Electronics and optical packaging made of EPP foam:
The high level of recovery properties virtually predestines EPP for use in the electronics packaging industry, EPP lends itself to the protection of sensitive electrical components and devices or as containers and carriers for transport. Tailor designed EPP boxes, EPP trays and EPP pallets can be reused for years and can be transported in an easy and environmentally friendly manner.
For the transport packaging of conductive strips, PCB modules, LCD panels, photograph optical glasses etc, which require high demand for anti-static environment situation, they are also anti-static EPP material available.To meet the market demands, these products can be made with various types of conductive surfaces.
Medical and pharmaceutical packaging made of EPP foam:
In the pharmaceutical and medical industry, EPP has been approved to be a good packaging solution to protect medical devices, instruments, vials and other sensitive, fragile components.Products such as medicines, prostheses and hygienic products place particularly high demands on packaging, for sterility, protection, temperature-control and security which can be met by EPP. The custom-molded EPP packaging provides both thermal management and protection when shipping lifesaving products such as medicines, organs, test serums and live tissue.
What's more, EPP also works well as an interior chassis for some medical devices and equipment.A key benefit of EPP is that it can be molded into complex shapes without losing its resiliency. Components such as tubes, pumps, circuit boards, fans, and power supplies are simply snapped into various channels and cavities that are molded into the EPP chassis.Then the EPP foam serves as a mechanism to assemble the medical device.Using molded EPP foam to create a chassis that holds the components securely in place offers significant benefits to medical manufacturers that are willing to change their approach to medical product design.
EPP Packaging
EPP has excellent shock resistance and very good resilience. Especially for packaging and containers made of EPP, this means a high added value through reusability. In addition, EPP has a high temperature and chemical resistance. EPP containers and EPP packaging are also approved for direct contact with food. Like Styrofoam and other particle foams, EPP is also 100% recyclable.
EPP packaging and boxes offer particularly high protection for sensitive goods due to their excellent impact resistance. At the same time, EPP has a very good resilience and can therefore be reused several times without any problems even during high demanding transport.
Robust packaging is required for the transport of high-quality and sensitive electronic equipment. EPP packaging can be reused several times due to its high structural strength. EPP packaging with its high structural strength and energy absorption has become established. Expandable polypropylene (EPP) can be moulded into almost any conceivable shape. They are also many different colors available in EPP.
The properties of an ideal packaging material include:
--light weight,
--robust, shock-resistant material,
--reliable protection of the transported goods,
--best environmental compatibility and recyclability,
--noiseless material that is easy to clean,
--excellent insulating properties.
There are products which must not be exposed to any kind of moving, risk of scratching and toppling one over another when packed together. Such products are usually various tools and instruments packed in toolboxes or automotive/ electronics parts which need to be delivered safely to the assembly lines. There are various solutions to keep them tightly packed in a box or container, but the most efficient one is EPP packaging.
