Premium Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) Beads

The Foundational Material for Lightweight, Insulating, and Protective Solutions

Elevate your manufacturing and DIY projects with our high-quality Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) Beads. As the primary raw material for a vast range of products, these tiny, spherical beads are packed with potential, offering unparalleled versatility, superior thermal insulation, and excellent shock absorption properties when expanded.

Our EPS Beads are made from meticulously selected styrene monomer, incorporating a non-toxic blowing agent (pentane). This allows them to expand dramatically under heat (typically steam), transforming into lightweight, resilient, and multi-functional foam beads that are ready for molding, filling, or aggregation.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Exceptional Expandability: Designed for optimal expansion ratios, yielding lightweight pre-puff or molded products with consistent density.
• Superior Thermal Insulation: Once expanded, EPS foam traps air effectively, providing excellent R-value for energy-efficient applications.
• Outstanding Shock Absorption: Ideal for protective packaging, cushioning delicate items during transit.
• Remarkably Lightweight: Significantly reduces material weight, lowering shipping costs and making handling easier.
• Moisture & Water Resistant: While not waterproof, EPS foam exhibits low water absorption and doesn't promote mold or mildew growth.
• Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to many acids, alkalis, and salts, enhancing durability in various environments.
• Versatile Processing: Easily processed via steam expansion and subsequent molding, bonding, or direct use as loose fill.
• CFC/HCFC Free: Environmentally responsible, our beads do not contain ozone-depleting substances.
• Consistent Quality: Uniform bead size and composition ensure reliable and predictable performance in your applications.

Important Notes for Handling & Safety:

• Flammable Blowing Agent: Unexpanded EPS beads contain pentane, a flammable blowing agent. Keep away from ignition sources (open flames, sparks, static electricity).
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in storage and processing areas.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
• Processing: Expansion typically requires steam; consult technical data sheets for specific processing parameters.
• Static Electricity: EPS beads can generate static electricity. Grounding measures may be necessary during handling.
