What is XPS insulation foam?
XPS insulation foam is a material made from PS plastic with a closed production process. Through a special production process, these molecules will expand, harden and be molded into foam sheets. The molecular structure of the foam is sealed and foamed.
This product has many colors and diverse sizes that can meet the needs of every project. Some of the most popular sizes are 1200*2400mm with thicknesses of 20mm - 25mm - 30mm - 50mm.
What is special about the structure of XPS foam board?
XPS insulation foam has an Extruded Polystyrene molecular structure that increases its load-bearing capacity and absolute water resistance. XPS foam has a sealed and foamed structure that helps prevent moisture, corrosion, has a long life and low thermal conductivity...
This type of foam is lightweight so it can be easily cut and assembled quickly. This product is considered a new solution for the construction industry because XPS foam is made from extremely friendly materials and does not pollute the environment at all.
3. Outstanding advantages of XPS heat-resistant foam
Nowadays, many customers choose to use XPS insulation foam for their projects. Because this material has many outstanding advantages compared to other product lines.
- Effective soundproofing and heat insulation
The soundproofing and heat insulation capabilities of XPS foam are the reason why many customers choose this material to prevent heat and reduce noise for their projects.
According to some recent studies, constructions using XPS foam panels can save a large amount of electricity consumption annually. Thanks to the use of less electrical equipment because the space becomes cooler and more airy when lining XPS foam on the interior walls or floors.
In addition, thanks to its special structure, XPS foam panels can also effectively prevent noise for factories, production workshops,...
Good moisture and waterproofing ability
In addition to the two advantages mentioned above, XPS foam also has extremely effective waterproof and mold-proof properties. That is why this material is used to waterproof floors, basements, etc.
Light weight ratio
Thanks to its special structure, XPS heat-resistant foam is very light in weight. Thanks to that, the transportation and construction process also becomes easier. Besides, thanks to its light weight, it does not affect the construction structure of the works.
- Multi-purpose, multi-function
With outstanding advantages, XPS insulation foam panels are used in many fields. We can use this material to make partitions in factories and houses thanks to its excellent sound and heat insulation capabilities. It can both effectively prevent heat and reduce noise.
In addition, in construction, XPS insulation foam panels are also used to build basement foundations, helping to prevent mold very well for the project. In addition, XPS foam also has many other uses such as keeping heat for cold rooms, cold storage,...
- Environmentally friendly
XPS Foam Board has a stable chemical structure, no toxic and hazardous substances will be evaporated. This material will not even decompose or mold. It is also an excellent anti-corrosion material.
XPS insulation foam is produced from environmentally friendly materials, does not contain toxic substances. We can also reuse this foam many times.
Applications of XPS foam insulation in construction
Thanks to its special structure and many outstanding advantages, XPS insulation foam panels are widely used. Specifically:
- Keep cold rooms and cold storage warm
XPS foam panels have stable durability, good water resistance and high compression resistance. Therefore, this material is used to make insulation panels for cold storage and cold rooms to better preserve products.
We can apply XPS insulation foam panels to ceilings, interior or exterior walls, floors,...
- As insulation and soundproofing materials in construction
When starting to build a building, people will use XPS foam insulation between the wall and plaster (for concrete walls and floors) or between the purlin layer and the deck floor (for prefabricated steel buildings). Thanks to this foam layer, the space becomes cooler and quieter.
Moisture and waterproofing for basements and foundations
In some places the weather often changes continuously, leading to water stagnation on the floor (also known as the wet season), causing discomfort for many families. XPS foam panels are the solution not only to prevent condensation, but XPS foam is also a material used to insulate buildings.
Insulation for the roof of the building
Nowadays, XPS foam insulation panels are quite popular for roof construction. This material helps to waterproof and prevent rainwater leakage for interior constructions. Besides, it also helps to insulate and limit sunlight containing harmful ultraviolet rays.
