Expandable polypropylene (EPP) is a thermoplastic foam that can be used efficiently in the heating, air conditioning and ventilation industries as an insulation or housing protection. The closed-cell material is lightweight, has high structural strength and positive mechanical properties, such as very good energy absorption and high temperature resistance.

Particle foam is the standard, especially in the automotive industry. Thanks to their sturdiness and durability, load carriers shuttle back and forth between supplier and manufacturer many hundreds of times before they have to be replaced. Sensitive, painted, polished and in some cases highly sensitive components are held securely and accurately in place.

Stackable load carriers made of particle foam can be precisely milled to the specific shapes and dimensions of the components to be transported. The EPP material from which the carriers are made is elastic and very light. Nevertheless, this material offers high stability and makes it so appealing for use as reusable packaging. A stackable load carrier greatly simplifies the transport of parts between manufacturers and suppliers, reduces costs and improves handling during assembly.

We usually use EPP particle foam inlays for customized transport packaging, which must be resistant and lightweight. Especially for high-quality and sensitive products, customized packaging is indispensable to meet the high demands of shipping and to avoid damage in transit. The cushion inlays are declared as reusable packaging, as they have to endure several production cycles.

Large particle foam carriers are extremely durable and are designed primarily for reusable applications. They are very long lasting and mostly commute during their entire service life. For example, the automotive industry uses them along with components of a particular vehicle model series. At the end of the use cycle, the practical load carriers can be recycled in a sustainable way.

Expandable polypropylene (EPP) load carriers are an ideal alternative for reusable packaging applications. EPP is an elastic, closed-cell and thermoplastic foam, whose low weight combined with the strength of the material guarantees easy handling. The particle foam is also characterized by its very good mechanical properties. For example, electrical and sanitary components, machine components, ventilation elements, housings, car body parts and many more can be safely packed.

DE-PACK transport packaging solutions made of EPS guarantee first-class protection with low material usage, thanks to the advantageous properties of EPS (Styrofoam). In addition, expanded polystyrene is highly resilient, flexible, shock absorbent and ultra lightweight.

Optimize your packaging with EPS load carriers. This material has a smooth surface and is therefore suitable for various packaging applications like furniture or complex devices that have sensitive surfaces. EPS packaging is ideal for small as well as high quantities.

Rigid polystyrene foam can be used for a variety of packaging applications. The lightweight moulded parts are easy to produce in terms of shape and can be used cost-effectively in many technical industries such as furniture, automotive, medical, and many more.

The primary purpose of good packaging is to protect the products and transport them safely from one place to another. At DE-PACK, we use customized EPS foam for many of these secure packaging solutions. We can use it to effectively package almost every product according to customers' requirements. For example, the disposable or reusable packaging protects sensitive equipment and components, including series parts, as impact and pressure loads are optimally absorbed by this material.
