There are four major rigid plastic foam insulation's commonly used for residential, commercial and industrial insulation: extruded polystyrene (XEPS), expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyurethane (PUR). Each type has individual characteristics and specific advantages and disadvantages for particular building applications. Nonetheless, the stable properties of polystyrene, when combined with a unique foam extrusion process, produce an exceptionally useful product with benefits for nearly all construction and engineering applications.
Extruded polystyrene has a well established reputation for long-term reliability and superior resistance to the elemental forces of nature: time, water, cold, heat, and pressure.
