Advantages of Using Thermocol Products There are various advantages of using thermocol products. Some of them are listed below:- Can be effectively used for packaging sensitive and breakable items. Thermocol sheets and covers are used for packaging in several industuries like electronics, electrical, utensils, glasses etc. Thermal Effeciency - Also protects the items packed in it from weathering effects Very lighter & easier to transport Very easy to store, handle & fix Has shock absorption ability Has natural defence against moisture penetration Applications of Thermocol (EPS) Thermocol (EPS) is one of the most cost-effective protective packaging materials available and is used all over the world to protect goods from transit damage. It possesses an extraordinary combination of lightness, rigidity and shock absorption and can be moulded to virtually any shape desired. Thermocol (EPS) is also used widely for low temperature thermal insulation because of its low thermal conductivity and closed cell structure (most other thermal insulation materials have open cell structures which make them vulnerable to moisture penetration). Because Thermocol EPS has no taste or odour and does not harbour fungi, it is used extensively in the packaging of pharmaceutical products, such as vaccines, where stringent temperature ranges are required to be maintained. Thermocol (EPS) is also used to make internal components for the air-conditioning and refrigeration industries. Earlier, these parts were made by gluing insulation materials on to a metal sheet but they have been now replaced by Thermocol (EPS) because it possesses both rigidity and the required insulation properties, and can be moulded in one piece. Thermocol (EPS) is now widely used for the packaging of agricultural products in India and various countries. Fruits such as grapes, pomegranates, papayas, mangoes and many others, and various types of vegetables, are conveniently packed and stored in Thermocol (EPS) containe
