Why Choose XPS Building Materials?

In the realm of modern construction and insulation, XPS building materials stand out as a superior choice. Renowned for its exceptional thermal performance, durability, and versatility, XPS has become an integral component in various building applications. At Feininger, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality XPS building materials that meet the diverse needs of our clients.

XPS building materials is a rigid foam plastic board made from polystyrene resin as the main component. It is extruded and molded by heating, mixing, and injecting a catalyst. Widely used in construction for its excellent thermal resistance and moisture resistance properties, XPS stands out from other insulation materials due to its uniformity and closed-cell structure. This structure gives it higher compressive strength and better insulation capabilities.

1. Thermal Insulation Performance: When comparing the insulation performance of EPS (expanded polystyrene) and XPS (extruded polystyrene) of the same thickness, XPS consistently outperforms EPS. The thermal conductivity of EPS is 0.041, whereas XPS has a thermal conductivity of 0.030. Therefore, to achieve the same insulation effect, XPS boards can be thinner than EPS boards.

2. Compressive Strength: XPS is durable and can withstand heavy loads without deformation, making it ideal for use in load-bearing applications.

3. Moisture Resistance: The closed-cell structure of XPS board also gives it excellent water resistance, and it can still maintain good compressive strength (500KPA) even after soaking for 24 hours, which makes it very suitable for long-term load environments such as airport runways and highways.

4. Lightweight: Despite its strength, XPS is lightweight and easy to handle, which simplifies the installation process.

5. Longevity: XPS has a long lifespan and maintains its insulation properties over time, providing lasting performance.

6. Convenience of construction: XPS board is lightweight and easy to install, which can reduce time and cost during construction. At the same time, its smooth surface is conducive to the sliding of the outer leaf wall panel to avoid cracking.

The production of XPS involves a specialized extrusion process that results in a consistent and high-quality foam board.

1. Raw Material Preparation: The primary raw material for XPS is polystyrene resin. Additives such as blowing agents, fire retardants, and colorants are also prepared.

2. Extrusion: The polystyrene resin and additives are fed into an extruder, where they are melted and mixed thoroughly. The mixture is then forced through a die to form a continuous sheet of foam.

3. Expansion and Cooling: As the foam exits the die, the blowing agent causes it to expand into a foam board. The board is then cooled to stabilize its structure.

4. Cutting and Shaping: The cooled foam board is cut into desired shapes and sizes, ready for packaging and distribution.

The versatility of XPS makes it suitable for a wide range of applications in the construction industry. Here are some common uses:

1. External Wall Insulation: XPS extruded polystyrene boards are widely used in the external wall insulation systems of construction projects due to their excellent thermal insulation performance and stability. These materials not only provide superior thermal insulation but also possess high compressive strength and fire resistance characteristics.

2. Roof Insulation: XPS boards are also commonly used for roof insulation in buildings. Through on-site spraying processes, a continuous, seamless shell can be formed on the roof, effectively eliminating thermal bridges and achieving integrated insulation and waterproofing functions.

3. Cold Storage Insulation: In cold storage buildings, XPS boards play a crucial role. Their closed-cell structure and honeycomb-like internal composition provide excellent thermal insulation, effectively preventing heat loss from the cold storage interior.

4. Foundation Waterproofing: In infrastructure construction such as highways and airport runways, XPS boards are used as foundation waterproofing layers. Their closed-cell structure and waterproof properties effectively prevent moisture penetration, thereby extending the lifespan of the infrastructure.

5. Underfloor Heating: In home renovation, XPS boards are used for underfloor heating systems. Their outstanding thermal insulation properties improve the efficiency of the heating system while reducing energy consumption.

6. Plaza Ground Parking Platforms: In the construction of some plaza ground parking platforms, XPS boards are used to control ground frost heave issues, ensuring the stability and safety of the ground.

7. Roof Gardens: In the construction of roof gardens, XPS boards are used as an insulation layer. They not only provide excellent thermal insulation but also increase the load-bearing capacity of the roof.
