SE-3000 is a robust expandable polystyrene (EPS) resin formulated with pentane gas as a foam blowing agent and enhanced with a non-HBCD brominated hydrocarbon as a flame retardant. This EPS grade is particularly designed for applications that demand high insulation properties, excellent expansion, and mechanical strength.
Key Features
- Advanced Flame Retardancy: Utilizes non-HBCD brominated hydrocarbon, ensuring enhanced safety standards in fire-sensitive applications.
- High Expansion Capability: Capable of expanding down to 15 g/l after one expansion and down to 10 g/l after a second, making it highly effective for filling and insulation tasks.
- Outstanding Insulation and Structural Integrity: Offers top-tier insulation, moisture proofing, and load-bearing capabilities suitable for demanding engineering applications.
Applications
- Rigid Insulation Boards: Used extensively in the construction industry for insulation that meets high safety and performance standards.
- Panel Applications: Perfect for constructing durable, insulated panels used in various architectural and civil engineering projects.
- Construction Blocks and Low Density Housing: Ideal for creating lightweight yet durable blocks used in civil engineering and low-density residential projects.
Technical Specifications
- Bead Size: 0.4-0.9 mm, allowing for consistent performance and quality control.
- Blowing Agent Content: Maintains a minimum of 6.0 wt%, aiding in the effective expansion of the material.
- Polymer Content: Stands at 92-94 wt%, ensuring the structural robustness of the EPS.
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Foam Density: 23-25 g/l, indicative of its ability to support substantial mechanical loads while providing excellent insulation.
- Specific Gravity: Approximately 1.02-1.05, reflects the density of the material in comparison to water.
- Expandability: 50-95 times, showcases the extensive volumetric expansion capability from its original size.
Packaging
- 25 kg Woven Polypropylene Laminated Double-Layered Kraft Sacks
- 1000 kg Polypropylene Bulk Jumbo Bags, accommodating large-scale industrial and construction needs.
