KEY INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) foam is a polypropylene type. After many impacts EPP regains its form. It therefore has the potential to withstand significant impacts, rendering it an suitable resource for globally modeling aviation and radio-controlled vehicles. EPP foam is manufactured using molding technique for the compression of the steam chest. By using this molding technique, beads of different sizes are glued together, resulting in a solid and lightweight product. Furthermore, manufacturers of expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam are increasingly investing in major economies, boosting the production of consumer and automobile goods. Consequently, the expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam market is expected to experience significant growth during the forecast period.


Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer which is also known as polypropene. EPP is fully recyclable and extremely flexibleIts other characteristics include excellent energy absorption, buoyancy, effect tolerance, thermal insulation, water and chemical tolerance and a high resistance to weight.

EPP foam is commonly used in automotive parts due to its low cost, excellent mechanical properties, and moldability. This helps to reduce vehicle weight and saves fuel. It also helps to reduce the leakage of VOCs from interior parts of vehicles. If EPP foam is additionally mixed with metals, it can consume and disperse a larger amount of energy, such reasons help the trend of making vehicles environmentally sustainable and thereby fuel market demand.
