What is extruded board and what are its advantages?
5/13/20245 min read
Extruded board is also known as XPS board, full name of extruded polystyrene foam board. On his surface, there is a uniform hard film covering, which is also relatively flat. Inside, both closed pores and foam are evenly arranged, forming a honeycomb structure. This gives the extruded board the characteristics of high compression resistance, lightweight, non absorbent, non breathable but wear-resistant, and resistant to degradation.

Glass Wool Insulation
Polystyrene foam plastic can be divided into two types: expandable EPS and continuous extrusion XPS. Compared with EPS board, XPS board is the third generation of hard foam insulation material. Technically, it overcomes the complicated production process of EPS board and has superior performance that EPS board cannot replace. Due to its unique characteristics, it has excellent performance in strength, waterproofing, insulation, and other aspects. At the same time, it can also have different pressures (150-500Kpa) and have the same low thermal conductivity (only 0.028W/M.K) and long-lasting excellent insulation and compression performance, with a compressive strength of 220-500Kpa.

1. Excellent thermal insulation
Generally, building materials need to determine their purpose and application direction based on their thermal conductivity. This product has the characteristics of high heat resistance and low linear expansion, indicating that it is more suitable for various insulation systems, such as cold storage and wind insulation measures for northern residential buildings. The ability to achieve such an effect depends entirely on its thermal conductivity being less than or equal to 0.028w/mk, which is much lower than other insulation materials.
2. Excellent high-strength compression resistance
XPS extruded panels have high compressive strength, such as a compressive strength of 350KPa at a density less than 40kg/cubic meter. With such excellent impact resistance, the scope of use has further expanded, and it is now widely used in fields such as geothermal engineering, highways, airport runways, square ground, large cold storage, and interior decoration insulation.
3. High quality hydrophobic and moisture-proof
The water absorption of a material also determines its usage, such as the high water absorption of sponge, which is not suitable for moisture-proof use or as an insulation tool. On the other hand, extruded panels are different. They can not only serve as insulation materials, but also effectively waterproof and moisture-proof due to their complete closed cell structure, which effectively prevents the penetration of water molecules and provides protection for water leakage, condensation, and freezing/thawing cycles. Thanks to its non hydrophilicity, to a certain extent, it can achieve the same lifespan as the building being used.
4. Lightweight and convenient to use
Due to its low weight ratio, the transportation process is more convenient. In addition, it is easy to cut and can be cut into the required size for use. The fixing method is also relatively simple, and can be fixed using iron sheets, iron wire plastic adhesive polymer mortar, which to some extent reduces problems during the construction process and can effectively reduce construction costs.
5. Good stability and corrosion resistance
XPS extruded insulation board has a closed cell structure and stable performance, coupled with its decomposition resistance, it will not undergo mold and has good corrosion resistance. Even after 30-40 years of use, XPS extruded insulation board can still maintain excellent performance without decomposition or mold, and there is no volatilization of toxic substances.
Applicable scope:
On the one hand, it is reflected in our daily life, such as being widely used for wall insulation, flat concrete roofs, and steel structure roof insulation. Believe my friends in the north, have you seen insulation boards outside bungalows?
On the other hand, it is reflected in the moisture-proof and thermal insulation of low-temperature storage floors, parking platforms, airport runways, highways, and other fields.
From this, it can be seen that extruded polystyrene boards have entered people's lives, filling every corner and exerting their unique abilities. They provide intangible guarantees for people's lives.
