How is GPS Insulation "Super Charged?”
This new innovative Graphite Polystyrene (GPS) insulation product has infused high-purity graphite particles into the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) cell structure which gives the insulation its distinctive dark grey color. The graphite particles reflect and absorb energy and significantly improves insulation capacity by up to 30%. As an example, as radiant heat moves through the Neopor insulation, it reflects it hundreds of times inside the cells wall, significantly slowing down the transfer of heat and making it more energy efficient.
R-Value
Graphite Polystyrene Insulation Advantage
- Can be used anywhere that tradition EPS was used Roofing, EIFS, Below-Grade, Walls, Liners, Siding, Coolers, ICFs, SIPs and GeoFoam
- Reduce board thickness by 30% to attain required R-Value
- When the temperature goes down the R-Value increases and you get more efficiency out of your insulation when you need it most
- EPS, "the Safe Insulation" is manufactured without the use of CFC and HCFC which provides a healthy, safer environment for our children
- The R-Value stays stable over time and you actually get what you pay for
- Custom shapes and sizes as it is molded vs extruded
- Very Low moisture absorption and is great for below applications as well (Class III Vapor Permeable)
- EPS is lightweight, easy to install, durable, and resistant to rotting, mold and mildew.
Cost • Higher R-Value • Stability
Graphite Polystyrene is Powerful Insulation
Most rigid foam insulation fail badly when exposed to water. From the graphs above Graphite Polystyrene performs well when it comes to moisture management. GPS as ideal insulation has the ability to shed excess water and allow water to pass through.
