For this reason, today our council is focused on working with this very common material and that many times we do not know what products to deal with.

To paste it:

To stick the polystyrene we must use a special adhesive, there are contact glues for polystyrene, white or transparent. With the Polystyrene cut sheets you can have the best choices.

To paint it:

To paint Polystyrene it is very important to use acrylic or water based products. Dilutions to the solvent decompose the polystyrene damaging its surface and degrading the product.

It is important, if we want to paint, also apply a water-based primer so that the paint film that we will apply afterwards is uniform.

We hope we have helped you with this advice

Expanded polystyrene is a rigid foam made up of adjoining cells that house air, which gives it great properties as a thermal insulator. It is characterized by its lightness, resistance to humidity and shock absorption capacity.

Being 98% air, the expanded polystyrene has very little weight, making it easier to handle.It is resistant to aging and decomposition processes, keeping its dimensions unchanged, which is very important as it guarantees compliance with thermal regulations over time.

Great efficiency:

The enclosures isolated with this material reach energy saving rates of up to 40%.

It is an excellent thermal insulator due to its low conductivity, this is a physical property of materials that measures the amount of heat or cold that can pass through that material.

Some characteristics and advantages of expanded polystyrene:

Acoustic absorbent.

Malleable.

Easy to size and work

Toilet.

High resistance to weathering.

Does not give off odors.

Avoid the passage of water.

Avoid air leaks inside the enclosures.

These trays do not present any problem with the cold, since they resist low temperatures very well. The only downside is that the XPS is thermal insulating, so it will take a little longer to freeze the product than in another container. Instead, waste release processes like styrene slow down and slow down, according to the expert.
