EPS Foam
EPS Foam
EPS Foam It is manufactured from expandable polystyrene beads that are molded into blocks or sheets.
Property | Description / Value |
Material Base | Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) |
Available Density | 10 kg/m³ to 40 kg/m³ (Customizable) |
Thermal Conductivity | Low (0.033 to 0.038 W/m·K) |
Water Absorption | Minimal (Closed-cell technology) |
Compressive Strength | Increases proportionally with density |
Fire Classification | Available in Fire Retardant (FR) Grades |
Superior Thermal Insulation: Drastically reduces energy consumption for cooling and heating, lowering long-term operational costs.
Extreme Lightweight: Significantly reduces "Dead Loads" on structural slabs and foundations, allowing for more efficient building designs.
Moisture & Mold Resistance: An inert material that does not rot or support the growth of bacteria, fungi, or mold.
Easy Handling & Cutting: Can be easily cut and shaped on-site using hot wires or saws for precise fitting.
100% Recyclable: Environmentally friendly, CFC/HCFC-free, and contributes to sustainable building practices (LEED).
Dimensional Stability: Maintains its shape and insulating properties throughout the lifespan of the building.
Roof Insulation: Used in "Inverted" or "Conventional" roof systems for maximum thermal protection.
Wall Insulation: Installed within cavity walls or as part of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS).
Lightweight Concrete Fill: Used as "Hordi Blocks" in ribbed slabs to reduce the overall weight of concrete structures.
Floor Insulation: Ideal for cold storage facilities, chillers, and under-floor heating systems.
Architectural Moldings: Used to create lightweight cornices, columns, and decorative exterior shapes.
Surface Preparation: The substrate must be level, clean, and free from any sharp protrusions that could damage the foam boards.
Fixing Methods: Boards should be placed tightly together. For wall applications, use mechanical fasteners (anchors) or compatible adhesive mortars.
Protection: For roofing, it is recommended to cover the EPS boards with a protective layer (like non-woven Geotextile) before applying gravel or tiles.
Storage: Store away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent surface yellowing and UV degradation.
