It is a synthetic material made from crude oil. Styrofoam is obtained by rolling the oil part and is formed in the form of small balls during refining. As a result of injecting steam into these balls, the balls swell and stick to each other. This material has areas of use as insulation or packaging material.

It is a type of material used to provide insulation between two brick walls, between the roof and, when necessary, on interior walls.
In packaging, especially electronics and white goods, or glass, ceramics, etc. Provides protection of valuable tools.

Styrofoam Usage areas :

We know that EPS (Styrofoam) is a product that is extremely healthy, harmless, easily shaped, light, almost does not burden our structures, and has little weight in transportation, but let's examine its other properties as well.

If we consider it in terms of health, especially white styrofoam glass, plate, medical equipment protector and so on. We can say that it is a product that has been scientifically proven in terms of health and hygiene, and that other packaging types are also used in these areas.

In terms of structure, we are one of the leading advocates of its use in buildings, although it does not harm the buildings. Although the thickness and density of White Styrofoam, EPS is also important, it has unlimited usage areas in isolation and decoration.

1. White Styrofoam (EPS)
2. B1 Class Styrofoam
3. Hollow Styrofoam
4. Neopor Carbon Reinforced Styrofoam

Styrofoam DENSITY: (density kg/m³)

Styrofoam is produced in desired densities according to the usage area. Since its properties can be changed in the desired direction, it does not cause material waste and unnecessary cost increases. Generally at 15-30 kg/m3 densities for thermal insulation; It is produced in densities of 20-100 kg/m3 for use as packaging material. As a finished product, Styrofoam also has features such as lightness, easy workability and usability in the manufacture of other materials and composite products. It is possible to perform EPS Styrofoam Cutting in the most professional way with ESP Engineering Fast Wire CNC Cutting Machines and Fast Wire Manual Cutting Machines.

The state of volcanic rocks, especially basalt, melted at high temperatures and gained the property of building material is called stone wool. Stone wool is generally used as an insulation material on the exterior of buildings.

It is also very advantageous in that it is resistant to fire due to its stone wool content. For this reason, it is a building material that is frequently used in the construction industry. Stone wool is a material that can be used for both heat and sound insulation.

Volcanic rocks are melted at about 1400-1600 degrees. Stone wool is obtained by turning it into fiber. Stone wool contains around 97% fiber. They are the most preferred materials as heat insulation material. Basalt, which is in the form of fiber, is pressed in different ways and produced as pipes, mattresses and plates.

Where is Stone Wool Used?

Stone wool can be used in many areas.

For the purpose of oven insulation,

In electrical appliances

In the construction of roofs

To provide insulation in steel doors

For insulation purposes on exterior facades

It can be used for wall partitioning.

Apart from these areas, it is used for different purposes. Recently, the use of stone wool in greenhouse cultivation and organic agriculture has attracted attention. The reason for this is the water retention and air intake of stone wool. The products obtained due to their properties are also of high quality. It is also used for heat saving.

Stone wool is most often used for insulation and sheathing of buildings. It is necessary to cut and shape rock wool to use it as an insulation material. ESP Engineering offers the most professional rock wool shaping solutions with Fast Wire CNC Cutting Machines.

Polyurethane is a polymer consisting of a chain of organic units joined by carbamate linkages. They are used to make flexible and rigid foams, durable elastomers and high-performance adhesives, synthetic fibers, gaskets, carpet underlays and rigid plastics.

Flexible polyurethane foams, also known as polyurethane sponges, are indispensable as comfort materials in beds and furniture. Non-flexible foams are mostly used for heat and sound insulation. Polyurethane products are often urethaneare also called. However, it should not be confused with the special urethane substance, also known as ethyl carbamate. Polyurethanes are not made from and do not contain ethyl carbamate.

Polyurethane Material in History

It was synthesized for the first time by the German scientist Otto Bayer in 1937 and was obtained by the reaction of diisocyanate with diol.

If there is water in the environment, some of the diisocyanate polymerizes with diol, while a small portion of it reacts with water and gas (carbon dioxide) output, forming a porous polyurethane structure (foam or sponge structure). At the end of the maturation period (24-72 hours), a very strong polymer structure is obtained. Later, diols were replaced by polyols with higher molecular weight, polyether or polyester structure. The polyurethane thus formed creates a stronger and more flexible elastomer.
