The Polystyrene Foam Market report investigates the effect of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on the polystyrene foam industry. Since December 2020, the World Health Organization has announced that COVID-19 infection has spread to more than 180 countries around the world, which is a general wellbeing crisis. The worldwide effects of the Covid infection (COVID-19) are now beginning to be felt and will fundamentally affect the future Foam Market.
The polystyrene foam is mainly made of polystyrene resin, adding the foaming agent, crosslinking agent, and other additives. it is the most used cushioning material. It has a small density, generally 0.015～0.03. Polystyrene foam is widely used in cushioning packaging of various precision instruments, meters, household appliances, etc. It can also be directly made into packaging containers such as cups, plates, boxes, etc. Therefore, foam became the most important material for some industries, especially for the food industry. Since in-house restaurant service has been restricted because of the pandemic, restaurants are turning to take-out service. Accordingly, the demand for takeout containers went up. Due to the increase in takeout food delivery, the amount of foam waste has increased, so foam recycling is very necessary.
Only equipped with foam recycling equipment, the accumulation of food boxes can be easily solved. INTCO is a specialist of foam recycling equipment. INTCO manufactures and sells GREENMAX foam Densifiers. There are three types of foam densifiers including M-C50/M-C100/M-C200/M-C300.
The working principle of densifier is to crush the foam first, and then squeeze the foam through the screw so that the foam is melted in the screw, extruded through the discharge port, and formed to reduce the volume and facilitate granulation. It is mainly used for Styrofoam/EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), PE foam (Expandable Polyethylene), XPS (Extruded Polystyrene), EPP (Expanded Polypropylene). It can not only solve environmental problems but also safeguard the interests of the foam-related industry.
