What is the difference between EPP and EPS foam in helmets?
EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) and EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) are both lightweight foam materials used in helmets for shock absorption. EPP is known for its excellent energy absorption and durability, making it ideal for repeated impacts, while EPS is more cost-effective and crumples upon impact to reduce force. Both materials enhance safety, but EPP may offer better long-term performance in high-impact situations.
