Description

This refers to industrial activities involving the manufacture of foamed molded products by injecting hydrocarbon gases, etc., into polystyrene resin in its raw material state and then expanding it with steam. Foamed polystyrene products are widely used in cups, bowls, plates, packaging containers, shipping packaging materials, construction materials, and boxes for agricultural and fishery products due to their excellent water resistance, thermal insulation, soundproofing, and cushioning properties. It also includes cases where foamed raw materials are purchased to manufacture molded products.

Example activities

• manufacturing of styrofoam
• manufacturing of shaped styrofoam products
• manufacturing of eps (expanded polystyrene) molded products
• manufacturing of eps ice boxes and buoys
