Expanded polystyrene panels EPAN

Expanded polystyrene panels EPAN

EPAN panels are ZENTYSS trademark of fireproof insulating panels of expanded polystyrene, produced by ZENTYSS on its own production lines.

PROCESS

EPAN panels production is based on the physical expansion of polystyrene granules, under the action of an expanding agent (pentane) under the action of steam and high temperatures. Expansion process parameters such as pressure, steam temperature and maintenance time are permanently controled.

Fireproof expanded polystyrene panels production has more phases: pre-expansion, maturation, blocks formation and maturation, cutting and packaging.

Strict control of production parameters in all phases, leads to higher and durable technical characteristics of EPAN fireproof expanded polystyrene panels.

Density control is made automatically from pre-expanding phase - the pre-expander is equipped with volumetric and gravitymetric measurement system.

APPLICATIONS

EPAN panels are used in thermal insulation for:

  • roofs;
  • suspended ceilings;
  • interior walls;
  • exterior walls;
  • basement walls;
  • civil buildings facades.
