Descriptions

Polystyrene is made by polymerising styrene, which is produced by combining benzene and ethylene. The polystyrene thus produced is one of the thermoplastic materials sometimes called linear polymers. These are materials that soften on the application of heat and harden as they cool. The expanded foam (known EPS) is used in various built environment applications.

Sagex has more than 50 years experience in the manufacture of EPS and introduced the product into the South African market.
