Abstract
Polystyrene foam board, also known as foam board or EPS board, is an expandable polystyrene containing a volatile foaming agent. The beads are white particles formed by heating and pre-expanding in a mold, characterized by a microcellular closed-cell structure. It is primarily used for building wall and roof insulation, composite panel insulation, cold storage facilities, air conditioning systems, vehicle and ship insulation, floor insulation, and decorative carving. The EPS products produced by foam board manufacturing equipment have the following characteristics:
1. Appearance: White frothy spheres, heated by steam and expanded into white elastic bubbles.
2. Product ratio: approximately 1.03.
3. Main components: polystyrene (91–95%) and pentane (C5, C6: 5–8%); contains no fluorocarbons (chlorine) – fiber flooring).
4. Characteristics: EPS beads are heated above 90°C, causing them to soften and the water within to evaporate, resulting in expansion of the beads by a factor of 40–80. Fusibility: When EPS beads or foam particles are heated above 100°C, they readily melt and bond together. Aging: The blowing agent in RPS beads continuously escapes at room temperature, giving the product strong aging resistance; the typical shelf life is 2–3 months. There are also certain risks: EPS beads can release blowing agent, and they are flammable and explosive. Therefore, during transportation, fireworks and firecrackers are strictly prohibited, static electricity must be prevented, and adequate ventilation must be maintained.
5. Function: When used for packaging, the molded product provides shock absorption.
6. EPS foam board production equipment is primarily used for thermal insulation materials: due to the low thermal conductivity of bead-molded products, they are the optimal insulation material for refrigeration plants, cold storage facilities, refrigerated trucks, refrigerated ships, and ice-making plants.
7. EPS product packaging material is produced using EPS foam board manufacturing equipment: it is lightweight and has high mechanical strength, making it suitable for packaging food, machinery, electrical appliances, electronic components, and more. It is safe and reliable, resistant to damage, and enhances the value of the product.
8. Suitable for building materials: It provides thermal insulation, cold retention, and soundproofing, making it suitable for use in residential buildings, theaters, conference rooms, and other structures.
9. Applications of the product in decorative materials: Molded products exhibit weather resistance and colorability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including exhibition displays, cabinetry, signage, and toy manufacturing.
10. Product floating materials: Lightweight, these products can serve as lifesaving equipment, underwater toys, pontoons, shelves, and more. Polystyrene foam board, also known as foam board or EPS board, is an expandable polystyrene containing a volatile foaming agent. The beads are white particles formed by heating and pre-expansion in molds, characterized by a microcellular closed-cell structure. They are primarily used for thermal insulation of building walls and roofs, composite panel insulation, cold storage facilities, air conditioning systems, vehicles, ships, underfloor heating, decoration, and carving.
