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
