Preliminary Information on Manufacturing, Processing ...
· Processing of HBCD in Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) EPS is a rigid insulation produced by expansion and molding of expandable polystyrene resin beads. To manufacture EPS, first a polystyrene resin is produced via suspension polymerization by chemical manufacturers. HBCD and a blowing agent, usually pentane, are added to the resin during the
