PT Dinar Makmur was established in 1962. The first and the largest EPS producer in problems”
Indonesia. We produce a broad variety of protective packaging application through
our two plants, in Karawang and Cikarang. • Lightweight
• Easy to install
• Fire retardant
What is it? • Fast construction
• Geofoam first application was more than 50 years ago, in Norway, to solve settlement problems. Since • High compressive strength
then, its popularity as an ultra-light ground-fill has spread worldwide. Despite it’s low density, geofoam • Anti termite (Optional)
is stiff enough for traffic operations. Due to its low density, embankment can be built with near-zero • No heavy equipment needed
increment in net stress, allowing embankment to be constructed with negligible settlement. In addition,
geofoam can be placed in any weather condotions, reducing construction duration multiple times in Type EPS12 EPS15 EPS19 EPS22 EPS29 EPS39 EPS46

How is it manufactured?
• Geofoam raw material comes from polystyrene polymer beads
• The beds are then expanded using expanding agent (pentane); fire retardant and terite protection can
be added during this process
• The expanded beads are then poured into block molding machine, where it is steamed and vaporized
• Finally the geofoam is produced in blocks at our company with dimensions 4 m × 1 m × 0,5 m Bridge Underfill Rail Embankment Retairning & Buried Wall Landscaping &
