SIBUR Group posted a video about the production of expandable polystyrene (EPS, EPS) at the factory “Sibur-Khimprom” (Perm). Expandable polystyrene – styrene polymerization product polymer composition is introduced into the blowing agent (gas). PSV used in polymer processing in the insulation boards and the finished parts by foaming. The material has excellent thermal insulation and sound insulation properties, high impact resistance, vibration resistance, light resistance, water and dust resistance, strength at physical treatment. EPS is resistant to hydrolysis, grease, acids, alkaline solutions and acids. PSV is actively used in the construction of the production of panels for thermal insulation of walls and ceilings (polystyrene) as well as in the production of thin-walled products, fire resistant technical and food packaging.
