Foamed materials such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) and expanded polypropylene (EPP) are used in many industries. What is the reason for this phenomenon? 💡 These materials have very advantageous properties that are valued in contemporary industry, regardless of the sector. First of all, they are created in the vast majority from air (more than 95%), which provides technical components made from them with extremely low weight. This, in practice, results in an easier assembly process and a definite facilitation of logistical processes 🚛. #KnaufIndustries #IndustrialSolutions #industry

Fans play a key role in many HVAC units, participating in heat transfer and air circulation. These parts of HVAC systems are, moreover, in constant use, often operating several hours a day. Under such conditions, the proper housing for them is a very crucial aspect. A material that works well as a housing for HVAC technical parts is expanded expanded polypropylene (EPP). EPP is lightweight, easy to mold and has high thermal and acoustic insulation. The use of this material in HVAC systems allows for more robust, more efficient, more lightweight and more silent appliances.

In HVAC industry expanded polypropylene (EPP) is used to create among other things, thermal ducts and various types of fittings that make up a ventilation system. EPP is an alternative to the commonly used steel ducts insulated with wool. EPP not only features very favorable thermal insulation properties, light weight and high strength, but also the freedom to design virtually any shape. All these benefits optimize the performance of HVAC appliances. The use of EPP in this case also ensures quick assembly (no additional fasteners) and easy cutting, if needed. It is not without reason that this material has gained increasing interest among HVAC manufacturers in recent years. #KnaufIndustries #IndustrialSolutions #hvac #hvacsystems #industry #ducts #fittings

Expanded polypropylene foam (EPP) is increasingly being used by manufacturers in the HVAC industry. What are the advantages behind it? 💡 🔸 high tightness, 🔸 low weight, 🔸 favorable thermal Insulation, 🔸 effective acoustic insulation, 🔸 shock resistance (energy absorption), 🔸 water resistance, 🔸 chemical resistance and high resistance to concentrated or diluted acids or alcohols. #KnaufIndustries #HVAC #EPP

At Knauf Industries, we not only produce foam components, but also those manufactured by injection molding technology. One of the materials used in thermoplastic injection molding technology is polycarbonate (PC), which is widely used in industry, and its main advantage is its excellent mechanical properties. The advantages of Polycarbonate also include: - resistance to moisture and low temperatures, - lightness, - rigidity, - resistance to UV. Examples of the use of PC include construction and covers for consumer electronics products or computers. In the automotive sector it is used in the manufacture of headlights or windows. #KnaufIndustries #IndustrialSolutions #industry #plastics #plasticsprocessing

Expanded polypropylene (EPP) is an increasingly valued material in the industrial world, as evidenced by its use in many sectors. First and foremost, EPP is lightweight and durable, which, for example, makes equipment lightweight and efficient at the same time by its application. The advantage we would like to give more consideration this time, however, is the ability to form practically any shape. Products made from expanded polypropylene are created by molding technology. As a result, EPP parts can be tailored to specific requirements and needs - according to customer demand for a specific project. The graphic shows an example application of EPP in the packaging industry. At Knauf Industries, we design and manufacture customized rotational packaging that is tailored perfectly for specific products. #KnaufIndustries #IndustrialSolutions #industry #epp #packaging #molding #foams

Expanded polypropylene (EPP), as a result of the fact that it consists of up to 95% air and thanks to its cellular structure, offers to obtain practically any shape at the design stage. The material is used in many industries, especially in the form of technical components, fittings or packaging. An example application is visualized in the posted graphic.

The use of expanded polypropylene (EPP) in the sports and leisure sector is widespread due to its unique properties such as lightness, durability, flexibility and ability to absorb energy. EPP as a material is commonly used to manufacture protective helmets for various sports, protectors and shields, swimming board components, exercise mats and many other sports accessories. The property of expanded polypropylene to absorb and dissipate energy during impact reduces the force transmitted to the user, thus minimizing the risk of injury. As a result, the material has a significant impact on the most important aspect (not only in sports) - safety. #KnaufIndustries #IndustrialSolutions #industry #safety #epp

Case Study with ALNOR Ventilation Systems on innovative solutions for ventilation systems 💡 One of the major trends in the HVAC industry today is the replacement of metal parts with lighter equivalents. Working with Alnor, Knauf Industries engineers were faced with the task of designing expanded polypropylene (EPP) components to replace metal parts that have design limitations. Explore the Case Study, which describes how the HVAC company increased the efficiency of its ventilation systems using EPP ❗ #KnaufIndustries #InudstrialSolutions #hvac #industry #ventilation #ventilationsystems

Industrial insulation plays a very important role in the context of the overall operation of many types of industrial equipment. The key in industry, regardless of the sector, is to protect individual components from the adverse effects of external conditions. At Knauf Industries, we manufacture insulation from foamed plastics such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) and expanded polypropylene (EPP). These materials are able to both provide adequate strength and thermal insulation, thus being durable. Due to these properties, EPS and EPS are increasingly successfully replacing conventional materials, against which they are often distinguished by their more attractive price while offering comparable or better performance. #KnaufIndustries #IndustrialSolutions #industry #foams #foamedmaterials
