EPS foam can also be made to do other products

Mentioned EPS you will be unfamiliar, but mention the foam, the
kind of things to pad a computer or express, you certainly
understand it. Yes, EPS is what we call the foam, that is,
expanded polystyrene. There are many materials that use air as
part of the structure to reduce the amount and weight of
materials used. This feature is very valuable for reducing the
carbon footprint, however, the air accounts for about 98% of the
EPS, although the manufacturing is reduced Carbon footprint, but
the subsequent processing is very troublesome. How was trouble
is to think about why we recently eat lunch when the general
business are using paper boxes it, on the one hand because the
heat will produce toxins in EPS, but on the other hand is the
country for the mandatory requirements of environmental policy
forced, and plastic bags need to buy a reason. Because it is
difficult to biodegradable because it is considered to affect
the environment "white pollutants".
While taking EPS to do some of the short life cycle of the
product is really very wasteful and pollute the environment, but
when it is used as a long life cycle of the product, the value
is still very good. One is because it is very lightweight, and
will greatly reduce the cost of transport, the other is the use
of raw materials is also very small, the cost is very low, but
note that this is used in the use of long products when the
product can reflect the value.
The EPS production method is to make small polystyrene beads
using steam and pentane foam to 40 times larger. And then in the
final stage with steam to the material into the mold.
Polystyrene has much less performance than polypropylene, and
the range of density, elasticity and strength is not as great as
the latter. EPS can also be made into different shapes by
extrusion and thermoforming. At the same time, EPS can also be
made such actions like EPS recycling

It
helpful for us to recycle EPS well.
