StarRFoam may be a high-quality expanded vinylbenzene (EPS) that may be a light-weight, closed-cell, rigid, plastic foam insulation material created from solid beads of vinylbenzene.
Most people don’t know thatthe foam cups they have at theirdrinking station or the small packing peanuts used for wrapping are all made ofa substance called Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), which most people think of asstyrofoam. Although it is also a type of styrofoam, EPS is created by expandingthe polystyrene beads with steam and pressure and then gluing them together toform blocks and other shapes.
The material is most often manufactured into continuousinsulation or home insulation products. It is also used in coolers, wineshippers, molded end caps and corners and even cups and packaging materials.
On the other hand, Styrofoam has been used to characterizesomething composed of a solid, foamy, usually white material that reveals thebeads tightly connected to them as they are split. This is made of extrudedpolystyrene and is resistant to moisture due to its closed-cell construction.
Due to this feature, the patented material is mainly formed intopanels called blue boards and used in wall and floor insulation design and roofinsulation systems. It is most frequently used in the floral, design, and eventsectors.
Several businesses offer a wide range of Expanded Polystyrene(EPS) foam products, moldinghard material into balls, sheets, blocks, spheres,and cones that can be used for home insulation, art, special occasions, andother industries.
If the project needs a material to have specific r-values andwhere compression strength is essential, it’s ideal to use Expanded Polystyrene(EPS) rather than Styrofoam, such as for large-scale building projects.
Whatever the choice may be, StarRFoam's range of continuousinsulation productsare among the best in the industry. It’s one of thefirst choices for home builders and suppliers alike. Unlike other rigidinsulation products, StarRFoam's range of products does not suffer fromdegrading r-value over time and maintains a stable r-value over the life of theproduct.
