Fast grade EPS gives excellent properties to processing procedures and products
1. Uniform original particles, and good fluidity of the particles.
2. No bad odor during pre-foaming and molding processes.
3. Shore curing time.
4. High cooling speed on the automatic molding machines; the effect is even better in the case of vacuum cooling.
5. Uniform and fine particle pores, smooth and attractive appearance of products.
6. Good internal conjunction of finished products, high impact resistance.
7. Compliance with food grade requirements, and capability of safely contacting daily necessities.
8. Recommendation for foaming ratio of 40 to 60 times.

Recommended processing conditions
1. Material Selection
Select particle diameters according to the requirements for the shape and density of the product; select 302XS or 301XS for large products with low density (less than 16 g/l), select 302XS or 303XS for continuous pre-foaming machines, and select 303XS/401XS/501XS for intermittent pre-foaming machines.
2. Pre-foaming
Steam pressure: 0.15MPa-0.30MPa
Pre-foaming temperature: 96-108℃
Curing time: 4-24 hours
3. Forming
Solid mold steam pressure: 0.7-1.2kgf/cm2
Mobile mold steam pressure: 0. 75-1.2kgf/cm2
 

Health and Safety
1. Fast EPS raw materials completely meet the requirements of food grade products, with a residual monomer content of less than 0.2% wt, which can safely contact with food. The total content of aromatic impurities is significantly lower than similar products.
2. During storage, transportation and processing, it can produce a small amount of pentane of foaming agents, of which the explosion limit concentration in the air is 1.1-6.0%; therefore, the raw materials and products must be stored in a well-ventilated area away from open flames and free of statics.
