Types of EPP materials used in household products

EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) is a new type of environmentally friendly plastic material with excellent performance, EPP granules are the basis of various EPP products, these small granules are formed by expansion through steam heating and can be injected into moulds for shaping. In the household sector, EPP is widely used in a variety of products because of its lightweight, impact-resistant, heat-insulating and sound-insulating properties.

 

These products demonstrate the versatility of EPP materials and the range of applications it can be used for in modern home design. The use of EPP in household products is likely to continue to grow as environmental awareness and demand for sustainable materials increases.

In addition, EPP foam is ideal for shockproofing electronic products due to its flexibility and cushioning; EPP tubes and rods are often used where support is required due to their robust structure; and EPP reticulation ensures the breathability of the packaging, making it suitable for packaging that requires ventilation to preserve freshness. At the same time, EPP foam blocks and laminates offer a wider variety of options to meet the specific needs of different sectors.

In cold chain logistics, EPP insulated boxes can effectively maintain the internal temperature to ensure that the quality of food or medicine is not damaged during transport. The automotive industry also makes use of EPP materials to make bumpers and other parts to improve the safety performance of the vehicle, EPP sheet is pressed into a fixed shape under high temperature particles, often used as anti-vibration, heat insulation materials. EPP moulded parts are made from EPP particles in a mould according to the protection needs of a particular product, and are commonly used for the protection and packaging of precision instruments or electronic equipment.

The following are some of the household products made with EPP materials.

1. Furniture: EPP is used to produce lightweight and durable chairs, tables and sofas. Its lightweight characteristics make it easier to handle, while its good cushioning properties provide additional comfort.

2. Floor mats/children's play mats: EPP floor mats or play mats are soft and flexible, can protect children from injuries while playing, and are easy to clean and maintain.

3. Storage Boxes / Organisers: Due to its impact and chemical resistance, EPP material is suitable for making durable storage boxes and organisers for clothes, toys and other household items.

4. Thermal insulation containers: The thermal insulation performance of EPP material makes it an ideal material for making thermal insulation containers such as lunch boxes and preservation boxes.

5. Soundproof material: In places where sound insulation and noise reduction are needed, such as audio-visual rooms or bedrooms, EPP material can be used as an effective soundproof layer to reduce noise interference.

6. Bathroom products: Including non-slip floor mats, bathroom storage racks, etc. The waterproof and durability of EPP materials make them suitable for wet environments.

7. Interior decoration: EPP materials can also be used to make decorative panels and wall panels, providing a modern appearance as well as thermal and acoustic insulation.

8. Pet products: For example, pet mattresses, toys, etc., EPP materials are suitable for making pet products due to their bite and wear-resistant properties.

9. Mobile homes and modular buildings: Due to their robust and lightweight structure, EPP materials are also used in the construction of lightweight buildings and temporary housing.
