Did you know the real name for Styrofoam sheets is Expanded Polystyrene Sheets (EPS) or Polystyrene boards. Styrofoam is actually a trademarked brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) from Dupond, a US Company. Therefore, styrofoam is famously used as a colloquial term in Kenya and East Africa and we have to live with it.  Polystyrene is used in the construction, packaging and agricultural sectors for various reasons. The sheet is produced by compressing polystyrene beads to form a rigid board. Due to its advantages, the board can further be modified to perform different tasks.

For instance at Insulation Materials Kenya, we supply  styrofoam sheets in different dimensions and thicknesses. Some of the main products we produce from styrofoam sheets includes; Plain Styrofoam sheets for use in thermal and acoustic insulation, EPS 3D panels for structural walls and floor construction, sandwich panels for prefabricated houses and cold rooms. The list is endless.
