Expandable polystyrene is a light, stiff foam made from tiny beads. A gas expands the beads, and a mold then shapes them. Manufacturers heat the beads, the gas grows, and the softened beads stick together into the familiar white eps foam.

EPP foam gives modern toys a rare mix of safety, durability, and versatility. This lightweight, impact-resistant material is non-toxic and fully recyclable, so EPP is a great material for toys that children use every day.

ETPU foam is expanded thermoplastic polyurethane. It is a light, bouncy material made of tiny foam beads stuck together. Shoe soles made with it offer a rare mix: comfort, cushioning, and energy return that lasts many miles.

A folded shirt shows up wrinkled. A delicate accessory slides around inside its box during shipping. These small letdowns happen when packaging fails to hold items in place.

EPS pallets are light in weight and protect against heat and shock. These traits make foam pallets a good fit for cold chain shipping, air freight, and shipments that damage easily. Food and beverage, pharmaceutical, electronics, and retail operations use EPS pallets most often.

You lose money and time when eps moulding defects ruin your foam products. Factories often deal with surface burns, empty spaces inside, bent shapes, and weak bead bonding. Fortunately, you can fix these normal problems fast without buying pricey new machines.
