European Market for Thermal Insulation Products 2017 with Focus on Expanded Polystyrene – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "The
European Market for Thermal Insulation Products – Eleventh Edition –
Expanded Polystyrene" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

This report covers the market for expanded polystyrene (EPS) thermal
insulation products in Europe and is drawn from the study set on The
European Market for Thermal Insulation Products. It updates the author's
last edition of the aforementioned study which was last published in
2017.

EPS is a relatively low cost material with excellent insulating
properties. Its lightweight nature means that it adds little to
structural weight, yet still offers high dimensional stability. The foam
is closed cell and therefore resistant to water penetration, although it
is not a water vapour barrier. EPS does not deteriorate, it is
non-toxic, non-irritant, and does not contain blowing agents. EPS has a
low thermal conductivity and therefore good thermal insulation
properties. Its chief disadvantages are its susceptibility to physical
damage, its flammability characteristics, and its low resistance to
chemical attack, including substances like dilute acids, alkalis,
methanol and i-propanol. EPS foam can also be used at extremely low
temperatures without any time restriction.
