Blue Foam XPS
Blue Foam XPS
Blue Foam XPS is a premium, rigid thermal insulation board with a 100% closed-cell structure, manufactured through a sophisticated extrusion process.
Property | Description / Value |
Material Base | Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) |
Certified Density | 30 kg/m³ to 35 kg/m³ (Standard) |
Thermal Conductivity | Ultra-Low (as low as 0.029 W/m·K) |
Water Absorption | Near Zero (≤ 0.1% by volume) |
Compressive Strength | Exceptional (Designed for high-traffic surfaces) |
Available Thickness | 20 mm to 50 mm |
Maximum Thermal Barrier: Keeps buildings cool in summer and warm in winter, reducing HVAC energy consumption by up to 40%.
Absolute Moisture Resistance: Does not absorb rainwater or groundwater, maintaining its R-value even when submerged or exposed to leaks.
Mechanical Rigidity: Will not sag, compress, or deform under the weight of tiles, screed, or consistent foot traffic.
Extended Life Span: Chemically inert and rot-proof; it remains effective for the entire lifetime of the building.
Seamless Installation: Available with lapped (Shiplap) edges to ensure interlocking boards, preventing any thermal leakage at the joints.
Low Waste: High rigidity allows for clean cutting and minimal breakage during site handling.
Inverted Roof Systems: The primary layer placed above the waterproofing membrane to protect it from thermal shock and UV.
Cold Storage & Chillers: High-efficiency insulation for floors and walls in facilities requiring precise temperature control.
Cavity Wall Insulation: Placed within external walls to provide a superior thermal envelope for the building.
Foundations & Underground Tanks: Protects external waterproofing and insulates structures below grade.
Rooftop Parking: Capable of supporting vehicle traffic loads when combined with proper structural finishes.
Surface Preparation: Ensure the waterproofing layer is fully tested and clean before laying the Blue Foam boards.
Laying: Boards should be laid tightly. If using shiplap-edged boards, ensure they are properly interlocked.
Fixing: For horizontal roofs, boards are typically "loose-laid." For vertical walls, use compatible bituminous adhesives or plastic insulation anchors.
Protection Layer: It is essential to place a non-woven Geotextile layer over the foam before applying sand or mortar to prevent fine particles from clogging the joints.
