Products : Block & Shape EPS

Unique HBCD-Free Flame Retardant Technology

Our EPS experts and efficient staff can help you to be more competitive by creating greater value for your customers and end users. From ordering to manufacturing, from lot to lot, package to package, you can count on us for the most consistent, high quality expandable polystyrene products and services.

Closely controlling bead size and volatile content results in exceptional uniformity and density. This helps control your costs while maintaining the quality and consistency of the finished product. With three separate bead size distributions, StyroChem can provide the right EPS for your applications’ density and
surface finish requirements.

Block MoldingMODIFIED EPS FOR BLOCK AND SHAPE MOLDING
Our EPS products incorporate a unique flame-retardant technology.
• Construction and flame-retardant grades are free from HBCD.
• No POP (Persistent Organic Pollutant) chemicals.
• All grades certified for multiple building code requirements.

M-500 AND M-590 PRODUCTS
M-500 – fast expansion rates, low density potential and excellent yields in conversion from beads to molded foam.
M-500C – maximum bag life, extending workable time from expansion to molding.
M-500E – faster molding cycle times while maintaining an intermediate bag life.
Shape MoldingM-590 – fast cycling for billets and molded parts of all sizes and thicknesses.

NON-MODIFIED EPS FOR SHAPE MOLDING
A logical choice for protective packaging, StyroChem has an EPS grade to suit any application, including direct food contact products for fish, meat and produce boxes.

C334 SUPERIOR PROTECTIVE PACKAGING
C334 – high compressive strength, good insulation properties and dimensional stability.
C334E – intermediate cycle times with extended bag life.
C334H – fast cycling with added benefit of meeting FDA 21 CFR 177 certification for direct food contact applications.

C280 LEAK-RESISTANT, THIN-WALL PACKAGING
C280CZ – for thin-wall to ultra-thin-wall molding applications needing extremely fast cycle times and FDA 21 CFR 177 certification for direct food contact.

*  The actual minimum density achievable for any product may be lower, as it is also a function of utilities and expander capabilities. 
Compliance to UL 723 or ASTM E84 is only applicable to a minimum density of 0.90 pcf.
** Volatile content can be customized per customer request.
