Q&A of EPS
What is EPS?
EPS is the English Expanded Polystyrene for short, it is commonly known as Bubble or Styrofoam, is a kind of white plastic foam. This substance is heated with steam polystyrene, expanded modulo formed after massive volume is 50 times of the original, which comprises 95 to 98 per cent of air and pure polystyrene of 2 to 5 per cent. Small particles can be used in the manufacure of plastic foam cups and small containers, the median particle foams can be used in the manufacture bags, and the large particles are used for bulk packaging foam. The main features of this substance are: insulation, light weight, waterproof.
How to produce EPS?
The raw material of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is polystyrene, production of Expanded Polystyrene need to use gas as a blowing agent pentane. In the process of material production, foaming polystyrene resin particles are impregnated by the occurrence of polymerizaiton reaction to form a Foamed Polystyrene. At the beginning, EPS will have a pre-expansion process, the rapid thermal expansion of the volume increased by 50 times where in the particles occures in the EPS beads steam action. Next is the molding process of the Foamed Polystyrene, to continue to use steam heating, and further expand the Foamed EPS until all elements together to form the foam product.
How to deal with EPS Foam waste?
EPS waste are the final product of building, packaging and containers. EPS waste treatment cost is very expensive, mainly due to the large volume of this substance led to transportation difficulties.
EPS manure treatment has the following methods:
Landfill: Can not biodegradable.
Combustion: Gnerate heat.
Compression and granulation: Compressor with EPS and EPS waste recycling machine will be converted to PS particles used in the manufacture of plastic products, such as hangers, flower pots , videos and so on.
Melting and granulation.
Mixed with concrete , as a building material to reduce weight , increase insulation properties.
Crushed into small particles and mixed with the soil, improving soil ventilation.
