DUBLIN, March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "European Market for Thermal Insulation Products - Extruded Polystyrene - 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report examines the European market for thermal insulation products and their different uses in building and in industry, as well as identifying key trends impacting the industry.
Thermal Insulation Materials Overview
Various factors affect the type and amount of thermal insulation required. These can include:
- Climate
- Durability
- Ease of installation and replacement at end of life
- Cost effectiveness
- Toxicity
- Flammability
- Environmental impact and sustainability
- Energy efficiency
Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)
For extrusion, polystyrene with a high viscosity is most suitable, i.e., products with a melt volume index (MVI) of 200/5 in the lower end of the range between 1 and 7 ml/10min.
The physical properties of XPS mean that it can be used in board form in roofing, flooring and walling applications. The low moisture absorption of the material makes it ideal for use in cold storage facilities and refrigerated transport, where it is subjected to freeze/thaw cycles. The high compressive strength of the material also makes it ideal for load bearing applications. XPS does not rot and has relatively high thermal insulation properties.
Due to its cost, XPS tends to be used in specialist areas where its properties are specifically required.
