Niki, Niki, Niki. You can masturbate all the equations you want, but you
can't change material at will.
I have been in the EPS business since May of 1970. I have been in every
aspect of molding expandable polystyrene beads. Packaging, insulation, ICF,
fabricated board. If it was an open cell, do you think the coffee cuts and
seafood containers would be holding liquids?
Want the names of the top chemists for this stuff at NOVA or BASF, or
Huntsman?
What is EPS?
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, closed cell, plastic foam material.
EPS can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes. EPS is typically
available in large blocks that can be cut into sheeting, architectural
detail work for use on houses and buildings, signage, floatation etc. It's
lightweight properties make it very easy to work with. Architectural EPS is
modified with a fire retardant and is usually encapsulated with an
acrylic-based finish.
EPS is totally recyclable. EPS does not contain ozone depleting CFC's or
HCFC's.

My Dearest Niki,
Please call Felix at Nova Chemical. Or Warren at BASF. They will educate
you. They can even send you photos of the cellular structure of the
material. They can send you many of the technical bulletins. They can give
you the specifications.
By stating that I'm wrong on this, you merely show your inability to accept
reality. Prove me wrong. Show me the statistics. Show me the technical
data. If the people that have been making EPS since 1954 are wrong, they
would certainly appreciate you setting them right.
I didn't invent the material, I just work with it for the past 36 years.
Millions of pounds of it, tens of millions of parts made with it. Sure
Nick, you know everything.
I respectfully await your reply.
Your friend,
Ed

You can't even spell mathimaticals of proof :-)
