XPS (Blue Foam)
Extruded polystyrene foam
Extruded foam boards, which are considered the new generation in thermal insulation and are the best types of heat insulating materials in terms of high-quality technical specifications that have proven their global efficiency in thermal insulation and their tolerance to different conditions.
It is distinguished by its ability to provide effective heat and sound insulation and is the best type of thermal insulation applications
Blue foam boards are used in a variety of applications, such as insulating exterior and interior roofs and walls, as well as making furniture and sound insulation for places such as audio studios and dark rooms
Blue foam is produced in multiple densities and thicknesses from 2 cm to 10 cm and shows the best thermal insulation result in a more economical way. Blue foam panels are distinguished by their ability to provide effective insulation from heat and humidity, and they are a popular choice in building and construction applications and improving insulation inside buildings
EPS (White Foam)
Injection molded polystyrene (EPS) is a thermal insulating material obtained from petroleum derivatives through polystyrene as a raw material containing pentane gas. A gaseous exchange takes place between the pentane present in the pores with the air. In this way, millions of pores are formed that trap air and thus have an insulating property. The air is motionless and dry. 98% of the material. EPS can be produced in different densities. Its technical properties can vary depending on the purpose of use, and it shows the same performance as other insulating materials, but in a more economical way, and it does not lose the properties of EPS over time. It is a heat-insulating material that is friendly to the consumer and the environment
Some uses of eps:
- Granules for grouting and mixing with concrete.
- It is used as an insulating material for floors, walls, and ceiling walls.
- An insulating material in cold rooms.
- Insulating refrigerators and freezers.
- Spacers between concrete.
Features of insulating foam
It can be used as double insulation because it does not allow water to leak
Reduces energy consumption by up to 40%
It is not affected by insects and fungi do not grow on it
Resistant to compression
It is considered a solid insulating material that is difficult to penetrate
High fire resistance
High resistance to chemicals such as acids, building materials and bitumen
Easy to brush, lightweight, low cost
It is characterized by a dense thickness that makes its lifespan longer than other types.
