Q&A of EPS

The Development of EPS

Expandable Polystyrene is widely used as a decoration material, video settings, characters, oceanographic lifejackets and buoys and so on. Especially the large foam sheet is in great demand, as the color-coated steel sandwich panels, wire (Board) grid of lightweight composite panels, wall panels, roof insulation Board and hot plates, it is more widely used in the field of building construction, used as thermal insulation, thermal insulation, waterproofing and moisture-proof materials.
Market is the survival space and grounds. The rapid development of the market economy creates unlimited business opportunities for industry of expandable polystyrene, Expandable Polystyrene EPS is not balanced in all areas of application development. Pressure and limit pollution of the environment due to the effect of appropriate policies and regulations, expandable polystyrene used in the manufacture of snack boxes, cups and other disposable products has gradually been banned.
Under the influence of various factors, and difficulty of expandable polystyrene recycling is still very great. New alternative materials will inevitably gradually participate in EPS packing product market competition, so the future of expanded polystyrene packaging products total annual increases will not be too great.
Expandable Polystyrene is used due to its excellent insulation and insulation there is huge potential for growth, and has broad market prospect. With China's economy booming, EPS industry's development in China has entered a new era. Saving energy is a strategic focus for the development of China's energy industry, in 1986 the National Ministry of construction promulgated the civil construction energy conservation design standard for, and will further improve this standard indexes. Prior to the implementation of building skill standards, built by China over the residential area of nearly 8 billion square meters.
Since 2000, the heating area heat environment or energy consumption of energy-saving renovation of the older buildings have begun, 2005 country in key cities and towns to start energy saving. Expandable Polystyrene plate due to its low thermal conductivity, light-weight, high-strength, waterproof, impervious, ease of construction, and other outstanding performance in renovation of old houses of the most attractive On October 1, 2001, issued by the Ministry of the design standard for energy efficiency of residential buildings in hot summer and cold winter area, its basic objectives are: in summer-hot and winter-cold area of China improve the quality of residential thermal environment, while improving the efficiency of energy use, use of exterior wall outer thermal insulation polystyrene foamed plastic Board and roof insulation, realization of building energy efficiency.
