Innovative Insulation
To help building owners reduce heating and cooling energy costs, Insulfoam now offers a new class of insulation: graphite polystyrene (GPS). Made with Neopor by BASF, a rigid foam that integrates high-purity graphite into the polymer matrix, the innovative insulation offers similar performance as extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation, but is more affordable. It also offers stable, long-term R-values and exceptional vapor permeability, making it a breathable insulation. The insulating R-values of Platinum GPS increase as the temperature decreases, so that the product performs even better when it is needed most. Insulfoam Platinum GPS insulation is suitable for a range of residential and commercial wall applications, including wall sheathing systems, continuous insulation, exterior insulation and finishing systems and stucco systems, precast or tilt-up walls, retrofit/remodel projects and structural insulated panels.
