Applications of EPS

Expanded Polystyrene India

EPS is one of the most cost-effective protective packaging materials available and is used all over the world to protect goods from transit damage.  It possesses an extraordinary combination of lightness, rigidity and shock absorption and can be moulded to virtually any shape desired.

EPS is also used widely for low temperature thermal insulation because of its low thermal conductivity and closed cell structure (most other thermal insulation materials have open cell structures which make them vulnerable to moisture penetration).  Because EPS has no taste or odour and does not harbour fungi, it is used extensively in the packaging of pharmaceutical products, such as vaccines, where stringent temperature ranges are required to be maintained.

EPS is also used to make internal components for the air-conditioning and refrigeration industries.  Earlier, these parts were made by gluing insulation materials on to a metal sheet but they have been now replaced by EPS because it possesses both rigidity and the required insulation properties, and can be moulded in one piece.

EPS is now widely used for the packaging of agricultural products in India and various countries.  Fruits such as grapes, pomegranates, papayas, mangoes and many others, and various types of vegetables, are conveniently packed and stored in EPS containers.  Even in the marine industry, EPS boxes are used extensively to stock fish and other seafood.

Another useful application of EPS is in construction.  Its high thermal insulation makes it an excellent material to use in the construction of walls and ceilings and its high sound absorption makes it the ideal choice for sound-proofing.

Another recent application of EPS is as “Geofoam” in landfills.  This application is made possible because of EPS’s light weight, water resistance, dimensional stability and inert nature.

K. K. Nag Pvt. Ltd caters to customers from various sectors that include exhibition solution providers, children’s park equipment and the automotive industry. Our proprietary products are exported world-wide to international aid agencies like Oxfam, UNICEF, MSF, ACF and ICRC. We also have our own brand of rotomoulded tanks.  We have a 4-arm rotomoulding machine with a gas-fired burner and a swing diameter of 2200 mm. We also have a facility for PU foaming with soft and hard foam.

Rotational Moulding is a 3-stage process

Polymer powder is manually loaded into the mould which is then closed and shifted to the heating oven. Here, the mould is heated using forced hot-air circulation. While being heated, the mould is rotated in two perpendicular axes simultaneously. The polymer then melts and forms a homogenous layer within the mould. The mould is then shifted to a cooling station where forced air is used to cool it. Finally, the mould is opened and the moulding is removed. Unlike injection and blow moulding, rotomoulding does not involve high pressure; hence, products are stress-free and the walls are of uniform thickness.

EPP is a closed cell foam, which is flexible and lightweight. Its high energy absorbent properties combined with characteristic lightness make it a vital material in various industries. It also has a high capacity of energy absorption which is unchangeable after multiple impact loading and repetitive shocks, and recovers remarkably after dynamic and static loading. EPP’s distinct properties of high sound absorption, low water absorption and excellent chemical resistance have further fuelled its use in various fields. High thermal resistance allows EPP to provide optimum heat insulation. EPP does not support microbial growth and can be made sterile with steam cleaning, making it appropriate for use in containers for food and beverages. However, the most distinctive features of EPP are its ecological properties. An environmentally-friendly product, it can be recycled easily and is 100% non-toxic, containing no CFC or any other blowing agents.

Applications of EPP in the Auto Industry

EPP is widely utilised by automotive manufacturers because of its performance benefits for energy management, lightweight, enhanced functionality, durability and recyclability.  These properties make EPP an ideal choice for the automotive industry to manufacture various parts such as bumper systems, battery covers, sun visors, head rests, seats, door panels and side impact protection panels.

Other Applications of EPP

EPP is durable, lightweight, and recyclable. It is resistant to water, chemicals, and most oils and can withstand multiple impacts without significant damage, making its applications almost limitless. Reusable industrial packaging, known as dunnage, is frequently made from EPP due to its durability and its inherent ability to absorb energy in transit. EPP’s thermal insulation properties and structural strength make it ideal for packaging and transporting hot/cold food and beverages. This property also makes it useful in the production of heat exchanger parts. EPP’s ability to absorb impact makes it the perfect choice as packaging for computers, printers, peripherals and as protection corners for various cubic articles. It is even used extensively in the manufacture of computer housings. The defense industry uses EPP extensively as a reusable packaging for various items in India and various countries.

PALLETS  – An Integral part of Any Material Handling and Logistics System

• Logistics has become very important in today’s scenario.  If the product is not moved to the right place, at the right time, it loses its value and utility.   For example, if a fresh catch of fish does not reach the right place at the right time, it becomes useless.
• Pallets are thus very important and are an integral part of any logistics systems; wrong selection from a wrong source can lead to disaster.
• In spite of their importance, handling systems and pallets do not get the attention they deserve and are given only residual budgets.

WHAT IS A PALLET?

• A pallet is basically an elevated platform of a convenient size.
• For easy, speedy and safe handling of cargo.
• Also helps bring about space saving.

Application

• Static Application
• Dynamic Application
• Racking System
• A S R S

Load

• Uniformly Distributed Load
• Point Load

Material Handling Equipment

• Hydraulic Pallet Truck
• Fork Lift
• Stacker/Racker

(Distance between Jaws/Forks of MHE and width of racks is very important)

Applications of Thermocol (EPS)

Thermocol or EPS is a preferred packaging material across many industrial segments. Widely accessible for purchase from any part of the country, thermocol is one of the most reliable and cost-effective means to protect your goods from transit damage. It is extremely light. It can be molded into any desired shape and is yet sufficiently rigid to absorb shocks and physical impact. We are leading manufacturers of top quality EPS in India. We have a list of ever-growing clientele.

EPS comes with many advantages. More importantly, EPS features a closed cell structure and thus supports low thermal conductivity. It is highly preferred for thermal insulation. Other materials possess an open cell structure and are thus incompetent when subject to moisture.

Secondly, thermocol is tasteless, odorless and fungi-resistant. This makes it the perfect packaging material for pharmaceutical products. It also helps  to maintain a temperature balance.

EPS applications includes packaging of fruits such as mangoes, papayas, grapes etc., as they remain thermally protected. K. K. Nag Pvt. Ltd also facilitates extensive packaging of seafood by providing sufficient supply of thermocol in India.
