Uniolite or compressed polyester is a light weight product that is produced from compressed polyester grains. More than 95% of the components of this product are air and 5% are plastic. The plastic particles are made of styrene monomer, which has made this product highly resistant to various factors. Unolit is used in making roof unolit, unolit refrigerator, unolit sheet.
Types of Unolith
Ionolites have different types, each of which will have different uses in industries based on their specific chemical and physical compounds.
Intensive Unoliths
Compressed ionolite with a density of 50 and very light weight is used in various industries, including automobile manufacturing, construction and sculpture. It is one of the most important applications of compressed unolite-foam sheets in the insulation of cold stores, refrigerators and buildings. Compressed sheet foam is very good insulation against humidity and temperature.
Standard Ceiling Unolite
Standard roof unolit is actually a kind of unolit that has been changed in the factory according to the needs of the building. The density of ceiling monolith is generally between 6 and 12, which is the standard density of ceiling monolith is 7 and 8.
Wall Unoliths
Wall monoliths, also known as wall foam, are used as wall covering, decorative wall foam or 3D panel in the building.

Using Unolith
use monolith in packaging
Ionolites are very resistant to moisture and water penetration. On the other hand, they can withstand impact and pressure well. This feature has caused it to be known as an excellent option for packing items. Yunolit can be used to package porcelain and earthenware, electronic equipment, chemicals, food, and fruit.
production of ionolity or travel ice
One of the other applications of Unolite can be mentioned in the production of travel coolers. Travel coolers are actually boxes made of unolite, which are used to store and transport frozen food, medicine, and laboratory samples.
How to Produce Unolith
To produce Unolith, polystyrene is extracted from oil refinery in raw form. After that, the polystyrene beads are impregnated with pentane and turned into pre-foam at a temperature above 90 degrees Celsius. This increase in temperature causes the evaporation of pentane and this process causes 20 to 50 times the dimensions of the thermoplastic base. In the next step, the seeds are kept for 6 to 12 hours to reach equilibrium. Then, finally, they are transferred to various formats to become the desired shape.
