Additional Properties for all EPS Types: Maximum Service Temperature: Long-Term Exposure 167°F [75°C], Intermittent Exposure 176°F [80°C] Capillarity: None. Solubility: Insoluble in water and generally chemically inert. EPS dissolves in hydrocarbons, esters, aldehydes and amines. Like all organic materials, EPS products are combustible and must not be exposed to excessive heat, sparks, open flames, or any other sources of ignition.
