Advantages and Uses of Foam Board

Polystyrene Foam Board

Polystyrene foam board is also known as foam board or EPS board. It is a kind of white object made of expandable polystyrene beads containing volatile liquid blowing agent, by heating in the mold after pre-heating the molding. It has the characteristic of fine closed cell structure, mainly used in building wall roof insulation, composite board insulation, cold storage, air-conditioned vehicle, ship insulation, floor heating and decoration carved. In a word, the use is very wide. foam boards are characterized by low density, recovery rate and independent bubble structure. Surface is low water absorption, good anti-permeability. Corrosion of acid, alkali, salt, oil, organic solvents is excellent and has the anti-aging properties. Not flowing at high temperature and not rattle at low temperature.

Advantages of Foam Boards

Foam boards can protect the main structure of the building, so as to extend the building life. The outer insulation is placed in the structure outside the insulation layer, reducing the pressure generated due to the change in temperature causes the structure deformation, and to reduce the harmful substances in the air and ultraviolet structure erosion. Effectively eliminate thermal bridges "internal thermal insulation, thermal bridges is difficult to avoid, and external wall insulation to prevent the generation of thermal bridges, to avoid condensation. The white foam board improves the wall humid situation, generally within the insulation vapor barrier to be located, while the use of exterior insulation materials through temperature performance is far stronger than the main structure, generally does not occur condensation within the wall structure layer The entire walls raise the temperature further enhance the insulation properties of the wall. Favor stable at room temperature, the exterior insulation, He held stable because the larger structural layer of the heat storage capacity of the wall inside of the wall, there is conducive to the room temperature. Increase the use of housing area.

Foam board uses:

Foam boards can be used for the joint board of concrete highway expansion joints. Bridges seam sealing plate, building settlement joint, the framework structure caulk board. Living with water plants and sewage treatment plants, pond sealing caulk board. It can also used for the joint board of the airport runway. Metro, underpasses concrete the sealing seams board. Because of chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam has its unique advantages. Recovery rate, non-absorbent, water impact resistance, weather resistance, chemical resistance, aging resistance is not other materials. PE foam applications are more and more widely. Using the foam plate may conveniently be a line of the household appliances, telephone lines, cable lines, computer circuit in any part of the wall can penetrate the walls of the inside passage holes, EPS foam board not only saves raw material, but also the through hole end closed and can improve the thermal insulation properties of EPS; uniform outer surface pits for adsorption slurry protective layer, to increase the bonding efforts, the two should not be layered split and extend the life of the wall.
