Covina, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a lightweight, rigid, and versatile plastic foam material derived from polystyrene. It is widely used in various applications due to its exceptional insulating, cushioning, and lightweight properties. EPS is created by expanding solid polystyrene beads through the application of heat, which causes them to puff up and form a closed-cell structure filled with air.    

Growing environmental concerns and regulations have led to the development of more environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional expanded polystyrene market. However, EPS remains a cost-effective material for many applications and is likely to continue being used in areas where sustainability is less critical. 

Key Highlights –

  • In April 2023, Epsilyte launched EPS made from 50% PCR content. According to the North American manufacturer of packaging materials, 124LR is made especially for packaging and is intended for moulded items that need a smooth finish.

Analyst View –

One of the main markets for EPS is the building industry, which is projected to expand as urbanization keeps happening. The need for energy-efficient infrastructure and buildings will probably propel the usage of EPS in insulation applications.

Expanded polystyrene is used in building and construction:

  • Thermal Insulation: EPS is widely used as thermal insulation in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. It is used in the form of EPS boards or sheets to insulate walls, roofs, and floors, providing energy efficiency and reducing heating and cooling costs.
  • Concrete Formwork: EPS blocks are used to create lightweight concrete formwork, which simplifies the construction process, reduces labor and material costs, and provides excellent insulation within the concrete structures.
  • Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS): EPS is a key component of EIFS, a popular cladding system used to improve the energy efficiency and aesthetics of buildings. EPS boards are used as a base for the application of exterior finishes.
  • Geofoam: Geofoam, a type of EPS, is used for lightweight fill in construction projects. It’s employed for applications like road construction, bridge abutments, and retaining walls, where traditional fill materials might be too heavy.
  • Roofing Insulation: EPS insulation boards are used for flat and pitched roofs to provide insulation and waterproofing. They are often installed under roofing materials to improve thermal performance.
  • Void Fill: In construction, EPS is used as void fill material to support structures like roads, runways, and building foundations. It helps reduce settlement and prevents damage to overlying structures.
