Granules polystyrene (EPS)

For correct and effective warming it is necessary to choose polyfoam of the corresponding mark and density, according to loadings and the project. For high-quality thermal insulation of facades, we strongly recommend the use of foam with a density of 12.5-18 kg / m3 (EPS 60 - EPS 100), 15-25 cm thick. For thermal insulation of floors on the ground, foundations, socles, flat and pitched roofs it is necessary to choose polyfoam with a density of 15-35 kg / m3 (EPS 80 - EPS 250), 15-35 cm thick. You can read more about the recommendations for the use of brands in the "Application" section directly on the page of each brand of foam.

The main differences between the types of polystyrene available on our market relate mainly to its most important indicator - the thermal conductivity λ (lambda), the value of which is in the range from 0.045 to 0.031 W / mK. The lower the value of the coefficient λ, the better the insulating properties of polystyrene. Also important are other parameters of polystyrene, such as: tensile strength, flexural strength or compressive strength. One of the main factors of Eurobud's openness and honesty is the placement on each package of readable information about the product parameters. They are presented in the form of a table showing the main properties, such as the minimum density of the product in kg / m³, compressive strength (CS), flexural strength (BS), tensile strength (TR) and the declared thermal conductivity indicated by the symbol λD.

Yes! Definitely important! Information on the density of polystyrene is not required by regulations and is not standard on the package. However, this indicator determines the quality of the product. Eurobud places density on packaging to ensure that its consumer buys quality, safe and durable polystyrene. Additional labeling not only facilitates the choice of the right polystyrene foam, but also gives everyone the opportunity to check whether the product meets the stated parameters.

No! The structure of expanded polystyrene plates of TM Eurobud includes flame retardant which provides self-extinguishing of material after influence on it of open fire. All our products correspond to the flammability group G1 - self-extinguishing materials.

YES! Eurobud on the basis of the State Research Institute of Building Structures has officially confirmed the term of effective operation of foam without loss of primary properties for at least 50 years.

No! Mice do not eat insulation foam. The foam does not contain any nutrients for rodents. Accordingly, Styrofoam boards are not food for mice. With the right and competent choice of material and quality insulation work, this question will never bother you.

No, not harmful! Foam does not emit toxic substances, so it is safe to use and does not harm your health. Moreover, polyfoam is an environmentally friendly product. Eurobud products have passed an independent expert assessment of compliance with environmental standards at all stages of the life cycle: from raw materials to finished goods, and confirmed by the Ukrainian eco-label "Green Crane"
