They withstand multiple uses while retaining their protective properties against impact, humidity and static electricity.  <\/p><h3>What&#8217;s the difference between PPE and PSE for equipment protection?<\/h3><p>PPE is the ideal material for the manufacture of protective cases for the storage of frequently used instruments, such as drones or cameras. EPS is ideal for the manufacture of transport solutions for bulky professional equipment. Both offer excellent protection, but for different applications.  <\/p><h3>Can the design be customized for different product models?<\/h3><p>Absolutely. PPE molding enables us to manufacture custom compartments that are perfectly adapted to each equipment model and its accessories. Each design is developed specifically according to the dimensions and protection requirements of the particular product.  <\/p><h3>Can the PPE be recycled at the end of its life?<\/h3><p>Yes, PPE can be recycled by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knauf-industries.com\/en\/blog\/all-you-need-to-know-about-mechanical-plastics-recycling\/\">mechanical recycling<\/a>, the method with the lowest environmental impact. To further contribute to the circular economy, our engineers have developed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knauf-industries.com\/en\/circular-material\/\">RELOOPP\u00ae<\/a>, an alternative material to PPE with identical properties, but made from post-consumer recycled materials. <\/p><h3>How resistant is PPE to extreme temperatures?<\/h3><p>PPE retains its protective properties over a temperature range from -40\u00b0C to +130\u00b0C. This property is essential when instruments are used outdoors or in variable weather conditions (industrial inspections, topography, precision agriculture). <\/p><h3>How much extra weight does the EPP add to a piece of equipment?<\/h3><p>PPE is very light, although the strength of the final product depends on the density of the material. Compared with rigid plastic cases, it can reduce weight by up to 50%. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d605a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5d605a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Conclusion <\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p>Would you like to find out more, or discuss a project to design customized personal protection solutions for your portable professional equipment?
