FoamPackaging

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) packaging material is specifically designed and intended for use as an Economical and Quality Packaging solution.

Product Reliability: All EPS used in packaging fabrication is UL approved and has fire retardant additives incorporated at the time of manufacture. Many materials such as wood, paper, cloth, vinyl, etc., will ignite at much lower temperatures than EPS. Without a source of energy EPS will self extinguish.

Chemical Resolution: EPS is resistant to virtually all aqueous media, including dilute acids and alkalis, water soluble alcohols and silicones. There is limited resistance to paraffin oil, vegetable oils, diesel fuel and Vaseline. EPS must not be exposed to organic solvents such as hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones and esters. Note: If EPS is placed in contact with materials or vapors of unknown composition, tests should be made to determine compatibility.

Toxicity: Laboratory combustible product test indicate EPS is no more toxic than wood and minimal ingestion is not considered harmful.

Bacterial Resistance: EPS without soilage will not support fungus and bacteria growth. It is also inert, odorless, non-irritating and non corrosive

Ozone Friendly: EPS contains no CFCs or HCFCs known to deplete the ozone layer.

Environment: The Canadian Environmental Protection Act excludes Polystyrene from regulations controlling Polyurethane and Other Foam Sector. Adequate Polystyrene recycling facilities are readily available.
