Eperan™
EPERAN | CROSSLINK | POLYETHYLENE
 The market that
too often demands the superlative - more, greater, bigger,
faster - increasingly asks for less. EPERAN™ plank products,
used to create everything from automobile parts to sports
equipment, offer the fabricator and designer decidedly
less - less cost, less space and less weight. EPERAN™ products effectively reduce cushioning dimensions, which
makes excessive damage protection unnecessary and results
in lower shipping costs. Most jobs that call for plank
material require less EPERAN™ than other comparable products.
EPERAN™ brand
products represent a complete product line of polyethylene
and polypropylene molded plank form. Use EPERAN™ plank
to design your product for higher quality, better cushioning
and lower costs.
Environmentally
Friendly
EPERAN™ products are reusable and recyclable. Environmentally friendly
EPERAN™ brand products are produced with a non-CFC, non-HCFC
blowing agent that is fully recaptured. These products contain
no ozone depleting materials and do not produce a flammable
atmosphere in shipping, storage or use.
Product Forms
and Sizes
EPERAN™ brand products are available in polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene
(PE) forms in various densities, thicknesses and plank sizes. EPERAN™ PP
can be found in densities of 1.3, 1.9, and 2.8 pounds per cubic foot (PCF). Similarly,
EPERAN™PE is available in densities of 1.5, 1.9, and 2.8 PCF. Both EPERAN™ PE
and EPERAN™PP plank are available in black or white. In addition, EPERAN™ PE
offers a white anti-static grade.
EPERAN™ ADVANTAGES
- Higher static loading limits
- Exceptional elasticity, resilience and impact
strength
- Superior surface protection and abrasion
resistance
- Greater compressive strength
- Good dimensional stability and thermal properties
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Very good moisture and weather resistance
- Easy to fabricate into various shapes and
sizes, including self hinges
- Excellent multi-directional energy absorption
Abrasion
Resistance and Superior Protection
 EPERAN™ plank is a soft, elastic, semi-rigid foam that will not
scratch the surface of even the most delicate materials.
The planks' impact strength, resilience and energy absorption
properties provide superior protection, with no directional
restrictions. As an example, EPERAN PE is used in the
automotive industry to protect "class A" finished goods.
While
EPERAN™ brand products are gentle to the items they protect,
they are also tough and resilient to a variety of environmental
hazards - including heat, water and a wide range of chemicals.
EPERAN™ products exhibit good heat insulation properties
and maintain excellent dimensional stability and temperature
resistance. In addition, the planks' closed cell composition
provides superior moisture and chemical resistance.
The Material
with Many Uses
EPERAN™ brand products are highly versatile. The military
find EPERAN™ plank useful for packaging delicate optics,
missile heads and other sensitive electronic equipment
because of its fine cushioning and dimensional stability,
and because there is no potential for flammable off-gassing,
EPERAN™ plank products are also used as packaging
for computers and electronics and come in and anti-static
grade to protect sensitive electronics.
Uses for EPERAN™ products continue to grow with applications in a variety
of industries. The possibilities are as vast as the imagination:
- Returnable,
collapsible totes used by the automotive industry to
facilitate material handling and protect delicate parts
and finishes
- Electronics,
in the form of returnable and statically dissipative
containers
- Hot food
storage containers
- Toys and
floral inserts
- Sports-padding
in treadmills and helmets, bumper pads for boats and
loading docks, seating in boats, campers and outdoor
stadium seats
- Recreational
applications such as personal water craft, kayaks and
various flotation devices
