expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam is a bead foam used in automotives and industrial packaging applications. They exhibit unique properties such as thermal insulation, excellent energy absorption, chemical and water resistance, impact resistance etc. EPP foams are used extensively in industrial packaging due to its cushioning capability and its flexibility provides excellent protection to complex shapes. EPP foams are available in different densities called high density EPP grade and low density EPP grade depending on the application. High density grade EPP foams exhibit excellent strength and reduced weight property and are used in applications where energy management is a critical parameter. Hence, they are used in automotive applications such as passenger safety parts and automotive bumpers. Low density EPP grades are used in industrial packaging applications and medium density EPP grades are used in consumer products and furniture.

Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) Foam Market: Drivers and Restraints

The rising awareness of environmental concerns and increasing demand for fuel efficient and light weight cars is the major driver for the growth of global EPP foam market. There is an increase in production and consumption of automotives across the globe, which is expected to boost the global EPP foam market growth. The recyclable and light weight properties of EPP foam has enabled its application in wide range of industries such as packaging, aerospace, automotives etc. The excellent strength and light weight along with enhanced absorption properties has facilitated its use in automotive crash prone parts. The use of high density EPP foam in heavy industrial packaging is expected to drive the growth of global EPP foam market.
