The company’s professional and dynamic team of technical, sales and production experts offers clients a wide range of highly functional and largely customisable solutions.
The EPS advantage
The requirement for rapid building, rising energy costs, and greater awareness of global warming and energy conservation have changed all aspects of building design. EPS has become a widely used product in modern-day construction.
It is an inert material that does not rot and provides no nutritional benefits to vermin – therefore EPS does not attract pests such as rats or beetles. Its strength, durability and lightweight nature make it a versatile and popular building product.
Applications include insulated panel systems for walls, roofs and floors, as well as facades for both domestic and commercial buildings. It is also used as a void-forming fill material in civil engineering projects, as a lightweight fill in road and railway construction, and as floatation material in the construction of pontoons and marinas.
Benefits
EPS consists of 98% air and has long been used as a thermal agent. The material’s insulating ability makes it ideal for energy-efficient building products.
Additional benefits of EPS include:
- Lightweight, easy to transport and install.
- Moisture resistant, increasing water penetration resistance.
- Sound absorbency, since it is resistant to vibration, which helps to increase sound insulation.
- Non-toxic, it does not contain CFCs and does not decompose into harmful substances.
- Easy to use, as it is easily painted using PVA applied by brush or spray, and bonds easily to other materials.
- 100% recyclable.
- Extremely cost-effective.
- Can be moulded, shaped and cut into virtually any shape or pattern.
- Modular and easy to extend.
- All EPS used in Technopol’s products is fire retardant, and it will not propagate or contribute to the spread of fire.
- It does not rot or degrade over time, remains dimensionally stable, will remain fully functional for the life of any building.
