When strength, insulation, and affordability meet versatility, you get polystyrene. Whether you’re insulating buildings, packaging fragile goods, or shaping creative displays, WQ Trade’s expanded polystyrene (EPS) range offers a lightweight, cost-effective solution.

Built for performance and designed for flexibility, our polystyrene products are trusted across construction, packaging, and industrial sectors throughout South Africa.

What Are Polystyrene Products Used For?

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, closed-cell foam with a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio. It’s made by expanding polystyrene beads into molded forms or cut sheets, and it’s valued for thermal resistance, impact cushioning, and shape versatility.

WQ Trade supplies EPS in a variety of densities and formats for both commercial and residential use.

Key Features & Benefits

• Thermal Insulation: Maintains indoor temperature by reducing heat transfer.
• Lightweight Yet Strong: Easy to handle and install, with high compressive strength.
• Moisture Resistant: Ideal for construction and packaging applications.
