Knauf Insulation is also providing you with high performance insulation solutions in both extruded polystyrene (XPS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS).

XPS (Extruded Polystyrene)

XPS is an extruded polystyrene insulation manufactured through a plastic extrusion process. The resulting boards are almost 100% closed cell, strong, highly moisture resistant and easy to cut and shape.

Knauf Insulation Polyfoam extruded polystyrene (XPS) is particularly indicated for places where a high mechanic resistance is required. Its resistance to water and compression make it the ideal insulation solution for extreme conditions. Moreover, it is very easy to install and offers a high performance thermal insulation for your building.

Knauf Insulation Polyfoam XPS insulation solutions provide you with :

• Resistance to compression: The inherent mechanical strength of Polyfoam make it the ideal solution for heavy domestic or industrial loads
• Water resistance: Polyfoam is almost 100% closed cell and as such is unaffected by moisture
• Lightweight: volume optimisation and easy to handle
• Resistance to deformation
• Resistance to impact
• Versatile: the closed cell structure and density of Polyfoam allow specific edge details and surface finishes to be cut into the boards to make them as fit for the job as possible. Moreover, Polyfoam can be cut into almost any shape
• 100% ozone friendly
• Recyclable: Polyfoam is a polystyrene foam insulant and as such is 100% recyclable

EPS (Expanded polystyrene)

Knauf Insulation's expanded polystyrene is a rigid, lightweight thermoplastic, closed cell foam plastic. By controlling the density of the expanding beads during the manufacturing process, we produce custom made insulation to the specific requirements of all the building applications. Our EPS boards are made of a unique fire resistance quality and are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes for all insulation applications of new buildings and renovations.

Knauf Insulation EPS characteristics :

• Low thermal conductivity
• High permanent R-value
• High compressive strength
• Excellent shock absorption
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Inherently resistant to water
• Reflective white color
• Non-dusting
• Will not rot, mildew or support bacterial growth
• Resistant to most acids and alkalis

Knauf Insulation EPS benefits :

• Low material/installation costs
• Broad range of densities and sizes
• Easy to handle and apply
• Simple to cut and shape
• Tolerates broad range of temperatures
• Restricts moisture penetration
• Does NOT deplete the Earth's ozone layer
• Easy to recycle
