EPS Panel is also known as foam panel, is a type of insulation panel made of EPS foam core (polystyrene) . This material has a thickness of about 0.3 - 0.6 mm, density of 11 - 40 kg / m3, the components of the panel are bonded together with specialized glue.
The reason why EPS panels are so popular is because the corrugated iron panels have outstanding features such as: insulation, sound insulation, high durability, moisture resistance and heat resistance.
Therefore, EPS insulation panels are used in construction items such as: ceilings, factory doors, hospital clean rooms, cold storage, storage, electronic equipment manufacturing rooms or in medical projects such as food warehouses.
Structure of EPS panels
Materials used for construction today often focus on sound insulation, heat resistance and fire resistance. The structure of EPS insulation panels consists of 3 layers of materials:
- The 2 outer layers of corrugated iron are galvanized material, with or without corrugation, this outer layer has a thickness of 0.3 - 0.6mm.
- The part between the two galvanized sheets is EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) foam, which is composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
This is the most important part to create insulation and soundproofing for the corrugated iron sheet.
In addition, these 3 layers of materials are bonded together with specialized glue, applying different density levels ranging from 8 - 14kg/m3. Customers can order to suit their usage requirements, however, the maximum allowable size is 12m long.
Benefits of EPS insulation panels in construction
EPS insulation panels are commonly used because of their outstanding advantages such as:
- Excellent sound insulation, heat insulation and fire resistance
The first advantage of EPS panels is their excellent heat and sound insulation. The reason EPS panels have this advantage is because this material is made of solid foam that helps prevent noise, insulate, and regulate the temperature between the outside environment and the inside space.
- Long life
The top layer of the EPS panel is galvanized iron sheet, which is rust-resistant, lightweight and durable. In addition, this top layer is also coated with electrostatic paint to increase the product's lifespan.
- High aesthetics
With a luxurious, modern design, the corrugated galvanized iron sheet is coated with a layer of color that both protects against external factors and contributes to the overall beauty of the space.
The beauty of EPS insulation panels is suitable for many different styles, the product is also resistant to mold and has a variety of colors, so it is very popular in the market.
- Quick construction, maintenance and dismantling
EPS insulation panels are easy to store, do not require warehouse support or special environments. The construction and installation process is quite simple and quick, in the form of assembling and welding the panels together.
So it only takes about ⅓ of the time compared to traditional materials. The product is light in weight and large in size, so construction and dismantling are also very quick and convenient.
- Environmentally friendly
If you are looking for a material that is both environmentally friendly and safe to use, EPS insulation panels will be the perfect choice. The product is made from green materials, so customers can rest assured when using it.
Applications of EPS insulation panels
- Used as room partitions due to its effective heat insulation, sound insulation and fire resistance.
- Use EPS panels to construct suspended ceilings in offices, to make factory walls - easy to construct, helping to save costs.
- Possessing good insulation properties, easy cleaning, effective waterproofing, it is used to construct clean room partitions and cold storage construction .
- Affordable price, saving installation and maintenance costs, so it is widely used in prefabricated houses, prefabricated houses, and boarding houses.
How to increase the durability of EPS insulation panels
- Before moving, wrap with a roll of plastic film or thin foam to limit scratches.
- Use electric vehicles or cranes to lift and transport products.
- Do not use sharp objects to rub or stab the surface to avoid deformation and discoloration of the product.
- Absolutely do not place heavy objects on the product to preserve the outer metal layer in the best condition.
- The warehouse must be dry, humidity at an acceptable level, avoid letting the product come into direct contact with the ground.
