EPP History

EPP was first developed in the 1970's by JSP, as a result of research into new forms of polypropylene.

The material's first applications were for automotive products in Japan in 1982.

Demand for EPP has since increased dramatically in all regions of the world based partly on the need of auto makers to improve energy management functions whilst reducing weight and improving environmental benefits.

The first automotive application for EPP was for an energy absorbing component in a bumper system. EPP is now widely utilized for numerous other automotive parts and systems, including seating and other interior components.
