Expanded Polystyrene Cut Shapes: Beyond Building and Construction

Expanded polystyrene cut shapes from Foamex are more than just a construction material. What sets them apart from the competition is their superior versatility that makes them perfect for endless applications, particularly protective packaging, theatre or props, and even for marketing use like signage.

Made with 98% air, expanded polystyrene cut shapes are light and easy to custom cut to specific needs. They are also extremely rigid and do not absorb moisture meaning they are not easily penetrated by harmful chemicals, fungi, moulds, or other unwanted agents that may cause deterioration.

Expanded Polystyrene Cut Shapes Application Examples

Insulation

When it comes to insulation, EPS far outweighs its competition. It has an extremely high capacity for thermal insulation, which inhibits passage of hot or cold energy. Not only useful for building, this insulation benefit can reduce dependency on refrigerators and freezers, as it can be used as cold storage for foods or beverages. Resistant to water damage, EPS shapes can last a long time even after multiple uses.

Shock Absorption

Closed cell, EPS shapes are not only durable but also have a high energy absorption index, which makes it an ideal material when keeping fragile items safe, and particularly during transport or storage. This also makes it an ideal material in protective items such as helmets or children's seats.

Food Packaging

The low moisture absorbency of expanded polystyrene cut shapes makes it an ideal food packaging; it prevents possible leakage and penetration of bacteria, keeping the food safe and unharmed. The insulation property of EPS also keeps food fresh amid humidity or unstable temperature.

Marketing and Advertising Materials

Clean and cost-efficient, EPS is the most practical choice for increasing sales and publicity. It can be easily cut, printed, and coloured into creative marketing materials such as logos, messages, or images to attract customers. One of the most popular uses for creative EPS is the visual 3D signage, which can't be matched by digital signs or posters.
