Styrotex as
Thermal Insulation
Research has shown that energy efficiency initiatives in the building sector are amongst the most cost-effective measures available for policymakers seeking to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Increasing their insulation levels can reduce the energy requirements of buildings. Styrotex is a versatile durable material that offers excellent insulation properties. The structure of Styrotex consists of 98% air and its thermal properties are maintained throughout its working life. Styrotex is primarily used as an effective thermal insulation material for:
-
walls
-
roofs
-
floors
-
pipe and vessel insulation (lagging)
More about thermal / pipe / tank insulation:
One of the many uses for our EPS is for pipe insulation in industrial buildings where a constant supply of cold or chilled water is required. EPS is used for Sectional Pipe Insulation (SPI) due to its lightweight, exceptional insulating properties, and resistance to the adverse effects of moisture and temperature. We create pipe sections for use in commercial and industrial locations for chilled and cold-water lines.
Because EPS (expanded polystyrene) is mostly air, it makes an excellent insulator. The thousands of air pockets create an effective and economical thermal barrier as well as being very stable.
EPS makes for excellent roofing insulation. EPS is routinely used for commercial and residential roof insulation. EPS is also used in large industrial buildings, sized to fit between trusses.
With compression strengths ranging from 10 psi to 60 psi for EPS, any floor load requirements can be accommodated.
