Zhejiang Jinhua Extruded Plate Manufacturer

Expanded Polystyrene Foam Board, commonly referred to as XPS board.

Key Features

Compared to EPS polystyrene foam boards, it boasts significantly improved properties such as strength, thermal insulation, and resistance to moisture vapor permeation. It can maintain its thermal insulation and compressive strength even when submerged, making it particularly suitable for building insulation, thermal preservation, and moisture-proof treatments. It is one of the cost-effective construction materials in the modern construction industry.

Un paralleled thermal insulation performance

The thermal conductivity of polystyrene foam boards is less than or equal to 0.028 W/mK, significantly lower than that of other insulation materials. In engineering, materials with a thermal conductivity of less than 0.25 W/mK are typically considered insulation materials, thus offering high thermal resistance and low linear expansion rates. They are widely used in roof insulation and heat preservation systems, cold storage facilities, and thermal insulation for both interior and exterior walls.

Waterproof Absorbency

As an insulating material, the water absorption rate is an extremely important technical indicator. High water absorption can lead to a decrease in insulating performance. Extruded polystyrene (XPS) boards have a complete closed-cell structure with no gaps on either side of the board, preventing moisture from seeping in due to leaks, condensation, and freezing/thawing cycles. This effectively blocks the entry of water molecules, thus preventing the board from aging and ensuring that the insulating layer maintains its function over time. Eventually, this may necessitate the repair of the insulating structure layer. The closed-cell structure of XPS boards effectively prevents the penetration of water molecules (including water vapor), even if mechanically damaged during installation. The tightly packed honeycomb structure of XPS boards maintains a low water absorption rate. Due to the effective prevention of water molecule penetration and its non-hydrophilic nature, aging is almost impossible, making it nearly as long-lasting as the building itself.

(3) Sustainable Insulation Performance

Low thermal conductivity is a necessary condition for all insulation materials. XPS boards are made from polystyrene (PS), which is well-known as an appropriate insulation material. Moreover, the production by extrusion method ensures a tightly closed-cell honeycomb structure, which more effectively prevents heat conduction.

(4) Unexpectedly high compressive strength

XPS extruded board is a lightweight, high-strength panel with compressive strength exceeding 350 KPa when the density does not exceed 40 kg per cubic meter. Its use in buildings offers excellent impact resistance.

XPS extruded polystyrene boards maintain their compressive strength even when submerged in water, a feature not found in other insulation materials.

(5) Excellent flame retardancy

We offer both standard and flame-retardant products to meet the flame-retardant requirements of thermal insulation for factory buildings, sports venues, convention centers, and more.

(6) High-quality eco-friendly products

XPS extruded polystyrene boards have stable chemical properties, no off-gassing of harmful substances, and do not decompose or mildew; they also exhibit excellent corrosion resistance.

During the production of XPS extruded boards, eco-friendly materials are used, ensuring no harmful gases are emitted. The production process also reflects an environmental philosophy, with solid waste generated being recyclable and reusable, making it a recyclable eco-friendly product.

(7) Easy construction with low cost

Due to its lightweight nature, handling is easy, cutting is straightforward, and there's no need for electric saws. Fixing is simple, requiring only iron sheets, wire, and either plastic adhesive or polymer mortar. Consequently, it significantly reduces the cost of construction.
