InPacto® D/NL type 100D/NL, 200D/NL and 300D/NL, is expandable polystyrene (EPS), the materials have a form of white spherical polystyrene particles that contain a hydrocarbon blowing agent. Their surface is coated to support processing and to prevent electrostatic charge. The product is suitable for objects intended for direct contact with food.

APPLICATION
InPacto® 200D/NL can be expanded in conventional continuous pre-expanders using steam/air mixtures for good control of the density as well as batch expanders. The typical density range is 50 to 100 kg/m3 but other densities are possible depending on applications and equipment. The beads have been specially developed for use with high speed dry moulding equipment to produce drinking cups, bowls and containers, with wall thicknesses from 1.2 to 5.0 mm and trays (e.g. seedling trays), however can also be moulded with conventional wet moulding equipment.
