EPP: Expanded polypropylene

Known from vehicle and aircraft construction, EPP is a modern material for the manufacture of hive parts, which is ideal for the production of beehives due to its diverse material properties.

Material properties

• Eco^®Friendly: 100% recyclable
• Deformation-free resilience: shape memory limits damage caused by beekeeping practice with hive chisels, for example
• light and stable: for easy handling and joint-friendly beekeeping
• weather-resistant: even more durable* with integrated UV protection
• insulating: the insulating properties of the material protect the interior from external weather influences and help the bees inside to maintain the temperature of the beehive
• dyed: the fully dyed material requires no further painting
