Pw 6358 M Ach Foam

DuraTherm is a state-of-the-art, shape-molded, EPS container said to cushion, absorb shocks, and insulate better than packaging alternatives such as corrugated cardboard or molded pulp. EPS manufacturing is said to use little energy and create little pollution, and scrap EPS generated during manufacturing is ground and incorporated into new EPS products.
