What is EPS insulation?
Expanded Polystyrene Insulation (EPS) is made by pouring foam beads into a mold. Direct application of heat or steam causes the beads to expand and fuse together. To sustain load and back-fill stresses, EPS is offered in a variety of compressive strengths. This closed-cell structure has a low vapour persistence and minimal water absorption.
Maintains a comfortable temperature
A rise in temperature may spoil food, especially perishables like fresh meat, seafood, and ice cream. Therefore, keeping the food at a constant temperature while in transportation is essential to preserving its quality.
Expanded polystyrene, or EPS, boxes have a lower threshold for thermal conductivity than other packing materials such as wood or cardboard. EPS is a great option for packing, storing, and transporting easily perishable food items that need proper insulation due to its high insulating qualities.
Food products are frequently preserved in EPS cooler boxes, either below or at the same temperature as their surroundings, and are protected from sudden temperature fluctuations.
Impact resistance and mechanical strength
EPS has a very high shock absorption capacity as well as remarkable mechanical and compressive strength. These characteristics aid in the protection of everything from fish and fresh produce to delicate electrical and electronic items. EPS packaging is also known for its capacity to protect high-value and/or large items, such as household appliances, computers, and television sets.
EPS boxes also assist food companies in meeting stringent regulatory regulations, quality, and food safety criteria by keeping a constant temperature and establishing a protective barrier.
Aside from preventing external contamination and bacterial deterioration, the insulating qualities of EPS boxes also serve to create ideal temperature conditions. These boxes create the ideal storage temperature for vegetables, fruits, and dairy goods, extending their shelf life.
Its exceptional thermal and protective qualities make it a dependable and affordable substitute for fresh foodstuff that is sensitive to temperature, including meat and fish.
