In our daily lives, outdoor camping, food stalls, fishing, and takeaway delivery require thermal insulation boxes. When choosing thermal insulation boxes of what materials, EPP recyclable thermal insulation boxes are the most suitable. The use of environmentally friendly and recyclable materials is slowly becoming popular. The deterioration of our ecological environment is gradually showing with the development of industry, and environmentally friendly materials are bound to develop.
According to statistics, in 2016, SF Express cold transport EPP recyclable thermal insulation boxes were put into batches in total of 120,000, and the cumulative number of uses was 1.57 million times. If converted into EPS foam boxes of the same size and density of 25kg/m3 = 1.57 million foam boxes + 1.57 million cartons + 3.14 million ice packs, the packaging material cost can be saved by about 20.45 million yuan, and the carbon emission can be saved by 720,000 kilograms, which is equivalent to cutting down 9,100 trees less. At the same time, each EPP thermal insulation box can be reused more than 250 times.
EPP recyclable thermal insulation box is a foaming bead made of polypropylene as raw material and physical foaming technology. The foam beads are highly crystalline, consisting of two phases, solid and gas, and generally have a diameter between 2-7 mm. The outer wall of the EPP beads is closed and the interior is filled with gas. Usually, its solid phase component accounts for only 2%-10% of the total weight, and the rest is gas. The intrinsic material properties and special structural design of EPP foam materials lead to its excellent performance.
EPP reusable insulation box has high heat resistance and is very suitable for insulation. This material is often used in the food industry to keep food and beverages in the best condition. EPP foam can keep most products at a stable temperature between -40 and +60 °С for a long time. In addition, antimicrobial agents can be sprayed on the surface of EPP foam beads to give EPP foam antimicrobial properties, prevent microbial growth, and serve as a sterile medium for safe food packaging.
EPP reusable insulation box has good water resistance. Even under high humidity conditions, the material can maintain its mechanical properties and ensure optimal water barrier. EPP foam beads are impermeable and can hardly be penetrated by other liquids and chemicals. Since EPP foam is both waterproof and non-toxic, it is very suitable for isolating drinking water tanks.
EPP recyclable insulated boxes are very light, which reduces the burden and transportation costs for transportation. It is very durable, which helps industrial products to be durable and worth the money. It can also absorb the energy generated by impact and is used to create a safer working environment. EPP insulated boxes are very strong and can withstand a lot of pressure.
In addition, EPP is also used to create a series of consumer products. For example: epp beds, model airplanes, packaging boxes, insoles, surfboards, etc. In summary, epp recyclable insulated boxes are of vital value and significance to the realization of a green and low-carbon economy. The many excellent properties of epp materials make it widely used in all walks of life.
