Polystyrene or EPS Geofoam or popularly known as Styrofoam is one of the widely used plastic packaging material for food items, electronic products, electrical appliances furniture etc due to its excellent insulating and protective features. We offer EPS geofoam blocks landscaping as requested by our customers in the most efficient way available to us, that is through landfilling.
Geofoam is extended polystyrene (EPS) or expelled polystyrene (XPS) that is created into large light weight block. These bricks are typically offered in sizes of 2 m x 0. × 0. 75 m × 0. :dance width – 75 m (6. 6ft × 2. 5ft × 2. 5ft). EPS Geofoam is a high-quality EPS fill material used ideal for civil engineers and commercial structures development. This may be because of its high strength to weight ratio and therefore used as support structures to bear heavy loads and reduce the stress of underlying soils that are useful to stabilize roads and other slopes, bridge abutments and also used to protect pipe work below ground. It is also very versatile, being able to be used in quick, east cost saving ways for solid concrete work or weight loss on foundations. Its uses are endless.
EPS Geofoam Manufacturer in India
Snowpack Polymers India is India's largest manufacturer and supplier of EPS Geofoam for landfilling. This geotechnical product is utilized in ground fill applications. Geofoam is produced as blocks of EPS beads that have been expanded and bonded together under heat and pressure to generate a high-performance construction material with a unique set of structural qualities such as:
1. EPS Geofoam Blocks for landfilling has ability to enhance the stability of road embankment, if properly designed.
2. The result which is obtained by placing an interlocking stack of EPS Geofoam Blocks on a slide slope can immensely ensure lesser horizontal movement and the least possible vertical loads.
3. Fix EPS Geofoam Blocks behind retaining walls, bridge abutments or foundation walls to cut down lateral stress on the structure by a huge measure.
4. EPS Geofoam Blocks will save you time and money by eliminating the need to build a new wall with less conventional materials such as stones.
5. Control of water absorption (The extent of leaching problems that have been experienced in structures was substantially reduced)
6. Insect, bacterial, and fungal resistant some types are even considered to be ‘rot-resistant’.
7. It is safe, and it doesn’t require much effort to manage.
The physical properties of Geofoam are equally effective in any direction and this marks it as a special product since not many other products possess this. This superior characteristic contributes to the durability as well as performance and life expectancy of Geofoam and which has prompted more civil engineers and construction specifiers to use Geofoam due to its performance and cost benefits.
Use of EPS Geofoam such as building construction, void landfilling, Infill for indoor swimming pool, landfills, bridges, green roofs, road construction, Noise & vibration control, and others. Snowpack Polymers is an organisation that has been based in Faridabad India and was established in 1997.
