POLYFOAM Extruded polystyrene(XPS) foam is the most common insulation material produced from a combination of polystyrene granules with chemical additives.
The product is environmental friendly as all residual matter from the manufacturing process is recycled with the original raw materials, resulting in zero wastage. Technically, the product is called extruded or expanded polystyrene Insulated material.
Availability
Standard size of POLYFOAM Extruded polystyrene(XPS) foam boards; Thickness from 25mm to 100mm, with standard width 600mm and length 1250mm.
POLYFOAM Extruded polystyrene(XPS) foam density range: 32-50kg/m3 density.
Application
ROOF INSULATION
Roof insulation mostly known as the inverted roof concept or upside down roofing succeeds in insulating both the waterproofing membrane and the R.C. slab from extreme thermal stress.
FLOOR INSULATION
Floor finish is particularly important in the Middle East; especially where the soil temperature is very high. Good floor insulation helps reduce heat flow through the floor into air conditioned buildings. POLYFOAM XPS is an ideal thermal insulation product due to its high compressive strength, high resistance to water absorption, moisture penetration and low thermal conductivity. POLYFOAM XPS can be used for special floor applications such as cold store and parking deck floors.
WALL INSULATION
INTERIOR WALL INSULATION
- Interior thermal insulation is used where existing buildings require insulation, building with special exterior finishes and building with intermittent air conditioning.
- The Internal lining POLYFOAM XPS can be used either with adhesives or by mechanical fasteners. The lining can be covered either by Gypsum plastic board or by normal plaster with the help of wire mesh.
CAVITY WALL INSULATION
Cavity wall insulation is an advantage where an external brick of any type and finish is required. Also, for any type of air-conditioned buildings to save energy.
EXTERIOR INSULATION
It is the most efficient way of insulation building without interrupting structure elements. POLYFOAM XPS can be fixed behind granite or GRC panels with adhesive or mechanical fasteners.
