PlastiSpan® 30
PlastiSpan® 30 insulation is a closed cell expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation that meets the requirements of CAN/ULC-S701, Standard for Thermal Insulation, Polystyrene, Boards and Pipe Covering and ASTM C578, Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation.
PlastiSpan 30 insulation’s minimum compressive resistance of 30 psi makes it ideal to insulate low temperature freezer floors or for use in other applications where moderate loads are expected. By incorporating PlastiSpan 30 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.
The closed cell structure of PlastiSpan 30 insulation resists water absorption so it will retain its R-value even in applications where severe temperature differentials occur. PlastiSpan 30 insulation has a range of compressive resistance values which makes it ideal to insulating floors, foundations or any application where heavy loads are expected.
