What are the materials of insulation board

2020.06.15

The easy-to-understand insulation board is the board for building insulation, including EPS, XPS, polyurethane board, phenolic board, glass wool board, rock wool board and other materials. Do you know what these insulation boards are and what are the differences? Green feather floor heating insulation board floor heating insulation board XPS EPS polyurethane.

EPS (also known as polystyrene foam board)
The EPS board is a white object made of expandable polystyrene beads containing a volatile liquid foaming agent and heated and molded in a mold after heating in advance. It has a fine closed-cell structure. Common in life, the kind of white foam used to buy refrigerators, computers and other electrical packaging is EPS material, high-density EPS is a common floor heating insulation material.

XPS (also known as extruded board)
The full name of extruded board is called extruded polystyrene foam board for heat insulation. It is a rigid foam plastic board manufactured by using polystyrene resin as a raw material plus other auxiliary materials, after heating and mixing, and extrusion molding. XPS has a perfect closed-cell honeycomb structure. This structure allows XPS boards to have extremely low water absorption, low thermal conductivity, high compression resistance and aging resistance (there is almost no aging decomposition during normal use). It is a special material for floor heating insulation.

Polyurethane board (referred to as PU)
Polyurethane is a type of polymer that contains urethane-type repeating structural units in the macromolecular chain, and is called polyamino acid ester. PU is a product reflected by polyisocyanate and polyether or polyester polyol at a certain ratio. Polyurethane board refers to a polyurethane sandwich panel made entirely of PU or a composite of PU and color steel plate. It is mainly used in industrial and civil building exterior insulation systems. Green feather floor heating insulation board floor heating insulation board XPS EPS polyurethane

Phenolic Foam Board
The phenolic board is made of phenolic foam material. The phenolic foam material is a polymer organic rigid aluminum foil foam product. It is foamed from a thermosetting phenolic resin. Phenolic insulation board is currently widely used in developed countries. Green feather floor heating insulation board floor heating insulation board XPS EPS polyurethane

Rock wool board
Basalt is the main raw material. The artificial inorganic fibers processed by high-temperature melting of rock wool board have the characteristics of light weight, small thermal conductivity, heat absorption and non-combustibility. Generally used for exterior wall insulation. Green feather floor heating insulation board floor heating insulation board XPS EPS polyurethane

Glass wool board
Glass wool is a glass wool roll felt made by melting glass and fibrillating, and then curing by adding a binder. The diameter of the glass wool fiber depends on the centrifugal extrusion technology. Glass wool panels are used in building insulation, thermal insulation, sound absorption, noise reduction, industrial furnace insulation; interlayers of steel insulation boards.
