Thermal Insulation - Styropan XPS

The properties that differentiate Styropan XPS extruded polystyrene from other types of insulation materials are:

• Very high mechanical strength (compressive stress at 10% deformation, tensile strength perpendicular to faces, shear strength) thus high load-bearing capacity which is particularly important in terraces, floors and especially industrial facilities floors etc.
• Very low water absorption that makes it an ideal insulating material in applications such as in underground walls, inverted or green roofs etc.
• Very low values of thermal conductivity coefficient, that ensure minimal heat flow between the building shell and the environment, achieving thermal comfort with the least possible energy consumption.
• They are 100% recyclable and they do not contain chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), hydro-chlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) or hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC).
• They exhibit excellent adhesion to concrete or mortars as they can be manufactured without the extrusion skin and/or in the form of embossed, rhomboidal surface (e.g. Styropan XPS ETICS EMB).
