Polystyrene Resins  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Polystyrene a highly effective insulating material Polymerization processes for the production of polystyrene produce high-quality products that are widely used, for example, in thermal insulation. Polystyrene is obtained from the petroleum refinery product styrene. The easy and problem-free material is divided into expanded and extruded polystyrene.The expanded polystyrene (EPS) is the ideal insulation board that can be used for a wide variety of thermal insulation measures. EPS, recognisable by its white colouring, is very often used as full thermal insulation for façade cladding, for example. In the interior, expanded polystyrene in granulate material is very well suited as a fill under screeds to develop its good insulating properties. EPS is also an ideal insulating panel for floor slabs. Expanded polystyrene is easy and problem-free to process, relatively inexpensive, non-rotting and very resistant to all kinds of vermin. Br extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation boards, on the other hand, are more frequently used for thermal insulation in damp and wet areas. XPS, green or pink in many cases, is widely used in parts of swimming pools, on balconies and flat roofs, as well as for the sensible insulation of base areas. Extruded polystyrene sheets have a high compressive strength and are highly impermeable to moisture and moisture for suitable applications. The aging-resistant insulation boards are also virtually non-rotting, but not UV-resistant. Embrittlement or yellowing of the surface under the influence of sunlight is very difficult to prevent.
