The abbreviation EPP stands for expanded polypropylene and this is a particle foam consisting of 96% air and 4% polypropylene.
The innovative material EPP is considered a real problem solver for demanding challenges. Whether reusable packaging or transport trays, insulation parts for heating, air-conditioning and ventilation technology, technical molded parts or leisure, sports and garden articles - EPP can be used in a wide range of applications thanks to its outstanding material properties. On top of that, EPP is super environmentally friendly in production and can be returned to the production cycle after use, so it is 100% recyclable. The low weight is a plus for handling along the entire supply chain.

ESD-capable (electrostatic dissipative) material is used for special applications such as packaging electronic components or printed circuit boards. This allows electrostatic charges to be dissipated in a controlled manner and ensures maximum safety for these applications. If required, the material can also be equipped with flame protection.
