Low Pentane EPS Beads (REACH / IED Compliant) — eps raw materials by ChinaEps, REACH & IED Compatible certified.

Low pentane EPS beads — engineered with 4.5-5.5 percent pentane blowing agent (versus 6.2-7.5 percent on standard grades) to meet EU REACH / Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) low-VOC requirements. Critical for high-rise residential interior insulation, cold chain warehouses with strict indoor air quality limits, and customers facing local IED / OSHA emission regulations. Lower blowing agent means tighter density range 16-33 g/L (5 sizes L-301 to L-501) but enables IBC freight class B vs A (lower hazmat surcharge on international shipping). Optional F flame-retardant variant with Oxygen Index ≥30. Sourced from European-equivalent Asian producers with REACH dossier on file.
