• Ideal vibration damping;

• little deformation under continuous loading;

• excellent padding characteristics at even thin layers;

• Reversible, very high-energy absorption;

• Low thermal conductivity and good temperature resistance;

• Very low water absorption and high water vapour diffusion factor;

• Low inherent weight reduces overall weight;

• environmentally friendly and recyclable;

• Three-dimensional designs can be easily manufactured.

 

 

EPP is extensively used in the automotive industry for padding and insulation applications.

EPP can be found throughout the car: from the dashboard to the toolbox. The following lists but a few applications:
