Features & Benefits

Custom Moulded Expanded Polystyrene Products (EPS)

Features Benefits
Lower damage rates RMAX EPS has an outstanding ability to dampen vibration and absorb impact shock, reducing handling and transport damage.
Outstanding thermal efficiency The superior thermal efficiency of EPS makes it ideal for packaging any product that is sensitive to temperature change. Products enclosed in EPS containers can be maintained for long periods at temperatures above or below ambient conditions and can be protected from sudden temperature changes that can occur in transport through different climatic zones. This includes food, pharmaceutical and medical products. EPS is a lightweight, versatile, durable and economical material ideally suited to a wide range of uses.
Moisture resistance The low water absorption and water vapour permeability characteristics make EPS packaging ideal where moisture is a problem. EPS containers will not lose their strength even if wet.
Enhanced product presentation The clean white finish of EPS provides an excellent background to display product. There are no shreds, shavings or dust to spoil the goods.
Faster packing time EPS packaging is easily handled and does not require labour intensive assembly.
Reduced warehouse costs RMAX packaging systems have repeatedly provided significant cost savings. The strength and rigidity of EPS means that EPS packaged goods can be stacked to maximise vertical warehouse space. It is the package and not the product that supports the load.

 

Custom Moulded Expanded Polypropylene (EPP)

Features Benefits
High impact energy absorption Over a wide range of temperatures EPP has high impact energy absorption.
Reduced weight EPP can be made in densities from 20 grams per litre to 100 grams per litre allowing a large degree of versatility when looking at options for packaging size and impact resistance.
High static load bearing capacity  Allows lightweight components to carry heavy loads.
High temperature resilience EPP can be used in temperatures from -35°C to +130°C without loss of physical properties.
High abrasion resistance Due to the base polymer characteristics EPP foams are very resistant to abrasion making them very useful and cost effective when products are being moved frequently i.e. car jack containers, tote boxes or when items are pressed against a hard surface for long periods of time.
Excellent oil and chemical resistance EPP has very good oil and chemical resistance making it the ideal component for use in automotive applications such as bumper bar cores.
Low moisture absorption EPP is similar to EPS in its low absorption of moisture.
Environmentally responsible 100% recyclable.
Inert material Does not support microbiological growth. Does not deteriorate in use.
EPP uses air for its blowing agent Highly effective and environmentally responsible.
Unique moulding capabilities Surface grains can be moulded into the EPP products to give a textured appearance.
