6) Safety:
EPS is environmentally friendly, containing no CFCs or HCFCs, it is inert and safe for contact with

food products, and requires much less energy to produce than many other materials.
In applications where fire resistance is necessary or desirable, such as building products, EPS is supplied containing a flame retardant which in normal use prevents ignition of the EPS if exposed to a flame. In a fire situation EPS generates less heat and smoke than most timbers and wood based products.
7) Ease of Use:
EPS is supplied either moulded to the exact shape required for its use, or can be easily cut and shaped when required to suit any application. Its light weight makes handling easy and safe. EPS does not irritate the skin and is non allergenic.
8) Proven Experience:
EPS has been used throughout the world for over 40 years in an extremely wide range of applications. Experience has proven that EPS performance can be reliably predicted wherever it is used. Manufacturers have developed and refined processes so products are consistent and of a high quality. Regulatory authorities are familiar with EPS and generally well aware of its excellent properties. EPS is widely respected throughout the world as a versatile, efficient material which plays an important part in our everyday life.
9) Chemical Resistance:
EPS is resistant to almost all aqueous media including dilute acids and alkalis, methanol, ethanol and silicone oils. It has limited resistance to paraffin oil, vegetable oils, diesel fuel and Vaseline.
