Thermal Insulation: Polystyrene
Performance. Installation. Durability. Dow Building Materials is a leader in extruded polystyrene insulation. In fact, we invented STYROFOAM™ extruded polystyrene insulation. Today, we have a science-based insulating solution for your commercial application.
Whether it's the foam's closed cell structure, unique slots and grooves that ease installation, or specialized facings for extra durability, added R-value, and moisture resistance, you'll appreciate the superior performance of STYROFOAM insulation products.
STYROFOAM™ extruded polystyrene pipe insulation is a rigid thermoplastic foam manufactured by a proprietary extrusion process that forms a uniform, void-free, closed cell structure. This structure, along with the naturally water-repellent nature of the polystyrene resin, gives STYROFOAM insulation products high compressive strength, low friability and excellent resistance to water vapor and water absorption from freezethaw cycling. STYROFOAM pipe insulation is nondusting and nonirritating, and is not a known food source for mold and mildew. DATA SHEET: View Need MSDS SHEET: View |

STYROFOAM™ CLADMATE™ and STYROFOAM CLADMATE XL extruded polystyrene insulation are designed for use in walls and attics of new and retrofit applications. They reduce thermal bridging by insulating the entire wall including the wood studs. This decreases the potential for condensation within the wall cavity that can lead to moisture problems in the walls. The boards (over .5") have shiplapped edges that reduce air infiltration.

STYROFOAM™ Highload extruded polystyrene insulation is a closed-cell foam insulation. Available in compressive strengths of 40, 60 or 100 psi, STYROFOAM Highload insulation features superior moisture resistance and R-value (RSI) retention. All three STYROFOAM Highload insulation products resist compressive creep and fatigue, delivering long-term compressive strength. Like all STYROFOAM insulation products, STYROFOAM Highload 40, 60 and 100 are durable, versatile and reusable – making them the preferred choices for a variety of high-load applications.
