http://www.EPSFoamPro.com Neil Hanekom 904-477-1982 Description: EPS Geofoam is a lightweight, geo-synthetic fill material that consists of closed-cell expanded polystyrene (EPS) and meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM D6817. Geofoam is manufactured in a common density range between 1 to 3 lb/ft3 and is an ideal, lightweight fill alternative for many construction applications. Definition for Geofoam taken From www.insulfoam.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=56 The Right Way to Spell the Word: Expanded Polystyrene ESP Geofoam, EPS Geofoam, Geofoam, Geo-foam, and Geo Foam. Geofoam or EPS Geofoam are the two ways that are correct. Where Does The Word Geofoam Come From? The University of Syracuse has a Geofoam research department that came up with the term Geofoam. All it really does is describe the fact that the foam will be used under the ground. Geo, for ground, and foam, for... foam. You get the point. It is a very simple idea, but it works every time. Uses: Geofoam is commonly used in areas where unstable soil conditions exist and as an alternative to various fill materials. The unique load disbursement and lightweight characteristics of Geofoam help to minimize any post-construction settling. Geofoam is also used as backfill to reduce lateral earth pressure behind adjacent structures such as retaining walls.

http://www.EPSFoamPro.com Neil Hanekom 904-477-1982 If you are reading this you probably know a little bit about EPS foam and the different products that come from it. The fact is that you can know all about the product but then you have to find out where to get it. Over the last two years I put together a list of EPS manufacturers, their names, phone numbers, and website addresses. Ive also contacted about 95% of them and made some good contacts. If you are anywhere in the US and need a EPS manufacturer, I can help you find the closest one. Neil Hanekom

http://www.EPSFoamPro.com Neil Hanekom 904-477-1982 EPS foam can support 48-55 lbs. per cubic foot, which is significantly more than typical wood floatation devices. Since EPS is lightweight and easy to work with, installation and maintenance costs are low. EPS Foam SIZE Net Buoyancy 24x48x12 = 380 lbs. 24x48x18 = 590 lbs. 36x48x12= 590 lbs. 36x48x18= 870 lbs. 36x48x25= 1,280 lbs. 48x48x18= 1,260 lbs.

http://www.EPSFoamPro.com Neil Hanekom 904-477-1982 Basically HD foam stands for High Density Foam. EPS Foam in Manufactured in Many Different Densities, and some EPS manufacturers produce their foam in 1 pound, 1.25, 1.5, 2 and 3 pound densities. If you place one cubic foot of EPS foam on a scale and it weighs 1 pound, then it is considered to be one pound density. If you weigh one cubic foot of EPS foam and it weighs 2 pounds then it is considered 2 pound density, and so on. Watch the rest of the video to find out more about HD EPS Foam. Neil

http://www.EPSFoamPro.com Neil Hanekom 904-477-1982 Introduction Expanded polystyrene (EPS) can be used for a variety of floatation devices, such as rafts, docks and billets. Buoyancy billets are usually produced in standard sizes but can be easily customized. They are suitable for fresh and salt water and are unaffected by winter temperatures. EPS billets can support 55 lbs. per cubic foot, which is significantly more than typical wood floatation devices. Since EPS is lightweight and easy to work with, installation and maintenance costs are low. EPS buoyancy systems are safe for the environment. They are ozone friendly, no CFCs are used in their production, and they have no food value for marine animals. Growth of marine life in stagnant water does not impa ir the buoyancy of the billet and can be easily removed with a scraper. EPS floatation structures exhibit excellent rebound characteristics with minimum rocking, provide less resistance to breaking waves and are quieter than those with other types of floatation such as drum floats. Floatation: In summer months, it is not unusual to find the nearest watering hole filled with people escaping the heat and enjoying the water as well as sights and sounds. Many water-related activities are made safer with the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) from floating docks to life-saving devices and buoys to surf and boogie boards. Whether you recognize it or not, EPS is everywhere on the waterfront.

http://www.EPSFoamPro.com Neil Hanekom 904-477-1982 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 904-477-1982 end_of_the_skype_highlighting What is EPS Foam? EPS is short for Expanded Polystyrene. Basically, you take a polystyrene resin and combine it with some heat and steam to expand the bead to a certain point. Then you let the expanded beads sit overnight to release the blowing agent used in the bead that makes it expand. The next day you take the beads and put it into a mold and combine them with heat, steam and pressure. The beads then expand and fuse into one another to make a solid block. Because of the steam used in the block most manufacturers allow the blocks to sit and dry/cure for up to two weeks. Some manufacturers have dry rooms where they put the blocks to dry. Because the dry rooms have high temperatures the blocks can dry much faster and be used 1 or 2 days. Other thing that most people dont realize is that the blocks that come out of the molds are sometimes 24 feet log so they have to placed vertical. If you dont put the blocks vertical then they will bow and your will able to use less of the block. Neil Hanekom

http://www.EPSFoamPro.com Neil Hanekom 904-477-1982 Is Expanded Polystyrene EPS STYROFOAM™ Foam the Same? Sometimes, people are looking for expanded polystyrene foam products, but mistakenly refer to them as STYROFOAM, even though the materials are different. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Most common foam products, like coolers, wine shippers, molded end caps and corners, box packaging and even cups at the office water cooler are actually polystyrene foam. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is the generic industry name for the white rigid material made by expanding polystyrene beads with steam and pressure to bond the beads together to form blocks or to shape molds. EPS is also used in the construction industry for insulation and void fill. STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam for Construction STYROFOAM is a registered trademark of the Dow Chemical Company (Dow) or an affiliated company of Dow. This trademark covers a full range of extruded polystyrene building products used primarily in construction for wall insulation, floor insulation, and roof insulation systems. These insulation panels are commonly referred to as blue board in the construction industry. Most often the word Styrofoam is generically used to describe expanded polystyrene foam products like disposable coffee cups, cooler and other foam packaging materials, none of which are actually STYROFOAM.
