Expanded polypropylene (EPP) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) differ from each other. EPP is suitable for application in the automotive industry mostly due to its spectacular mechanical properties such as elasticity, tensile strength and high energy absorption.
Both exterior and interior automotive accessories can be manufactured from EPP:
- Bumpers
- Seats
- Luggage bins
- Headrests
- Carpet filling
- Etc.
EPP is a good choice for special packing solutions, for example when better protection of items is required.
Its lightness, full recyclability, optimal resistance and high stability are among the qualities that make it an outstanding material. EPP meets the strictest regulatory standards for shock absorbency and thermal and sound insulation.
Properties of EPP:
Agility
High thermal stability
Ultra-lightness
Flexibility
Chemical inertness
Outstanding shock absorbency
Ductility
Sterility
Versatility
