Global Expanded Polypropylene Industry Growth and Trends Forecast to 2031

Summary

EPP is engineered polypropylene resin, formed into small, closed-cell foam beads. Expanded polypropylene (EPP) was developed in the 1980s. This is particle foam based on polypropylene. As opposed to EPS, EPP is not impregnated with a foaming agent, meaning that subsequent foaming agent-based expansion is not possible.
