THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
CONTRIBUTION OF THE COMPONENTS TO THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY

cellgas radiation

70% 20%

solid parts
During a continous diffusion process there is an exchange of gases. The cell gas
contains less and less blowing agent and more air. While the λ- value of the air is higher
than the λ- value of the blowing agent gas, the value of the thermal conductivity is
increasing up to a lim it value. The declared aged value is the reference value of the
lam bda reflected to the estimated life-
life- term of the product (50 years).

SPECIFICATION OF XPS VS. COM PETITION

Application Chance to be specified/sold

Inverted roof HIGH,, few alternatives

HIGH
Conventional flat roof low, alternatives available (EPS)
Pitched roof low, alternatives available (MF)
Perimeter HIGH,, few alternatives
HIGH
Floors (heavy loaded) HIGH,, few alternatives
HIGH
External walls low, alternatives available (EPS)
Cavity walls low, alternatives available (EPS, MF)

Soil / roads economic situation

In applications where XPS has a strong comp. adv.

(i.e. compr. strength, water resistance, stability)
project losses are minimal.
