General Information

• Extruded polystyrene is produced from polystyrene, by extrusion.
• It can be manufactured in the form of board in different size, edge and surface shape and with different compressive strength, according to the intented use and the place of use.
• It is used for thermal insulation.
• It is produced in the plants that hold the ISO 9001 Quality Management System, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health & Safety Management System and ISO 50001 Energy Management System certificates provided by Bureau Veritas.
• Izocam Foamboard products that are subject to TS 11989 – 1 EN 13164, hold the CE mark according to the Construction Products Directive (305/2011/AB).
• Its declared thermal conductivity is λ ≤ 0,035 W/mK. (at 10°C)
• Depending on the declared thermal conductivity values, Izocam Foamboard products are in the thermal conductivity group of 030 and 035.
• Water vapour diffusion resistance factor μ = 90 - 100.
• The temperature of use is between -50/+75°C.
• It has a 100% closed porous cell structure that keeps the water out.
• It does not have a capillary absorbency.
• It has high compressive strength.
• Even though it is resistant to acidic and basic chemicals, it is sensitive to chimney gases, methane group gases and chemicals of gasoline group, ether and amine group.
• It is sensitive to ultra violet (UV) rays of the sun. It should be protected from direct sun light.
• It is classified as “E” with respect to TS EN 13501-1.
