What is EPP?
Expandable polypropylene is a soft-elastic to semi-rigid, closed-cell and thermoplastic foam. This particle foam is characterised by its very good mechanical properties.
EPP – EXPANDABLE POLYPROPYLENE
EPP packaging
Robust packaging is required for the transport of high-quality and sensitive electronic devices. In this area, EPP packaging has established itself as a resistant load carrier.
EPP molded parts
Expandable polypropylene is also used in sports and leisure applications. This foam is used, for example, in the manufacture of bicycle helmets and is also used as an extravagant design element in furniture design.
VERSATILE & ROBUST
WHERE CAN EPP BE USED?
EPP is a little more resistant and robust than EPS and has a high energy absorption. Expanded polypropylene (EPP) is therefore extremely well suited for products and molded parts that have to withstand a lot. EPP is therefore particularly popular as a crash pad, bumper or headrest in motor vehicles. It increases the safety and protection of vehicle occupants in the event of an emergency.
Another special feature of EPP and other particle foams is their low weight compared to other materials. It helps to reduce the vehicle’s weight, which leads to lower fuel consumption and greater environmental friendliness. EPP is also a fully recyclable particle foam.
But EPP is not only a valuable and practical material for the automotive industry. EPP can be used in almost all industries where lightweight potential, insulation and resistance are important aspects.
