  • EPS x XPS: Science does not lie! | Redbak International

    XPS has higher Thermal and Moisture protection whereas EPS only offers Thermal protection There are important differences between the different offerings of XPS and EPS insulations. The former is available in Types IV, V, VI, VII, and X, all with minimum R-values of 5.0 per inch, and minimum compressive strengths ranging from 104 to 690 kPa (15 to 100 psi). EPS, on the other hand, comes in Types I, II, VIII, IV, XIV, and XV, with minimum R-values ranging from 3.6 to 4.3 per inch, and minimum compressive strengths ranging from 69 to 414 kPa (10 to 60 psi). ​ ASTM C578 requires XPS insulation allow no more than 0.3 percent water absorption (by volume), whereas EPS must allow no more than two to four percent water absorption (by volume), depending on the material type—this is six to 13 times more than XPS. This is because there are fundamental differences between the properties of XPS and EPS that are critical to understanding which material to specify for applications requiring high resistance to moisture intrusion. XPS is manufactured through an extrusion process. Essentially, a molten material is extruded through a die where it expands into a uniform closed-cell rigid foam insulation board with no voids or pathways for moisture to enter. EPS is manufactured with small foam beads placed in a mold and steam-expanded into a large form from which foam boards are cut. This method of manufacture can result in interconnected voices between the beads that can provide pathways for water to penetrate into the insulation. The water-resistance specifications for XPS and EPS in ASTM C578 are reflective of the physical structures of the two materials. ​ Why is moisture absorption resistance important? Water is an excellent conductor of heat—a fact illustrated by how people tend to feel cold (or at least cool off) when they get wet. This is the same concept with a building where the insulation absorbs moisture—any moisture absorbed by insulation can degrade that material’s R-value, negatively affecting energy savings and the comfort of those inside the building. ​ Source: https://www.constructionspecifier.com/selecting-polystyrene-foam-where-moisture-exposure-occurs/ XPS x EPS Science does not lie!

  • Green Buildings and Insulation | Redbak International

    The buildings of the future must meet new and different challenges. They must not contribute negatively to the global climate change. They must be built taking into consideration that our natural resources are gradually exhausting in a fast pace. ​ A green building uses less water, optimises energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupant, as compared to a conventional building ​ ​ At present, buildings consume 50% of the energy produced globally while industries consume 30% In OUR WORLD we have YOUR SOLUTION Why use insulation? Improper insulation can definitely have an impact on your heating and cooling costs, and can cost you quite a bit of money. The whole point of insulation is to keep buildings cool in summer and warm in winter. ​ ​ ​ ​ XPS is highly efficient at this, and can help reduce the amount of energy needed to maintain temperatures in buildings. ​ International published articles report regarding XPS Thermal Insulation used in slabs, walls and ceillings can have a saving of 40% in heating and cooling costs. In addition, it substantially cuts CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. T he most common components of a building’s envelope perform is just as important as its structural design functions…. but they do not always meet their true potential. ​ To that end, various types of plastic materials can help building owners achieve the efficiency they require. Extruded polystyrene (XPS) offers many benefits due to the way this product is manufactured. ​ It is energy-efficient, easy to install and lightweight, the specification of extruded polystyrene sheets allow the use of a single product to create a continuous layer of thermal and moisture protection on a building’s…. floors, walls and ceiling structures, thereby contributing to energy efficiency of a building. How is Extruded Polystyrene Created: Extruded polystyrene foam begins as solid granules of polystyrene resin. The plastic granules are fed into an extruder, where they are melted and mixed with critical additives to form a viscous fluid. Next, a blowing agent is injected to enable the plastic product’s expansion. Under carefully controlled heat and pressure conditions, the plastic mixture is forced through a die to produce the desired width and thickness, it then continues as one long length down a roller conveyor to cool under ambient temperature. ​ The long length of cooled extruded polystyrene is then trimmed to the final product dimensions (additionally length and width shiplap edges can added to the extruded polystyrene XPS boards). This continuous process produces the closed-cell structure with smooth top and bottom surfaces where required diamond embossed surfaces are also added to allow for better bonding to other product surfaces. The closed-cell structure of extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam imparts excellent long-term strength and durability. XPS Products are available in a range of compressive strengths to suit varied application needs. Due to its inherent physical properties, this strength does not depend on the use of facers or laminates, which can sometimes be compromised during installation. However, extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam faced-products are available to add extra strength when specified for a particular application. Extruded polystyrene can be manufactured in a wide variety of lengths, widths and thickness subject to the size of supplier’s extruders. XPS Energy efficiency Extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam sheathing can have positive energy and air emission benefits when used in residential buildings. A 2000 Franklin Associates’ study shows far more energy is saved over the 50-year life of a home properly using XPS foam insulation than is consumed by manufacturing the insulation. ​ Other studies, presented at the 2004 Earth Tech forum, show that after less than three years, more greenhouse gas emissions are avoided due to heating/cooling energy consumption than are emitted during the manufacture of extruded polystyrene foam insulating sheathing. ​ Properly installed extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam can also improve a building’s energy efficiency by providing a complete layer of insulation on the wall. This reduces air movement through the wall that can rob energy. Insulation between studs does not necessarily offer complete insulation value because wood studs and other framing members are not insulated. This phenomenon is called thermal bridging and can dramatically decrease thermal performance of the building. Since residential wood framing typically makes up about 25 percent of the wall area (taking into account window and door framing), a quarter of the wall is uninsulated when only cavity insulation is used. As such, extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam sheathing can provide insulating value to the entire wall area. Aside from its inherent insulating performance, extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam sheathing, when properly installed and seams taped, can also greatly reduce air leakage through walls, which can improve energy efficiency and comfort. ​ An essential attribute for sustainable building products, especially insulation, is the ability to function properly over its useful life without physical property performance degradation. In fact, good long-term insulation performance is needed to correctly design a building’s heating and air-conditioning systems. ​ Extruded polystyrene foam can also have advantages due to its ability to assist with moisture management, resisting both water absorption and freeze/thaw cycles. When traditional insulation absorbs water, its thermal performance can be compromised over time. ​ ​ Reduce, reuse, recycle Three strong environmental principles are to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Since extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam insulating sheathing can reduce energy loss in buildings, it can lower (i.e. reduce) the amount of energy (gas and electric) required to maintain comfortable living environments. ​ The more widespread the use of extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam insulating sheathing, the more profound its effect can be on reducing consumption of natural resources, such as coal, oil, and gas. ​ Polystyrene resin is a thermoplastic material, which means it can be melted and re-inserted (i.e. reused) into the manufacture of new extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam insulation. Extruded polystyrene manufacturing plants create virtually no scrap or waste materials because nearly 100 percent is recovered, ground up and re-pelletized for the production system (i.e. recycled). Some companies even seek outside sources of scrap polystyrene plastic resin to reuse.
