Dow styrofoam insulation blue board is a nonstructural rigid board insulation manufactured of extruded polystyrene foam xps.

Dow extruded polystyrene rigid insulation.

Since its discovery in 1941 styrofoam brand xps insulation has a long and rich heritage as a sustainable building product insulating to meeting core thermal moisture air and vapor performance requirements through its rigid foam board technology. Owens corning foamular 250 extruded polystyrene xps rigid foam insulation is a closed cell highly moisture resistant rigid foam board well suited to meet the needs for a wide variety of residential and commercial construction applications. Blue board can be used both on exterior and interior walls to give you a continuous insulation barrier that can increase effective r value of the wall by up to 20. Expanded polystyrene insulation is less expensive than extruded polystyrene but it is also more fragile and is a less effective insulator.

Products provide superior insulating properties. Owens corning foamular 150 extruded polystyrene insulation is ideal for wall furring perimeter foundation cavity wall crawlspace sheathing and other applications not approved for roofing. All purpose foam panel insulation for masonry and other applications. For static loads 3 1 is suggested.

For dynamic loads 10 1 is suggested. 3 based on 1 25 mm thickness. Styrofoam brand foam by dow typically referred to as blue board is the best known extruded polystyrene insulation on the market today. Foamular 250 product data sheet pdf v 1593673075000 1 45 mb.

Since styrofoam brand extruded polystyrene foam insulations are visco elastic materials adequate design safety factors should be used to prevent long term creep and fatigue deformation. Since styrofoam brand extruded polystyrene foam insulations are visco elastic materials adequate design safety factors should be used to prevent long term creep and fatigue deformation. Styrofoam brand highload extruded polystyrene foam insulation is a closed cell foam insulation designed for use in runways and other heavy weight infrastructure. Polyisocyanurate panels also called iso panels consist of a rigid foam core sandwiched between foil or fiberglass facings.
