Styropor® KF462M

Styropor® KF462M by BASF is a general purpose, flame retardant, expandable polystyrene (EPS) grade which contains pentane as a blowing agent. Exhibits low weight, good shock absorption, good thermal conductivity and narrow apparent density distribution. Offers excellent thermal insulation capacity, high compressive strength, outstanding impact absorption and moisture resistance. Designed for processing by foams in pre-expansion, intermediate storage and expansion stages. During the pre-expansion stage, the compact raw material is transformed into closed-cell foam which is characterized by low energy consumption and short cycle times. After an appropriate intermediate storage time, EPS is expanded in conventional block molds to make foams. Styropor® KF462M is recommended for construction, insulating materials, packaging and consumer applications. Complies with flame ratings in conformity with DIN 4102–B2, KSM 3808 (Korean standard) and UL 94 regulations.
