The full English name of EPP is Expanded Polypropylene, and the Chinese name is Expanded polypropylene. EPP foam material, also widely known as arpro, is a highly crystalline polymer/gas composite material with excellent performance, and its unique and superior performance has become the fastest growing environmentally friendly new compression buffer insulation material. EPP is widely used in construction, packaging, automobiles, sporting goods, outdoor goods, toys, toolboxes, food packaging boxes, household appliances, daily necessities, etc. PP foam materials are included in the "Made in China 2025" key areas of technical new materials part, following the small series to understand what areas of EPP applications.
Construction project
EPP composite hollow building template has light weight, high strength, good toughness, high impact strength, small expansion coefficient, large plate width, less joints, smooth surface, no moisture absorption, no mildew, no cracking, cold resistance, high temperature, acid and alkali resistance, flame retardant, sawing, nail, welding, no brush release agent, easy release, convenient assembly, high turnover rate, cheap, It can be processed into any length and many other advantages, can replace the traditional bamboo plywood, wood template: and compared with the traditional template, this product can be recycled to replace the old and new, and the turnover of use is 50 to 100 times.
Adiabatic insulation
EPP foam hollow structure, good barrier heat conduction. Foamed PP and foamed PE is the same closed bubble structure, therefore, its thermal conductivity will not be affected by humidity, and lower than foamed PE, with significant heat insulation, so it can be used as advanced insulation materials, in some need sufficient insulation protection of engineering equipment and medical and health fields widely used.
Suitable for medical treatment: 1. Refrigerated drugs, vaccines, clinical inspection and quarantine samples, blood samples distributed in provinces and cities. 2. Turnover of biological samples, diagnostic reagents and sections in hospital.
Take-out container
EPP products have high strength, good toughness, non-toxic and environmental protection, good insulation effect of hollow foam structure, and are ideal materials for making take-out boxes. EPP can meet the strength and assembly requirements of the product by adjusting the foaming rate. For example, the EPP box can be equipped with an external spring handle for easy delivery and handling.
With the hot development of Internet ordering such as Meituan, Ele. me, and Baidu takeout in recent years, the demand for EPP takeout boxes is strong and is currently in a period of rapid growth.
Model aircraft/toys
EPP has high strength, good toughness, surface abrasion resistance and scratch resistance, oil resistance and dirt resistance, safety and non-toxic, quick rebound recovery, and is an ideal model aircraft and children's toy material. With the upgrading of consumption and the tightening of environmental protection regulations, EPP is more widely used in the toy field.
Toolbox
EPP high strength, high toughness, water resistance, drop resistance, dimensional stability, lightweight quality, is the ideal material for toolbox.
CARS
The use of lightweight EPP materials in automotive components can improve overall fuel efficiency, and polypropylene (EPP) foam is an important material in the automotive manufacturing industry due to its elasticity, heat resistance, oil resistance, non-toxicity, recyclability and shock resistance. Demand for EPPs is increasing in the automotive industry. In addition, global automotive production and consumption have increased, which is expected to further drive the growth of the global EPP foam market. EPP can be used in many parts of the automobile
