What is EPS?
Expandable polystyrene; foamed into lightweight, closed-cell foams with good thermal insulation and protective performance.
Where is EPS used?
Insulation boards for construction applications and protective or transport packaging.

What makes EPS distinctive?
EPS combines very good insulation performance with low weight. Price series help place developments in construction and packaging in a traceable context.
Material and price logic
EPS foams into lightweight, insulating mouldings. Demand from construction and packaging shapes price formation.
- Insulation foam: closed-cell, lightweight, and thermally insulating.
- Trade types: contract prices form the price basis for planning and calculation.
- Construction and packaging relevance: tied to building activity and protective packaging demand.
Market relevance
EPS prices are relevant to companies that purchase insulation and packaging materials, cost them or have to account for them in price negotiations.
- Procurement: teams can factor price movements into their purchasing plans at an early stage.
- Pricing: price series support structured discussions on material costs and price adjustment mechanisms.
- Controlling: price histories help document cost assumptions in a traceable way.
Analysis in pricenxt
In pricenxt, EPS price data can be evaluated in a structured way using configurable filters, interactive charts, and boards.
- Variant comparison: different price series can be set against one another in a single chart.
- Period analysis: you choose the observation period freely and add trend lines or regressions.
- Saving to boards: relevant analyses can be saved as a card on a board and shared.
