Styrofoam vs Thermocol: Key Differences & Uses in the GCC

Styrofoam vs Thermocol: Key Differences & Uses in the GCC

Styrofoam is a brand name that refers to extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), a rigid, dense material different from expanded polystyrene (EPS). Styrofoam is commonly recognized in GCC markets for its role in insulation boards, packaging materials, and disposable food products. Due to its manufacturing process, Styrofoam is denser and offers better moisture resistance than EPS, making it ideal for construction and packaging solutions in hot climates.
