Applications
Extir is Eni Versalis commercial brand for EPS & EPS MC products, which are widely used for applications in construction (commonly thermal insulation) and packaging.
Extir. EPS & EPS-MC for packaging
Expandable polystyrene (EPS) can solve most of the most common problems involving packaging:
- Containment: EPS is easily molded in all shapes
- Protection: EPS has good impact resistance
- Insulation: EPS provides thermal insulating for cold and warm applications
- Transportability: EPS has a light weight
- Environment care: EPS is 100% recyclable
Extir. EPS & EPS-MC for Building
Versalis is a reference brand in the European market among the products of EPS for building due to the certified quality and technical excellence of their products.
The most common choice in Europe for thermal insulation is EPS, because of its environmental and economic sustainability. In fact, EPS is made of 98% air and due to its closed cell structure and light weight, easy installation, durability and versatility it allows to achieve the best living comfort in every situation.
Versalis has been well known for years in this sector thanks to its Extir® and Extir® CM brand EPS grades. Their growing experience in thermal insulation has allowed them to develop new grades, optimized for each application.
