EPP insulation materials are a vital, though smaller, segment of the market, offering unique advantages for thermal and acoustic insulation in construction, automotive, and industrial applications. The closed-cell structure of EPP provides excellent thermal resistance, low water absorption, and outstanding durability, making it an efficient and reliable insulation solution . In Russia, companies like Penoterm have been pioneers in producing EPP insulation for buildings.

EPP insulation offers several compelling benefits. Its closed-cell structure prevents moisture ingress, maintaining its insulation properties over time and preventing mold and mildew growth. The material is also lightweight, easy to install, and can be produced in sheets, rolls, and custom shapes to fit specific applications. Penoterm, for instance, produces extruded EPP mats and rolls, using nanomasterbatches to enhance its thermal insulation characteristics . Its products are used for vibration and noise insulation in floor structures, as well as for thermal insulation in saunas and underfloor heating systems .

In the automotive sector, EPP is used for acoustic and thermal insulation in various parts of the vehicle, contributing to cabin comfort and reduced noise levels. The material's resistance to high temperatures (up to +150°C) makes it suitable for applications near the engine bay . The future of EPP insulation is linked to the growing focus on energy efficiency in buildings and the need for lightweight, durable materials in the automotive sector.
