StyroTherm XPS made by Foamex is made for Australian climates and ensures a high level of integrity for your building product. Additionally, this product complies with Australian Building Standards AS1366.4 and has a KPA rating that exceeds BCA regulations. \u003ch2\u003eWhat is XPS Insulation?\u003c\/h2\u003e As the name suggests, XPS foam is formed with polystyrene polymer and manufactured using an extrusion process that results in a rigid insulation material with a dense, close-knit cell structure. The manufacturing process for XPS is similar to the process used to create expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam products. Polystyrene is a synthetic, hydrocarbon polymer derived from benzene and ethylene. Polystyrene resin beads or granules are fed into an extruder, where they are heated at very high temperatures until molten. At this stage, additives are added to the mixture including colouring agents. Note that XPS products are often identifiable by a distinctive colour associated with a product brand. A foam blowing agent is then added to enable the product to expand after extrusion. Using controlled heat and pressure, the plastic mixture is forced through a die (extruded), after which it is allowed to cool and expand into the desired shape. The resulting foam board is cut to the final product dimensions.
