About EPS and Advantages of EPS Packaging.

What is EPS?EPS is a rigid closed cell/cellular plastic resin made from petrochemicals derived from crude oil. The resin is incorporated via a blowing agent, pentane gas (C5H12). Steam softens the plasticresin causing the pentane to expand the plastic into beads at least 40 times their original size. Amazingly, EPS is about 98% air and 2% polystyrene.EPS was invented in Germany in 1949 by BASF scientist Dr.Fritz Stastny. It has been used for packaging since 1958.Advantages of EPS Packaging:It protects your products: EPS has outstanding shock absorbency and compression, which provides excellent protection properties.It’s Durable: The exceptional durability of EPS makes it an effective and reliable protective Sterilization Packaging for all sorts of fresh food and other goods.
