Applications of Extruded Polystyrene Insulation
[US Masterbatch] Extruded Polystyrene Insulation (XPS Insulation) is a rigid foam insulation material widely used in modern construction and infrastructure projects. It is manufactured through an extrusion process in which polystyrene resin is melted and mixed with additives and blowing agents to form a continuous foam structure with closed cells. Thanks to its closed-cell structure,…
