EPS – expanded polystyreneEPS - expanded polystyrene. Expanded suspension polystyrene with particles surface treatment; it is made by styrene suspension polymerization over sponging agents. EPS has a structure with plenty of non-intercommunicating cells; therefore, it does not absorb water. This is a good shock-absorbing material (if thick enough), and a good thermal insulator. For in-depth analysis we seldom refer only to the Foreign Trade Code (Group 3903), but we make our own more precise correlation of EPS types by each grade of each producer. Regular analytics on the EPS market is available in the following Reports:
