Poor insulation contributes a lot to the wastage of home energy. Many homes in America are under-insulated, as the builders or contractors are ignorant about viable home insulation material. With the change of time, all the latest building practices must include six star rated insulation material for improved safety performance and comfort. The builder and homeowners need to explore effective material to keep the building warm in winter and cool in summer. Every home needs insulation boards, and there are dozens of products on the market. From extruded polystyrene (XEPS), expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyurethane (PUR), to polyisocyanurate (PIR) rigid foam insulation, all are commonly used for residential, commercial and industrial insulation. Each insulation product has their individual advantages and disadvantages, much like extruded polystyrene insulation used in Pactive insulation board. Nonetheless, the stable properties of polystyrene, when combined with a unique foam extrusion process, produce an exceptionally useful product with benefits for nearly all construction and engineering applications.
About Extruded Polystyrene Insulation Extruded Polystyrene Insulation foams is a rigid insulation formed with polystyrene polymer, but manufactured using an extrusion process, and is often manufactured with a distinctive color to identify product brand. The solid polystyrene crystal with special additives and blowing agent are melted under controlled condition inside extruder. The hot thick liquid forced to a continuous process to form foam. The expanded foams then cooled, shaped and trimmed into dimension to form Pactive insulation boards. Benefits and features of extruded polystyrene foams: The extruded polystyrene foam is widely used in heat insulation applications. The proper type of XPS insulation in your building will provide a continuous thermal barrier, minimizing the heat-flow through the walls, ceilings, and floors. Some of its benefits and features below mentioned:
.
The thermal conductivity coefficient of these foams are lower
as compared to others.
. .
The pore structure is closed. Avoid water absorption from outside, due to increasing and
continuous thermal conductivity value.
.
The thickness of the foam is not affected by any external
pressure.
. .
High freezing Resistance Improved dimensional stability and elasticity module
The product is suitable for any area. The optimum vapor resistance provision offers low water vapor permeability.
.The extruded polystyrene foam boards are easy to recycle.
.You could cut in different dimension with all kinds of cutting dimension.
Field of applications The extruded polystyrene foam boards from Pactive are mostly recommended for buildings and walls, where water can penetrate easily. It is also applicable in terrace roofs, external walls below the level of water accumulating areas, and in parts around pools, water tank and other water volumes.
