Guidelines and safety precautions

Due to vaporisation of the blowing agent contained in SCONAPOR™ EPS flammable solvent-air mixtures can form even at room temperature. For safe processing it is therefore recommended to ventilate storage and workrooms well, preferably at ground level. For storage and interim storage silos a dedicated ventilation system is recommended. Open flames, sparks and other sources of flames and heat must be kept well away from rooms used for processing, handling and storage. The ban on smoking must be strictly adhered to.

For example, friction in conveying ducts can cause EPS raw beads, prefoamed particles and completed parts to become electrostatically charged. Sparks resulting from possible discharge must be avoided using suitable measures.
