Multi-purpose STYROFOAMâ„¢ Brand SM Insulation Extruded Polystyrene is especially suited for foundations, slabs, crawl spaces, interior basements, geotechnical and other in-ground insulation applications. The Type 4 extruded polystyrene foam insulation helps protect foundation damp-proofing and waterproofing, especially during backfilling and provides a secondary barrier against groundwater leakage.
STYROFOAM™ Brand SM Insulation also provides energy-efficient performance in many other types of commercial and residential applications, including attics and ceilings.

(1) Not all product sizes are available in all regions. (2) R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value or RSI (R-Value Système Internationale), the greater the insulating power. R-values are expressed in ft2• h•°F/Btu. RSI values are expressed in m2 °C/W. R-value determined by ASTM C518. (3) Vertical compressive strength is measured at 10% deformation or at yield, whichever occurs first. |

(1) Not all product sizes are available in all regions. (2) R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value or RSI (R-Value Système Internationale), the greater the insulating power. R-values are expressed in ft2• h•°F/Btu. RSI values are expressed in m2°C/W. R-value determined by ASTM C518. (3) Vertical compressive strength is measured at 10% deformation (5% for STYROFOAM™ Brand HIGHLOAD 40, 60 and 100 Insulation products) or at yield, whichever occurs first. Since STYROFOAM™ Brand Extruded Polystyrene products are visco-elastic materials, adequate design safety factors should be used to prevent long-term creep. For static loads, 3:1 is suggested. For dynamic loads, 5:1 is suggested. |
