Eps Structural Foam

Except for the far west and southwest states.

Eps structural foam.

Eps structural foam foundation blocks are an excellent affordable solution for creating building foundations. By working with rather than against these forces eps geofoam gives engineers more flexible solutions to construction challenges. Insulfoam gf eps geofoam is a lightweight geo synthetic fill material used as an alternative to various fill materials as a soil stabilizer and in various engineered applications. Eps foam is the correct term for any form of expanded polystyrene.

Geofoam consists of closed cell expanded polystyrene eps and meets or exceeds the requirements of astm d6817 standard specification for rigid cellular polystyrene geofoam. With an independent dealer network of over 400 professional builders eps serves all of the u s. Expanded polystyrene insulation is a lightweight rigid closed cell insulation. This closed cell structure provides minimal water absorption and low vapor permanence.

Structural fill liteform provides custom and standard rigid eps foam for use in many construction applications. Our products are produced in varying thickness and density. Geofoam is a lightweight fill in compliance with astm d6817 that gives you control over your geotechnical project. The use of geofoam in earthworks and structural applications provides the benefit of reducing both vertical and lateral pressures on below grade structures.

Because of the advantages of polyurethane over eps foam especially when it comes to the highest r value fire safety and moisture absorption thermocore chooses to only manufacture polyurethane foam core panels. Soil creates nearly 40 pcf of lateral pressure. Eps is available in several compressive strengths to withstand load and back fill forces. Eps foam foundation blocks are made from a different material than the more commonly known styrofoam or extruded polystyrene.

Simply send us your design plans and we can assist you with a foam solution. Eps geofoam products help reduce and absorb the impacts of naturally occurring forces such as gravity and earthquakes rather than trying to strengthen or stiffen a structure to resist the forces. Eps manufactures pre engineered building components designed for post frame construction structural insulated panels and refrigerated and freezer structures. Eps foam used create the stone walls and the backdrops for their production eps foam trays for hydroponic and aquaponic gardening 4 foot tall styrofoam snowman for a photo shoot.

From design and timelines to materials and costs and ultimately control over your results. Most structural insulated panels sips on the market today use two types of foam polyurethane or expanded polystyrene eps.
