PlastiSpan® 25
PlastiSpan® 25 insulation is a Type IX, closed cell expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation. With an R-value of 4.4 @75 F and 4.8 @40 F per inch PlastiSpan 25 has a compressive resistance of 25 psi. The closed cell structure of PlastiSpan 25 insulation resists water absorption so it will retain its R-value even in applications where severe temperature differentials occur.
PlastiSpan 25 insulation’s minimum compressive resistance of 25 psi makes it ideal to insulate low temperature freezer floors or for use in other applications where moderate loads are expected. By incorporating PlastiSpan 25 insulation into your project as a continuous insulation solution, you are able to eliminate thermal bridging; increasing your total effective RSI/R-value, effectively reducing energy costs and increasing your energy savings.
