Expandable Polystyrene EPS News
Durability and application of expanded polystyrene
EPS is chemically stable in water and soil and cannot be broken down by microorganisms. The cavity structure of the EPS also makes the infiltration of water extremely slow. When exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time, the EPS surface changes from white to yellow, and the material appears brittle to some extent. EPS is stable in most solvents, but soluble in organic solvents such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, toluene, and acetone. This shows that the EPS filler requires a good protective layer.
As an ultra-light roadbed filler, expanded polystyrene has a wide range of applications abroad. Practice has proved that EPS has good performances such as good heat insulation, light weight and strong self-reliance. It has a good treatment effect on solving roadbed freezing damage, bridgehead jumping, roadbed instability, new and old roadbed splicing and other issues. However, due to the short time in the construction of embankments using EPS in China, there is a lack of in-depth and comprehensive research on the performance of EPS itself.
