EPS

I was wondering what the difference was between expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene was. also is there such a thing as “unmolded eps” blanks? One more curiosity, When referring to 2lb eps, what does the 2lb mean? thanks for any help!

2lb EPS refers to the density of the foam which is 2lbs per cubic foot.

alright thanks! two pounds of what though? pressure?

Hi Mz,

EPS = Expanded Polystyrene

XPS = Extruded Polystyrene
