Characteristics of expanded polystyrene (EPS) thermal insulation boards
Expanded polystyrene or so-called Styrofoam is an artificial polymer with an open lattice structure of air-filled spherical particles. Over 95% of its volume is air enclosed in spheres of the polymer lattice. It offers very good thermal insulation properties with good strength, minimal deformability, limited vapour permeability, fire resistance (class B1). The disadvantages of EPS […]
Characteristics of the Extruded Polystyrene XPS
Extruded polystyrene (XPS), or its common name “fibran”, is an insulation board made by extruding pre-foamed polystyrene so that it contains multiple air bubbles. The production technology gives a closed lattice structure with smaller particles (chambers smaller than 1 mm), hence the better mechanical properties of insulation boards compared to EPS. This achieves absolute impermeability […]
