• Use of Infrared Imaging Techniques to Understand and Quantify Expanded Polymer Molding Operations and Part Quality (.pdf)
  The manufacture of expanded polystyrene, polypropylene and similar molded parts (automotive bumpers, protective helmets, etc.) requires precise molding control for its vacuum, steaming and subsequent cooling cycles. These are processes where optimal part quality demands a precise amount of steam...
• Case History: New Feeders Boost EPS Production and Efficiency at Bandex
  Bandex S.A., located in San Luis, Argentina, manufactures disposable containers and plates from expanded polystyrene (EPS). The production line extrudes and thermoforms virgin polystyrene, recycled polystyrene, talc, and masterbatch color pellets. Bandex is the market leader in EPS packaging...
• Polyolefins
  methods used for expandable polystyrene (EPS). After the beads are expanded (20 to 40 times that of the solid resin) nd conditioned, they are poured into a mold and heated, usually by direct injection of steam. This softens, expands further, nd fuses the particles together, forming a niform, void-free...
• Fermentation and Cell Culture: Get it Right
  By Angelo De Palma, Ph.D., Contributing Editor Wave has also partnered with Nunc (Rochester, N.Y.), known for its cell culture bottles, to incorporate Nunc's 2DMicroHex carriers, which work similarly to FibraCel, into disposable process bags. 2DMicroHex carriers are flake-like polystyrene hexagons...

• From Lubricants to Packaging Materials: ARS Scientists Just Say "No" to Petroleum
  . At various points in the process, the beads puff and expand. That happens, for instance, when the beads are put into the cavity of a heated mold, to press them into the desired shape. Expanded beads will eventually touch one another, creating a strong matrix that's much like the bead matrix of polystyrene...
• Packaging Goes Back to Nature
  and electrically neutral and largely insensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. The material is said to outperform vacuum-formed plastics, corrugated cardboard, and expanded polystyrene (EPS), especially when vibration comes into play. These qualities have led to its use in packaging...
• CNC Routers Increase Productivity in the Plastics and Foam Industry
  applications such as inside bicycle helmets. The company, which has 250 employees, molds a full range of materials including expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyethylene (EPE), expanded polypropylene (EPP), and copolymers such as GECET, ARCEL, and RMER. These raw materials are injected as beads...
• Application Articles: CNC Router Drops Production Time for Foam Samples from Five days to Two
  foam products are used in the packaging of items such as electronics equipment and appliances, but they can also be found in other applications such as inside bicycle helmets. The company, which has 250 employees, molds a full range of materials including expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded...
