Styropor® F 495 E

Styropor® F 495 E by BASF is a flame retardant, expandable polystyrene (EPS) polymer with 4.5% pentane content. It exhibits low weight, good shock absorption, good thermal conductivity- and performance. It offers high compressive strength, outstanding impact absorption and moisture resistance. It is designed for processing by foams with molding, pre-expansion, intermediate storage and expansion stages. During the pre-expansion stage, the compact raw material is transformed into closed-cell foam which is characterized by low energy consumption and short cycle times. After an appropriate intermediate storage time, EPS is expanded in conventional block molds to make foams. Typical applications of Styropor® F 495 E include decorative ceiling panels and technical moldings.
