EPS: the high-performance material for energy absorption and thermal insulation

Expanded polystyrene (EPS or Styropor®) is a highly developed plastic that is characterized by its excellent energy absorption and exceptional thermal insulation properties. With its low density and high insulation performance, EPS stands out from other materials. It is used in a wide range of applications, such as functional elements in facades and crash elements for helmets.

Whether with or without polymeric flame protection, the EPS material offers an optimum solution for demanding applications thanks to its shock absorption characteristics and insulating properties.
