Applications

 

Foam

Polystyrene (PS), Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (PE) foams are used in applications ranging from protection to food packaging and transportation.

Gloucester was the first company to develop the extrusion technology that made possible the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) for meat, produce trays and prepared food packages.

As the use of this versatile material has expanded into products such as loose fill packaging, construction tiles, interlayers for produce and shipping containers, Gloucester has not only kept pace but led the way with advances in production technology that maximize volume, quality and profitability.
