Product analysis:
EPS 422FC is a high-performance expandable polystyrene (EPS) grade, known for its free-flowing spherical beads and low-density foam, typically around 25 kg/m³, though it can be adjusted based on specific applications. Containing pentane as the expansion agent, 422FC is fast-cycling, waterproof, and designed for smooth pre-expansion with minimal lumps.
While not fire-retardant, limiting its use in building applications, 422FC is highly effective in other areas requiring low-density foam. The bead size ranges from 0.5 to 0.7 mm, making it ideal for applications requiring precise foam expansion. It is manufactured by Tabriz Petrochemical Company under HS code 39031190.
- Speed and ease of roof execution
422FC simplifies and accelerates roof installation, reducing construction time due to its ease of handling and application. This efficiency allows for quicker project completion and minimizes labor costs, benefiting both residential and commercial roofing projects.
- Saves on plaster, dirt, and hardware
By eliminating the need for additional materials like plaster and hardware, it reduces overall material costs and cleanup efforts. This cost-effective approach streamlines the construction process and decreases the amount of waste generated.
- Stable against earthquakes
It provides structural stability during seismic events, helping to absorb and distribute seismic forces effectively. This resilience contributes to reduced damage and enhanced safety in earthquake-prone areas.
- Lightweight
Its lightweight property makes it easier to handle and install, reducing the physical strain on workers and minimizing transportation costs. Its low density contributes to overall efficiency in construction projects.
- Resistant to compression and impact
422FC withstands significant compression and impact forces without compromising its structural integrity. This durability ensures long-term performance and protection against physical stress and damage.
- High-speed implementation and cost reduction
The material’s ease of use enables rapid implementation, which accelerates project timelines and reduces labor costs. This efficiency leads to significant overall cost savings.
- Good insulator due to low polarity
It provides excellent thermal insulation because its low polarity minimizes heat transfer. This property enhances energy efficiency and helps maintain stable indoor temperatures.
- Good resistance against water and other solvents
It resists degradation from water and various solvents, ensuring durability and longevity in environments with potential moisture or chemical exposure. This resistance maintains the material’s integrity over time.
EPS 422FC is prized for its small bead size and free-flowing nature, making it ideal for contour molding, particularly in applications with wall thicknesses under 10 mm. Its fine beads enable precise molding of complex shapes, while its excellent mold-filling capability and high mechanical strength ensure durable foam components. For thicker molds, EPS 422FC allows for faster cooling times, enhancing production efficiency.
Additionally, EPS 422FC is widely used in block and shape molding. Its low moisture absorption ensures it maintains structural integrity even at low temperatures, without becoming brittle. This grade is also well-suited for protective packaging, where its closed-cell structure helps absorb impact stresses. The foam compresses under pressure, cushioning and protecting items during transportation.
