Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives

Understand the properties of EPS

Describe the basics of ICF systems

Become familiar with applications for ICF tsystems

What is EPS?What is EPS?How does EPS compare to other insulations?

Closed cell thermal i l tiinsulation

Thermal plasticThermal plastic

Free of CFC, HFC, HCFC d f ld h dand formaldehyde

RecyclableRecyclable

EPS PerformanceEPS Performance

EPS closed cell structure reduces the absorption of moisture

SVapor can transmit through EPS to avoid trapping water in building construction

EPS is able to withstand the rigors of temperature cycling, assuring long termtemperature cycling, assuring long term performance

Expanded PolystyreneExpanded Polystyrene Environmental BenefitsEPS h l b f f CFC HFC dEPS has always been free of CFC, HFC, and HCFC blowing agents

EPS contains air

EPS does not suffer from Thermal driftEPS does not suffer from Thermal drift (loss of R-value over time)

EPS is recyclable
