Expanded Polystyrene

Expanded polystyrene is a lightweight (98% air), low cost rigid foam plastic ideal for a wide range of different protective packaging applications. It is manufactured without the use of CFC or HCFC blowing agents, has a zero ODP and is fully recyclable. It has a high resistance to compression and good shock absorption properties.
