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.
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.
