Spark EPS (Expanded Polystyrene)
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam is the leader in providing products
for construction, geotechnical, industrial and packaging applications.

Spark EPS is a lightweight yet strong material that gives architects,

designers and builders the freedom and confidence to turn their vision
into reality. The Spark EPS insulation products are available in a range
of densities necessary to provide energy efficiency, structural
integrity and cost effectiveness.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a thermoplastic, closed cell,

lightweight, rigid foam. The EPS properties of low thermal
conductivity, high compressive strength and excellent shock
Standard EPS Foam Properties absorption makes it an ideal material for many uses. Spark EPS foam
or expanded polystyrene is engineered to give you the greatest
