XPS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDINGS

06/11/2016

Effective Building Envelops help blocking heat into buildings, improve comfort & reduce cooling loads. Besides this, they also the power consumption by efficient cooling systems leading to reduced energy consumption.

Advanced XPS Insulation materials are hydrophobic in nature. Hence, they hold on to its strength in the long term. Other insulation products typically tend to become brittle and crush under loads.


      SMART FEATURES:

      • NEGLIGIBLE WATER ABSORPTION: XPS could be well laid above the water proofing keeping the water proofing on the mother slab and protecting it.
      • VERSATILE FOR GREEN BUILDINGS: Achieve energy efficiency of Green Buildings under varied headings of energy & atmosphere, indoor air quality and recycled content.
      • HIGH COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH: XPS materials exhibit good compression strength properties. These are available in 250 to 700 kPa complying with ASTM 1621 testing standards.
      • SURFACE BURNING CHARACERISTICS: Class A as per NFPA 101.


          KEY SEGMENTS FOR USE:

          • ROOFS: Concrete, Metal & Under Deck
          • WALLS: Curtains, Cavity & Wall Blocks
          • ENGINEERED STRUCTURES & SOLUTIONS: Parking Decks & landscaping, Cold storage Floors, Road Beds, Foundation Walls & Others


              TYPICAL TECHNICAL VARIANTS / SPECIFICATIONS:

              • Compressive Strength (kPa) : 250 to 700
              • Thermal Conductivity day 1 @10oC (W/mK) : 0.020 ; Thermal Conductivity day 180 @10oC (W/mK) : 0.027
              • Thermal Conductivity day 1 @24oC (W/mK) : 0.021 ; Thermal Conductivity day 180 @24oC (W/mK) : 0.029
              • Water Absorption Rate (%v/v): ≤1%
              • NFPA Life Safety Code : Class A

              Typically available in Edge Profile: Shiplap / Square; 2400 mm Length & 600/1200 mm width.
