FAQs about StyroBoard EPS

What is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)?

Expanded polystyrene is a rigid cellular plastic foam material derived from petroleum and natural gas by-products. It is widely used in building and construction because its inherent strength, durability, and thermal insulation make it an ideal choice for energy-efficient buildings.

What is the difference between EPS and XPS?

EPS foam is a closed-cell insulation manufactured by ‘expanding’ the polystyrene polymer. Usually produced in block form, it is used in many applications, including polystyrene insulation, architectural profiles, void forms, protective packaging, cold storage, refrigeration units, and sign-writing displays.

Extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam is formed with a polystyrene polymer and manufactured using an extrusion process. This rigid XPS foam provides a strong, lightweight, and flexible insulation solution resistant to water absorption. XPS foam board is ideal for various commercial uses, including wall and ceiling insulation, cool rooms and refrigeration, under concrete slabs, and architectural modelling or hobby model making.

How long does expanded polystyrene last?

EPS is a highly durable building and insulation material designed to offer superior, constant thermal insulation performance over its more than 50-year service life.
