Edilteco returns to K 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for plastics and rubber, reaffirming its role as a key player in the industrial transformation of expanded polystyrene (EPS) for the building sector. With over 40 years of research, development, and global partnerships, Edilteco has established itself as a technological benchmark in the production of thermal insulation materials using EPS. Its presence at K 2025 highlights a unique industrial offering: complete production systems for manufacturing high-performance, lightweight insulating products on a global scale.

A Fully Integrated Industrial Approach

Edilteco designs and constructs complete industrial plants for EPS processing, providing end-to-end solutions that cover the entire production cycle — from raw EPS expansion to the coating, mixing, and packaging of insulation compounds. This integrated system ensures absolute control over output quality, manufacturing efficiency, and adaptability to different regional market requirements.

Exclusive Technology: The E.I.A. Additive

A cornerstone of Edilteco’s process is the patented E.I.A. (Edilteco Insulation Additive), which coats each EPS bead to ensure stable and homogeneous bonding with cement-based mixtures. This additive eliminates flotation and separation issues typical of untreated EPS, allowing for faster startup (within 45 days), consistent results, and the production of lightweight, thermally efficient mortars ready for the construction industry.

A Complete Range of EPS Production Plants

Edilteco’s portfolio includes several dedicated production lines designed for scalability and industrial performance:

·        EPS Expansion Plant – For the automated transformation of raw EPS into high-quality, lightweight beads

·        Politerm® Evolution Plant – For coating EPS beads with E.I.A. for use in thermal insulating mortars (You can read more regarding Politerm Technology in Edilteco Group)

·        Drymix Plant – For blending and bagging ready-to-use lightweight EPS-based mortars

·        ECAP® Plant – For producing prefinished EPS insulation boards for external wall insulation (EWI) systems

·        Smartblocks Plant – For the manufacture of lightweight insulating EPS-concrete blocks for the building sector

Each system is designed for efficient, high-volume production with minimal labor, making them ideal for manufacturers seeking scalable and sustainable insulation solutions.

Partnering for Growth

With over 50 licensed partners around the world, Edilteco provides a strategic model for industrial growth. Partners benefit from access to Edilteco’s know-how, technical support, and product evolution, enabling them to introduce top-tier EPS insulation products into their markets quickly and efficiently.

At K 2025, Edilteco welcomes manufacturers and investors interested in discovering how this technology can become a platform for expansion, innovation, and leadership in energy-efficient construction.
