Product analysis:
FC522 is a high-performance expandable polystyrene (EPS) product from TPC, designed for applications requiring low-density foam. This free-flowing grade consists of spherical polystyrene beads with pentane as the expansion agent. It typically achieves a density of around 36 kg/m³, though other densities can be achieved depending on the specific application and equipment used.
FC522 is particularly known for its fast-cycling capabilities and water-resistant formulation. That helps to produce low-density foam without lumps during pre-expansion. However, it is important to note that this grade is not fire retardant and is therefore unsuitable for building applications. Tabriz Petrochemical Company manufactures it under the HS code 39031190.
- Speed and ease of roof execution
FC522 allows for rapid roof installation because of its lightweight and easy-to-handle nature. Its consistency simplifies cutting and shaping, reducing the time and labor required for roofing tasks. This efficiency makes it ideal for large-scale projects where speed is essential.
- Saves on plaster, dirt, and hardware
The smooth surface of FC522 reduces the need for additional plastering. That leads to cost savings on materials. Its low absorption minimizes dirt buildup, decreasing maintenance efforts. Additionally, its inherent strength reduces the need for extra hardware, simplifying installation and further lowering costs.
- Lightweight
FC522’s medium density contributes to its lightweight nature, making it easy to handle and install. This reduces the physical strain on workers and the structural load on buildings. Its lightness also simplifies transportation.
- Stable against earthquakes
FC522’s lightweight and shock-absorbing properties provide enhanced stability during seismic events. Its flexibility helps dissipate energy from earthquakes. That reduces structural damage and increases safety. It is a reliable choice for construction in earthquake-prone areas, contributing to overall building resilience.
- Resistant to compression and impact
FC522 is designed to withstand significant compression and impact forces without deforming. This durability ensures long-term structural integrity, making it suitable for demanding applications where strength is crucial.
- High-speed implementation and cost reduction
The ease of working with FC522 allows for faster project completion, directly translating into labor cost savings. Its efficient installation process reduces overall construction time, making it a cost-effective solution for large projects.
- Good insulator due to low polarity
FC522’s low polarity contributes to its excellent insulating properties. It effectively reduces heat transfer, helping maintain stable interior temperatures. This insulation capability leads to energy savings in buildings by reducing heating and cooling demands, enhancing overall energy efficiency.
- Good resistance against water and other solvents
FC522’s chemical structure provides strong resistance to water and various solvents. It prevents degradation or damage when exposed to moisture or chemicals.
FC522 is ideal for high-density block and shape molding applications. Its small bead size makes it particularly well-suited for creating very thin wall shapes with thicknesses of less than 6 mm. This grade is perfect for producing high-quality products that require an improved surface finish and superior strength.
When properly processed, EPS foam packaging made from FC522 offers excellent mold-filling properties and high mechanical strength. FC522 is a reliable choice for demanding applications where precision and durability are essential.
