Properties of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS):

Closed-Cell Lightweight Cellular Plastic

EPS is made up of tiny, closed-cell structures filled with air, making it lightweight yet strong. This structure provides excellent insulation and moisture resistance.

Flame/Fire Retardant

Many EPS products are manufactured with fire-retardant additives, making them self-extinguishing when exposed to flames. This improves safety, especially in construction and insulation applications.

Excellent Floatation Properties

Due to its closed-cell structure, EPS has exceptional buoyancy and is widely used in marine applications across Queensland, such as flotation devices, buoys, pontoons, and boat docks.

Shock Absorbing Properties

EPS is often used in protective packaging and cushioning due to its ability to absorb shocks and impacts, protecting fragile products during shipping and handling.

Low Environmental Impact

EPS is 100% recyclable and does not release harmful chemicals during its lifecycle. Additionally, its lightweight nature reduces fuel consumption during transportation, making it an eco-friendly choice in construction and packaging.

Benefits of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS):

Cost-Effective

EPS is affordable and widely available, making it a cost-effective material for insulation, construction, and packaging compared to alternatives like fiberglass or rigid polyurethane foam.

Easy to Use & Handle

Due to its lightweight nature, EPS sheets and blocks are easy to transport, cut, and shape, reducing labor costs and installation time.

Superior Thermal Insulation

EPS provides excellent thermal resistance (R-value), making it a preferred material for wall insulation, roofing, and flooring in buildings, helping reduce heating and cooling costs.

Water and Moisture Resistance

The closed-cell structure prevents water absorption, making EPS ideal for outdoor and underground applications, such as drainage systems, foundations, and flotation devices.

Versatile Applications

EPS is used across various industries, including construction, civil engineering, packaging, marine, signage, landscaping, and theming for movie sets. It can be custom-cut into different shapes and profiles, making it highly adaptable.

Durable & Long-Lasting

EPS does not rot, degrade, or break down over time, ensuring long-term performance in insulation and structural applications.

100% AUSTRALIAN MADE

Our IXPE Formshield rolls are proudly Australian made, manufactured to Australian Standards.

FIRE RESISTANT

IXPE foam rolls (Formshield) is an effective insulation against heat transfer. It meets the fire hazard rating AS1530.3 for the building code of Australia. It reduces and absorbs the transmission of heat, noise and vibration. 

WATER RESISTANT

Formshield IXPE is a moisture barrier, it has a high resistance to detergents, dilute acids and alkalis, alcohols, ketones, esters, fungi. It is resistant to water absorption and being impervious to water. Being closed cell, it has very low water absorption, the low moisture absorbance tolerates wet environments.

Perfect for underground thermal pipework

Our application was to wrap and thermally enhance our underground PVC heated pipes. It works fantastically well.!

Hi Marty, thank you for taking the time to review, and we are glad IXPE foam rolls were exactly what you needed! - The Foam Co Team

Insulation Foam

I am using this foam for insulation of an aluminium sailing catamaran. It has the necessary fire rating plus is flexible enough to fit to the hull. I am using 2 layers of 20mm IXPE foam to create a noise and thermal barrier inside the boat. The fact that this is closed cell foam gives the boat reserve buoyancy - in this case nearly 5000kg!

Thank you James for your positive review on the IXPE rolls. We are glad these worked out for your project - The Foam Co Team
