Benefits of Insulation - XPS & EPS

1. Expanded Polystyrene, EPS is produced by expanding polystyrene beads with steam.

2. Extruded Polystyrene, XPS is made by extruding molten polystyrene and then expanding it using blowing agents.

Benefits of EPS and XPS Insulation Compared to PU (Polyurethane)

1. Moisture Resistant: XPS/EPS typically has a closed-cell structure, making it more resistant to moisture absorption compared to open-cell PU foam. This property is crucial for insulation materials, especially in environments where moisture ingress can compromise the insulation's effectiveness over time.

2. R-Value Retention: XPS/EPS tends to maintain its thermal resistance (R-value) over time, whereas PU foam may experience a decrease in R-value due to aging and moisture absorption. XPS/EPS can provide consistent insulation performance throughout its lifespan.

3. Strength and Durability: XPS/EPS is known for its high compressive strength, making it suitable for applications where the insulation may experience heavy mechanical loads or pressure, it’s more resistant to deformation and can maintain its structural integrity better than PU foam.

4. Fire Resistance: XPS/EPS has a higher fire resistance compared to PU foam. This property can be critical in buildings where fire safety regulations require insulation materials with specific fire ratings to enhance overall safety measures.

5. Environmental Impact: XPS/EPS can be manufactured with a lower environmental impact compared to PU foam, especially if recycled content or eco-friendly production methods are used. This aspect is increasingly important in sustainable construction practices and green building certifications.
