General Information

• Expanded polystyrene is made from the raw material of polystyrene. It is produced by using the pentane gas as blowing agent so that the granules expands and stick to each other.
• It can be manufactured in the forms of board in different size and with different technical properties according to the intented use and the place of use. 
• It is used for thermal insulation.
• It is produced in the plants that hold the ISO 9001 Quality Management System, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health & Safety Management System and ISO 50001 Energy Management System certificates provided by Bureau Veritas.
