Product details

CIRCULUM® Special grades

Tailored EPS grades engineered for specific technical needs and stable performance.

Overview

Specialty grades play an important role in everyday applications - from shock absorption in helmets and car components to filtration in water treatment. We also offer EPS solutions for high-temperature applications, such as air conditioning systems and boiler casings. In addition, our coloured EPS enables custom applications in a wide range of colours, shapes, and designs. We work closely with you to develop tailored solutions, from concept to delivery.

Applications — CIRCULUM® Special grades

Lower environmental impact Shape moulding

A material built to circulate

Circulum® grades are engineered to move through many lifecycles. Produced from expandable polystyrene that becomes 98% air during expansion, the material uses resources efficiently while delivering reliable insulation, protection, and formability. It can be recycled repeatedly and adapted to diverse applications, supporting a circular economy through practical, scalable material behaviour.
