Expanded polystyrene, or EPS for
short, is a simple material with a unique combination of qualities. It offers
high resistance to the passage of heat energy, making it a very effective
insulator. It is also economical, offering high R-value per dollar.
The basic TRUEFOAM manufacturing process begins with tiny spherical beads of
polystyrene. To form TRUEFOAM EPS, the beads are expanded and consolidated in a
process of steam heating and pressure treatment. Blown up to as much as 40 times
their original diameter, the beads are fused by pressure into huge blocks of
EPS. Over a curing period, normal air replaces the blowing agent in the foam
cells, and any residual moisture from the steam evaporates.
TRUEFOAM EPS insulation resists the passage of water, yet it "breathes." Vapour
passes through. This avoids condensation buildup within walls, a serious problem
which can arise with some other insulation systems. And because of the rigid
closed-cell structure of EPS, there is no possibility of the kind of air
movement inside the wall which can lead to heat loss in loose or blanket
materials.
