Expanded Polypropylene (EPP); It is a closed-cell foam material that offers unique features such as superior energy absorption, multiple impact resistance, thermal insulation, resistance to water and chemicals, extremely high strength compared to its weight and being 100% recyclable. EPP products can be produced in densities between 18 – 260 g/l. EPP beads are formed into the final product form by the steam molding process.
History of EPP
EPP was first developed by the company JSP in the 1970s as a result of the search for new forms of polypropylene. The first applications of this material were used for automotive products in Japan in 1982. Demand for EPP has grown significantly in all regions of the world since then, based on the need for automakers to improve their energy management functions while improving weight reduction and environmental benefits. The first automotive application for EPP was as an energy-absorbing component in bumper systems. EPP is now widely used in automotive parts and systems, including seat assembly and other interior components. Non-automotive uses of EPP are constantly being developed by companies such as Atermit.

What is EPS?
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS); It is a closed-pored, typically white and translucent thermoplastic material obtained by the polymerization of styrene monomer.
Why EPS?
Reasons for choosing EPS; It provides energy efficiency with its high insulation values, can be easily shaped and applied, is environmentally friendly and has a very low cost.
What is Piocelan?
Piocelan is a versatile type of polystyrene foam. In a new and innovative process, additional properties are given by adding polyolefin (PE) to conventional polystyrene.
Thanks to this combination, Piocelan retains the characteristic advantages of polystyrene such as high rigidity and low weight, while increasing shock absorption and flexibility. Chemical resistance has also been improved.
Why Piocelan?
Piocelan is well suited for transporting electronics and precision components.
Thanks to the high flexibility offered by the material, many designs can be produced in line with customer demands.
