Background
At present, the glass panels are packaged in various ways, and foam boxes and plastic trays which are manufactured by foam molding are common. Wherein, the foam case is used for panel packing owing to need not outer container, and whole bearing capacity is better, advantages such as easily retrieving are used for more and more.
Due to different characteristics of various materials, many problems are often encountered, for example, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene foam, EPS for short) is the most common, low in price and good in stiffness, but has poor impact resistance, is brittle, easy to break, poor in anti-collision performance, poor in recovery rate, easy to fall off scraps in the using process, pollutes a panel, and is unwilling to use by a high-demand customer; on the contrary, EPP (Expanded polypropylene, which is a high-crystalline polymer/gas composite material with excellent performance) has the advantages of better buffering performance, impact resistance, difficult chip falling and higher recovery rate, but the material cost is too high, and only a small amount of turnover packing materials are used at present.
In order to solve the above problems, the common methods in the industry generally adopt increasing the density of the foam box or using new materials, such as EPO (polymer emulsion), which combines the physical advantages of EPS and EPS, but the raw materials are limited and the price is very high.
In any way, the above problems cannot be completely solved, and the cost is high.
