Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) is a rigid and closed-cell insulation material that is made from polystyrene resins and other additives. XPS is manufactured by melting polystyrene pellets and extruding them through a die, which results in a foam board with a smooth, dense surface.
XPS foam has excellent thermal insulation properties and is widely used in building and construction applications, such as insulation for roofs, walls, and foundations. It is also commonly used in the transportation industry for insulation in refrigerated trucks and containers.
Compared to other insulation materials, XPS foam has a higher compressive strength, making it a more durable material that can withstand heavy loads and foot traffic. It is also resistant to moisture, rot, and chemicals, making it an ideal choice for use in damp or wet environments.
XPS foam can be easily cut, shaped, and molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, making it a versatile material for a wide range of applications. It is also lightweight and easy to handle, which reduces installation time and labor costs.
However, like other polystyrene-based materials, XPS foam is not biodegradable and can take up space in landfills for many years. Therefore, efforts are being made to develop alternative methods for recycling and reusing XPS foam to reduce its impact on the environment.
