		Shape moulding Eperan-PP and Eperan can be easily made into complex shapes using established steam chest moulding techniques.

		Multi-impact When subjected to shock, as a result of being dropped, or to vibration in transit, Eperan-PP and Eperan can easily absorb stress and will not break or deform in normal use.

		Energy absorption Eperan-PP and Eperan have outstanding cushioning and energy absorption properties and can therefore offer excellent solutions in the field of safety and protection for the automotive and other industries.

		Flexibility and resilience Eperan-PP and Eperan demonstrate outstanding elasticity and strain recovery properties, allowing the foam parts to return to their original shape even after severe bending or compression.

		Structural strength Eperan-PP and Eperan have high load characteristics and strength, high temperature resistance and excellent creep characteristics, even at low densities.

		Durability Eperan-PP and Eperan have excellent impact strength, strain recovery and flexibility. Also they have superior resistance to UV radiation, abrasion and other physical and environmental wear and tear.

		Lightweight Due to their outstanding cushioning properties, Eperan-PP and Eperan can provide outstanding results with a minimum of volume and weight, thus being more cost effective to transport, store or in overall weight reduction.

		Buoyancy Thanks to the closed-cell structure, Eperan-PP and Eperan have a superior long-term floatation capability, and they are not affected by lengthy exposure to either fresh or salt water.

		Thermal properties Being closed-cell foams, Eperan-PP and Eperan have excellent insulation properties and thermo-stability.

		Chemical resistance Eperan-PP and Eperan show little or no degradation when exposed to various oils and chemicals and have excellent weather and moisture resistance.

		Multi-grade moulding Kaneka has developed a very cost-effective patented technology allowing the moulding of multiple grades in one and the same part, in order to meet specific requirements for the automotive and returnable container businesses.

		Recyclability Eperan-PP and Eperan consist solely of easily recyclable polypropylene and polyethylene. /td>
