EXTRUDED POLYSTYRENE

Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) is often used in demanding refrigeration applications. The rigid closed-cell structure of XPS gives it high compressive strength, low friability, and excellent resistance to water and water absorption from freeze-thaw cycling.

• Excellent water resistance (to both liquid and vapor)
• Good thermal efficiency – low k-factor
• Closed-cell and non-fibrous structure that does not wick water and is not a known source for mold and mildew
• Good dimensional stability
• Fabrication and installation ease
• Low dust, clean surface
• Low initial cost and low life-cycle cost
• Long service life
