EPS foam sheets work as excellent insulating liners and can be used in combination with corrugated boxes and cartons for the safety of the packaged material. EPS foam sheets are also referred to as EPS foam insulation boards as they are made from insulation material called Expandable Poly Styrene (E.P.S.). Expandable Poly Styrene is made from solid particles of polystyrene and is lightweight and rigid in nature. The ability of expansion in these EPS Foam Sheets is due to pentane gas dilutes used along with the polystyrene during the production of Expandable Poly Styrene.
EPS Foam Sheets provide an outstanding packaging solution for perishable shipments like fresh seafood, poultry, and produce. They help to maintain the temperature inside the packaging containers and protect the stuff from any kind of damage and contamination. The sheets provide an extra strength to the packaging container without adding much weight to them. EPS Foam Sheets helps to protect the products during shipping, warehousing and general handling. These foam sheets are used widely in large number of industries for numerous packaging applications as they not only reduce the loss that occurs due to wear and tear but also cut down on the packaging cost significantly.
Advantages of Using EPS Foam Sheets
First-rate Insulation: The EPS Foam Sheets insulate packaged products from temperature changes. The gas dissolved in the Expandable Poly Styrene expands at high temperature which closes the foam cells completely and help to maintain consistency in the temperature inside the containers.
Lightweight: EPS Foam Sheets are lightweight and do not add too much additional weight to the packaging container. These foam sheets occupy approximately 40 times the volume of the original polystyrene bead and save the valuable space.
Versatile: EPS Foam Sheets are available in various types of shapes and sizes. They can also be customized according to the need of the packaging application as the EPS beads can be easily molded into appropriate forms.
Thermal resistant: EPS Foam Sheets are a great combination of light weight and high strength and offer extraordinary thermal properties and moisture resistance.
Dimensional Stability: Cushioning characteristics, dimensional stability and buoyancy are the physical properties that make EPS Foam Sheets highly effective for the packaging line.
