High Compressive Strength XPS Foam Insulation Board Grooved (B1 and B2)
Definition
XPS stands for Extruded Polystyrene. XPS foam board is essentially liquified then molded and compressed styrofoam. Ever grab your Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and not get burned? Well the hot coffee is kept from scalding your mitts by 1/4” of polystyrene foam. Imagine how well 2 or 4 inches would insulate (Answer: much better).
XPS foam board is an insulation material similar to polyisocyanurate in its texture and rigidity. It is usually blue or pink in color, with a smooth plastic surface. Like fiberglass, the pink and blue colors are not natural but part of the manufacturing company’s marketing efforts.
Polystyrene is liquified to create XPS. This liquid is mixed into a foam then shaped in a flat mold. Once hardened, it is cut into the 4’x 8’ sheet boards.
XPS panels can come unfaced or faced typically with a foil air/vapor barrier. The R-value is about 5 per in. This type of rigid foam won’t absorb water and can act as an semi-impermeable vapor barrier. XPS is stronger and more durable than expanded polystyrene (aka Styrofoam) and it is comparably priced to polyiso.
Description
XPS is an extruded polystyrene insulation manufactured through a plastic extrusion process. The resulting board is almost 100% closed cell, strong, highly moisture resistant and easy to cut and shape.
ShunanInsulation Polyfoam extruded polystyrene (XPS) is particularly indicated for places where a high mechanic resistance is required. Its resistance to water and compression make it the ideal insulation solution for extreme conditions. Moreover, it is very easy to install and offers a high performance thermal insulation for your building
This makes them ideal for applications in the construction industry as they are equipped for 'site survival' and can be cut to shapes that make them extremely fit for use. It also means that Polyfoam is ideal for a vast range of fabrication applications where the strength of the material as an infill in panels etc. is widely recognised and valued.
In short Polyfoam is two solutions in one......both a thermal AND structural insulation solution

SA Insulation Polyfoam XPS insulation solutions provide you with:
- Resistance to compression: The inherent mechanical strength of Polyfoam make it the ideal solution for heavy domestic or industrial loads
- Water resistance: Polyfoam is almost 100% closed cell and as such is unaffected by moisture
- Lightweight: volume optimisation and easy to handle
- Resistance to deformation
- Resistance to impact
- Versatile: the closed cell structure and density of Polyfoam allow specific edge details and surface finishes to be cut into the boards to make them as fit for the job as possible. Moreover, Polyfoam can be cut into almost any shape
- 100% ozone friendly
- Recyclable: Polyfoam is a polystyrene foam insulant and as such is 100% recyclable
