7. Bonding of EPS
The most important method of fixing EPS is with adhesive.
The best results are obtained with the right adhesive selection. This requires structural knowledge of the model, the part and the location where the operation is to take place (specifications).
7.1 Assembly
Joining materials with adhesive
An adhesive is a non-metallic substance capable of joining materials by bonding (adhesion) and attraction by the molecular forces of the adhesive (cohesion) without fundamentally altering the structure of the materials (figure 30 ).

...Economic data
The global EPS market totalled 3.75 million tonnes in 2004, of which 46% was used in packaging.
The breakdown of the insulation and packaging markets varies from one continent to another. These are entirely representative of building traditions (whether or not to insulate) and the importance of industries using EPS packaging. In Japan, for example, a leader in the electronics sector and the world's...
