Expanded polystyrene is a widely used material in our current construction projects. Many people ask if expanded polystyrene produces formaldehyde.
Our commonly referred to extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation boards utilize a CO2 foam process instead of the traditional CFC and HCFC gases, protecting the ozone layer and offering a more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solution. They are free from radioactive or volatile substances and do not contain formaldehyde.
During extended use, the material does not age, degrade, or produce harmful substances. It maintains stable chemical properties and is not subject to degradation due to moisture absorption or corrosion. In high-temperature environments, it retains its superior performance. According to available information, XPS extruded boards can maintain their properties even after 30 to 40 years of use, without decomposing or molding, and without releasing toxic substances.
Expanded polystyrene boards have been tested by relevant authorities and found to have stable chemical properties, do not emit harmful substances, and are harmless to humans. The production materials are environmentally friendly, ensuring no industrial pollution is generated. This product falls under eco-friendly building materials.
