EPP Helmet Description:

EPP is the abbreviation of a new type of foam material. EPP is a polypropylene plastic foam material. It is a highly crystalline polymer/gas composite with excellent properties. With its unique and superior performance, it has become the fastest-growing environmentally friendly new pressure-resistant cushioning and heat-insulating material. EPP is also an environmentally friendly material that can be recycled. Compared with EPS, EPP has higher mechanical strength, which greatly expands the application scenarios of foam plastics.

Most helmets today have liners made of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), a great shock absorbing material, but it will be permanently compressed when absorbing an impact, even a minor one. Using multi-impact EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) as core material creates a helmet that will protect your head over and over again. To date, both traditional hard shell and in-mold helmets have relied on Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) for shock absorption. EPS absorbs energy by plastic deformation on impact and results in permanent deformation. As a consequence, a helmet liner made of EPS will not be as good absorbing repetitive impacts. It would be a trend that most bike helmets will use a liner of Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) instead of the traditional EPS. The difference between the materials is that EPP does not deform permanently, which means it’s suitable for absorbing repetitive impacts.

There are many good advantages and properties we can obtain from EPP foam material:

—Nontoxic, non-caustic, no peculiar smell, environmental-friendly, 100% recyclable
EPP does not contain hydrocarbon, volatile organic components or other elements which are classified as being very harmful to the environment. And EPP is Free of heavy metal, EPP is totally nontoxic so that it can be used without extra considerations.

—Durable and lightweight
In the safety protection sectors, products made of EPP benefit from the combination of light weight and durability. In addition to these properties, this special foam lends itself quite well to the realm of sports safety protection.

—Multifunctional and flexible in formability
EPP can be molded into different kinds of shapes and forms which made it very flexible in design.

—Memory Capability and Impact Protection
Moulded EPP foam products will recover to its original shape after crash force deflection and the EPP foam will help absorb the crash forces and provide an extra layer of impact protection.

—Chemical Resistant and Heat Resistant.
Moulded EPP foam products are chemical and oil resistant, it can be easily washed, also the moulded EPP foam products has good capability of heat insulation so that it is widely used in the cold chain transporting and packaging industry.
