While EPP is usually the material of choice for applications exposed to extensive daily wear and tear, for less demanding conditions, a lower cost alternative may be desired. Sometimes a strong material is needed in a situation where the material may not necessarily be exposed to repeated wear and tear. For example, for packaging for heavy duty equipment that is going to be stored; the material must be strong, but it may not be exposed to abrasion. Here a low cost alternative to EPP like ARCEL™️ or Neo EPO is a good choice.
