DYLITE®
DYLITE expandable polystyrene (EPS) is a leading resin in the global cup and container market. This high-performing resin is specifically designed for molding disposable products such as dual-use drinking cups, noodle bowls, takeout containers and ice cream containers.
DYLITE EPS resins offer highly consistent, extremely small and narrow bead-size distribution, allowing molders the opportunity to produce high-gloss, fast cycling products.
