Small Beads


For Enhanced Detail and Precision in Moulded Products

Expanded polypropylene bead foam is comprised of individual expanded beads that can range from approximately 2 mm to 6 mm or more in size before moulding, depending on the grade and density. For most moulded parts these bead sizes are appropriate.

However there are some applications where easier mould filling and surface detail requirements call for a different approach.

ARPRO® Small Beads were developed to create an end product with more precise surface features such as tighter radii and sharply defined details, as well as thinner part walls and an aesthetically pleasing surface appearance.

ARPRO® Small Beads are currently used in automotive interior components including two-shell sun visors and other parts highly visible to end users.

JSP can engineer ARPRO® Small Bead expanded polypropylene foams to meet a range of specifications. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
