WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EPS FOAM THERMAL INSULATION PRODUCTS AND INDUSTRIAL CUSHION PACKAGING?
EPS foam products whether used for insulation or packaging are lightweight, versatile, sanitary, energy efficient, and most of all cost effective. The manufacture of EPS foam uses less energy than that used in the manufacture of paper based alternatives. According to The Midwest Research Institute study on special packaging applications, the total energy requirements to make plastic containers (including both processing and materials energy) were lower than or equal to the energy consumed to make competing materials. Further, EPS’s physical properties allow for almost universal application, Information regarding the suitability of EPS for a specific application is available upon request.
