PS Wall Panel For Europe Market

Polystyrene wallboards usually refer to building materials made of polystyrene (PS) as the main raw material, mainly including EPS boards (molded polystyrene foam boards) and XPS boards (extruded polystyrene foam boards). They are widely used in the construction industry for wall insulation, roof insulation, floor insulation, and sound insulation and waterproofing of some special structures.
The following is a brief description of these two types of polystyrene wallboards:
1. EPS board (molded polystyrene foam board):
• EPS board is made of expandable polystyrene beads containing volatile liquid foaming agent, which are heated and pre-foamed in a mold and then heated and formed. It is characterized by a fine closed-cell structure, light texture, low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal insulation performance, and relatively low cost.
• EPS board is easy to cut and convenient for on-site processing. It is often used in external insulation systems and can also be used as insulation materials for temporary buildings or cold storage.
• XPS board (extruded polystyrene foam board):
• XPS board is a continuous closed-cell rigid foam plastic board produced by extrusion process. Compared with EPS, XPS has higher compression strength and moisture resistance, lower thermal conductivity, and is more suitable for thermal insulation in underground or humid environments.
• XPS board has a smoother surface, good dimensional stability, and is not easy to deform after long-term use. Therefore, it is more suitable for some high-standard energy-saving buildings and occasions with high requirements for thermal insulation performance.
Common advantages:
• Good thermal insulation performance, effectively improving building energy efficiency.
• Lightweight, reducing building load.
• Simple construction, easy to cut and fix. • Has certain sound absorption and moisture resistance.
Application precautions:
• When using polystyrene wallboards as insulation materials, it is necessary to pay attention to its fire resistance level and safety specifications, because polystyrene itself is a flammable material.
