insulation properties and structural strength make it appropriate for containers such as food delivery containers and beverage coolers and the like.
