Insufoam XPS
Insufoam XPS
Insufoam XPS is a premium, rigid thermal insulation board with a 100% closed cell structure, manufactured through a high precision extrusion process.
Property | Description / Value |
Material Base | Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) |
Available Density | 30 kg/m³ to 45 kg/m³ (Standard: 35 kg/m³) |
Thermal Conductivity | Ultra-Low (as low as 0.028 W/m·K) |
Water Absorption | ≤ 0.5% (Negligible due to closed-cells) |
Compressive Strength | High (up to 300 kPa or more) |
Edge Profile | Available in Square or Tongue & Groove (Lapped) |
Absolute Moisture Resistance: Unlike standard foam, XPS does not absorb water, maintaining its R-value even in direct contact with groundwater or rain.
Extreme Load Bearing: Engineered to withstand heavy traffic, including vehicles, equipment, and thick structural finishes.
Long-Term Thermal Efficiency: Provides a consistent thermal barrier for decades without degrading or losing thickness.
Zero Thermal Bridging: Available with "Tongue & Groove" edges to ensure a seamless insulation layer without gaps.
Eco-Friendly & Safe: 100% Recyclable, CFC/HCFC-free, and ozone-friendly (ODP zero).
Biological Stability: Resistant to mold, fungi, and bacterial growth, ensuring a healthy building environment.
Inverted Roof Systems: Installed above the waterproofing membrane to protect it and insulate the building.
Roof Parking: The preferred insulation for roofs designed for vehicle traffic due to its high density.
Cold Storage & Chillers: High-efficiency insulation for walls and floors of industrial refrigerators.
Foundation & Perimeter Walls: Used to insulate structures in direct contact with soil and high water tables.
Façade Systems: Acts as the core insulation layer behind external cladding or under rendering.
Surface Preparation: The substrate (usually the waterproofing layer) must be clean, dry, and level.
Installation: Place the boards tightly. Inverted roofs often use loose-laid boards, while vertical walls require mechanical fasteners or compatible adhesives.
Lapping: Use the "Tongue & Groove" edges to interlock boards, preventing thermal leakage.
Protection: For roofing, cover the XPS boards with a separation layer (non-woven Geotextile) before applying gravel, sand, or pavers.
