Polystyrene Insulation
Polystyrene is an excellent Insulation; it is thermally superior to many other products on the market.
It has great properties that many other insulation products do not display.
It is efficient and cost effective and has: Strength, flexible, will not sag over time, excellent for hot and cold temperatures, a non-food source for rodents or
insects, with excellent moisture resistance.
Polystyrene is a durable product and does not degrade over time.
API Polystyrene is made to Australian Standards and can be used in emperatures of minus 40 Deg in cold rooms or up to 80 Deg in drying ovens.
API Expanded Polystyrene is the insulation for the ages.
- API polystyrene is manufactured to Australian Standard AS1366part 3-1992.
- Wall, Ceiling, Underfloor, Designed to fit unevenly spaced joists & studs.
- EPS foiled sheeting, Various thicknesses & lengths.
- EPS pipe insulation, Plain & foiled, High density Poly, Used underneath Hydronic heating.
What is Expanded polystyrene?
API Expanded Polystyrene, or EPS for short, is a lightweight, rigid, economical & versatile plastic foam insulation.
Produced from tiny solid beads of polystyrene that when expanded up to 40 times using steam ends up comprising of 98% air.
With a very high strength to weight ratio offers exceptional compressive and flexural strength and dimensional stability.
EPS It can be shaped to any designs and requirements.
The Benefits and Features of EPS
Used in a range of industries like Architects, civil engineers, builders, packaging companies, creative designers,
concreters.
Insulation, building applications (including wall cladding), road and bridge works, Marine Engineering (flotation), packaging, creative art works in theme parks and on buildings.
- API Polystyrene has a Fire Retardant added during the manufacturing stage to reduce the risk of fire.
- Insulation - API has specific insulation products for the building industry.
- High R values, compared to many other products.
