Results for tag: "Extruded Polypropylene Foam"

Extruded Polypropylene Foam (EPP) is a type of plastic foam used in a variety of applications. It is a lightweight, closed-cell foam that is highly resistant to compression and impact. It is also resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature extremes. EPP foam is often used in automotive, packaging, and construction applications due to its strength and durability. It is also used in the manufacture of sporting goods, such as helmets and protective gear. EPP foam is produced by a process called extrusion, which involves melting the plastic and forcing it through a die. This process creates a foam with a uniform cell structure and consistent density. The foam can then be cut into various shapes and sizes. EPP foam is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly material. It is recyclable and can be reused multiple times. It is also non-toxic and does not emit any hazardous fumes. Some companies in the EPP foam market include BASF, Dow, and Armacell. Other companies include Sekisui, Zotefoams, and Recticel.
