FAQs About XPS Insulation Board

1 What are the advantages of B1 grade extruded board?

Due to the special structure of B1-level extruded boards, it has the following two advantages over B2-level extruded boards.

First, good stability and corrosion resistance

In the long-term use of B1 grade extruded board, it will not age, decompose, or produce harmful substances. Its chemical properties are extremely stable and will not degrade due to water absorption and corrosion. It will not decompose or become mildewed, and is not toxic. The evaporation of substances.

Second, high-quality water-repellent and moisture-proof properties

Water absorption is an important parameter for measuring B1-level extruded boards. The molecular structure of the board is stable and there are no gaps, which solves the problems of water leakage, penetration, frosting, condensation and other problems of other materials.

B1 grade extruded board can produce a uniform and smooth surface during the production process, and a good closed-cell honeycomb structure is formed inside, which has good thermal insulation properties, good moisture resistance, light weight, high pressure resistance, and airtightness , non-absorbent, corrosion-resistant, non-degradable and other characteristics. Compared with traditional high-elastic polystyrene materials, it has greatly improved energy-saving effects in terms of compressive strength, thermal insulation, and resistance to water vapor penetration. It is a good energy-saving and environmentally friendly material in the construction industry.


2 What are the advantages of B1 grade extruded board in practical applications?

First of all, external wall insulation can avoid the phenomenon of "thermal bridge" better than internal insulation. It can effectively avoid the generation of condensation water in the thermal bridge area, and can also eliminate the heat loss caused by the thermal bridge. Secondly, the use of external wall insulation can increase the temperature of the inner surface of the enclosure, so that the energy consumed for heating can be reduced by lowering the room temperature without reducing the indoor thermal environment. Again, it can effectively improve the moisture condition of the wall.

The application of exterior wall extruded board insulation is also very beneficial to improving the air tightness of the wall. For example, structural layers such as aerated concrete and hollow blocks can greatly improve the air tightness of the wall itself, which has great positive significance for energy conservation.


3 What is the difference between EPS polystyrene board and XPS extruded board technology?

EPS polystyrene board is a polystyrene foam board with a closed cell structure made by heating and pre-expanding expandable polystyrene beads and then heating and molding them in a mold. XPS extruded board is a rigid foam board made of polystyrene resin as raw material plus other raw materials and polymers, heated and mixed while injecting a catalyst, and then extruded and molded.

4 What color and dimension of extruded polystyrene XPS foam board SOHO can supply?

Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is a type of foam insulation that is commonly used in construction for its thermal resistance and moisture resistance. It is typically manufactured as rigid boards or sheets.

The normal color of our polystyrene foam board is light yellow, which also can be custom according to the requirement of the customer, including blue insulation foam, pink insulation foam and orange insulation foam.

The standard length is 1200mm and 2400mm. The width s 600mm and 1200mm. The thickness of these boards can vary from 10mm to 150mm. Some common thicknesses include 30mm, 50mm, 100mm or 1/2 inch, 1 inch, and 2 inch.

Here are some specific search terms related to extruded polystyrene insulation in various thicknesses:

- 30mm XPS insulation board
- 50mm XPS insulation board
- 100mm XPS insulation board
- 1/2 inch extruded polystyrene insulation board
- 1 inch extruded polystyrene insulation board
- 2 inch extruded polystyrene insulation board

When choosing the appropriate insulation thickness for your project, it's important to consult with a professional or refer to building codes and regulations to ensure that you are meeting the necessary standards for your location and building type.
