Airpop become new name of polystyrene in Europe

Recently, according to the relevant source said: As the largest building insulation industry using polystyrene plastics (EPS), will be renamed “airpop- engineeredair” EPS had more than one name in Europe, such as Styropor, PSE, Piepschuim and Polyfoam. This change gives a generic name of such materials.
British Plastics Federation EPS Group chairman David Emes explains:.. “Select Airpop is because the name can make people immediately think of such a material is made of air, in fact, more precisely, only 98% of the air needs a little PS can be extended to five times its original volume. this excellent material because of its lightweight, high impact and highly efficient thermal insulation in building and civil engineering industry has been widely used. at the same time, its products protects any need to protect the things – the child’s head, televisions, computers, fresh fish as well as in everyday life used in thousands of articles ”

EPS Airpop® motion by the European Union (EUMEPS) EPS and national trade associations, the European EPS raw material co-sponsored by the manufacturer. Frankfurt, Germany’s world-renowned advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather presented this innovative concept.
Airpop® represents Europe has a nearly 200 small and medium processors of industries, 30 million tons per year of raw materials processed into airpop® sheets, plates, components and products. The main customers are building, civil engineering, HVAC engineering, computer and electronic products, commodity producers and the food industry.
British Plastics Federation is the UK plastics design, technological advances and manufacturing leading trading authority. EPS Group members include: airpop® processors and middlemen, raw material suppliers, airpop® processing, manufacturing and auxiliary equipment suppliers, as well as airpop® recyclers.
The name change, indicating that the European polystyrene plastic lighter toward more insulation in the direction of change. However, EPS recycling is still used by most people.

XPS insulation board advantages

Image
1. Excellent thermal insulation Having high thermal resistance, low linear expansion lower than the characteristics of its closed cell structure rate reached more than 99%, forming a vacuum layer to prevent the flow of cooling air, ensuring lasting stability and insulation performance, relative to the urethane foam 80% the obturator rate, leading edge self-evident. Practice has proved 20mm thick XPS extruded insulation board, insulation effect is equivalent to 50mm thick polystyrene foam, 120mm thick cement perlite. Therefore, this material is the best choice for building insulation. 2. Excellent high compressive strength, due to the special structure of the XPS board, it has high compressive strength, impact resistance strong, depending on the size and thickness of XPS its compressive strength reaches 150 ~ 500Kpa above, can withstand all ground load system, widely used in geothermal projects, highways, airport runways, the square ground, large cold storage insu...

Polystyrene foam ceiling for Process Control

Image
Polystyrene foam ceiling process control points: ① The absorption of butane foaming agent as a foaming agent having a boiling point of -5 ℃. In order to ensure adequate absorption of butane PS, must be carried out in an autoclave at elevated temperature and pressure the reaction, the dispersion medium is soft soap powder as a dispersant, to promote uniform dispersion of butane. Polystyrene foam ceiling for Process Control Pressure within the autoclave control should be less than 10kg / cm2, at a temperature of 80-90 ℃, then PS soften, butane penetration into the PS. Then incubated 4-12h, PS in the butane content is generally up to a 7.5% to 5.5%. Cooled to below 40 ℃ discharge, obtained after washing the beads can be made of PS. Due to the distribution in the freshly prepared beads can be made of PS butane absorption is not very uniform, should be stored at low temperatures, a week or even a month, in order to ensure adequate dispersion of butane in the...
