What is epp

In addition to the cost effective production of EPP, the use of foams in a wide range of industries also helps to conserve resources. As a rule of thumb, less than 10 per cent of the material, which is required in the production of compact material, is needed to produce expanded polypropylene foam. And that’s not all: As a raw material, EPP also stands out thanks to other positive properties.

The appearance of epp in history

EPP was originally developed by JSP in the 1970s as a result of research into new forms of polypropylene, and the material was first applied to automotive products in Japan in 1982. Since then, demand for EPP has increased dramatically around the world, in part due to the need for automakers to improve energy management features while reducing weight and improving environmental benefits.

The first automotive application for EPP was for energy absorbing components in bumper systems. Today, EPP is used in a wide range of other automotive components and systems, including seats and other interior components. in 2008, the global market for polypropylene was 45.1 million tons, with a turnover of about $65 billion.
