Cellular plastic is manufactured in homogenous blocks by expanding and foaming together small plastic beads (granulate). Block density can be varied and grade is determined by compressive strength in kPa.
Offering different insulation values, the various grades are suitable for different purposes.For example, certain grades are suitable for insulating foundations while others are more suitable for use in walls or roofs.
Grades
EPS 60
Used primarily in roofs where ability to withstand significant loads is not required.
EPS 80
Used in wall elements, house foundations and smaller buildings.
EPS 100
Highly suitable for the foundations of larger houses and industrial buildings.
EPS 150
Suitable for large foundations that are subject to special requirements.
EPS 200
Used for edge elements, foundations subject to heavy loads and load-bearing walls.
XPS 300 and XPS 600
Designed to meet special requirements, e.g. extreme long-term compressive strength.
