Polystyrene, abbreviated GPPS, used for general purposes, usually has properties such as good heat resistance, good impact strength, and good process fluidity. These polystyrenes have high dielectric properties and strength, therefore, they are widely used in electrical applications. The brand name of this product in the Iranian market is Crystal.
Indications
For the production of disposable tableware, electronics, watch case, TV, radio, sports equipment, toys, refrigeration insulation in the body of refrigerators, freezers and home appliances
Durable polystyrene
This type of polystyrene, abbreviated as high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), is impact resistant and is therefore used in the manufacture of utensils and the body of home appliances. The brand name of this material in the Iranian market is Himepack.
Indications
For the production of sports equipment, toys, refrigeration insulation in the body of refrigerators, freezers and home appliances
Expanded polystyrene
Expanded polystyrene EPS
Main article: Ionolite
This type of polystyrene, abbreviated as Expanded polystyrene (EPS), is a white polymer to which a foaming agent has been added. Which is known in Iran as Ionolite.
Indications
To produce roof plastofoam blocks for use as sound and heat insulation in various buildings and places.
Refrigeration insulation in industrial refrigerators and freezers.
Making all kinds of packaging foams and all kinds of refrigerators and thermos.
Features of EPS Ceiling Plastofoam Lightweight Block
Production of roof plastofoam blocks
The new roof block is made of expanded polystyrene material and is the best alternative to cement and clay blocks.
Features of EPS Ceiling Plastofoam Lightweight Block
1- Lightness
2- Speed and ease of roofing
3- Stable against earthquake: Due to the reduction of dead load, it is more stable against earthquakes and does not break during earthquakes.
4- Saving on plaster and soil: For the first time, grooves are made in the lower part of the mentioned block and it is placed in the lower part of the roof.
5- Saving on hardware: It is reduced by 22% per square meter.
6- Impactable
7- Fast and easy transportation
8- Loss of 15 tons of weight per 100 square meters
9- High speed in implementation and reduction of wage costs
10- Saving on concrete beams is roofed so that the axis distance of concrete beams can be changed from 50 cm to at least 60 cm.
Different grades of expansion polystyrene
Ionolite grades (EPS) are usually based on particle size and surface coating. Of course, there are certain grades of it, such as slow-burning (F) and antistatic.
