Dow styrofoam insulation blue board is a nonstructural rigid board insulation manufactured of extruded polystyrene foam xps.
Has excellent insulating characteristics high resistance to water and water vapor exceptional compressive strength and long term durability.
As insulators pink and blue boards perform virtually identically with an insulating value of r 5 per inch of thickness.
This material offers the highest r values about r 6 to 6 5.
Blue board can be used both on exterior and interior walls to give you a continuous insulation barrier that can increase effective r value of the wall by up to 20.
2 in x 4 ft x 8 ft.
It provides about r 5 per inch.
Products with foil facing help the panels resist moisture vapor.
Styrofoam brand scoreboard extruded polystyrene foam insulation is an extruded polystyrene foam insulation board that is scored longitudinally on 16 and 24 centers making it easy to size to commonly used widths cut and install.
Choose this option for areas that need a good amount of strength and water resistance.
Since its discovery in 1941 styrofoam brand xps insulation has a long and rich heritage as a sustainable building product insulating to meeting core thermal moisture air and vapor performance requirements through its rigid foam board technology.
Working with home insulation boards.
Pink and blue rigid foam insulation boards are made from polystyrene resin that is melted and then forced through a die to form it into the desired shape.
Foamular 250 extruded polystyrene xps provides continuous insulation in insulated concrete sandwich panel walls in masonry unit cavity walls or when used with non penetrating surface mounted furring systems over masonry or concrete walls.
Specially designed and formulated insulation products from dow are available to help meet specific application needs.
