DuPont™ Styrofoam™ Brand XPS Insulation is transitioning to a reduced GWP grey color in Canada and select U.S. states.
Low-Temp Floor Insulation
The new leader of the pack:
Introducing the new DuPont™ Styrofoam™ Brand ST-100 Series XPS Insulation
The Styrofoam™ Brand ST-100 Series has been formulated to meet sustainability goals for climate action regulations in U.S. states. But some things remain unchanged: these new XPS products offer the same high performance and long-term value under the same Styrofoam™ product names with ST-100 descriptor – so there’s no need to change your specifications.
Starting in 2021, newly formulated Styrofoam™ Brand ST-100 insulation foam produced for HFC regulated U.S. states is grey in color and approved for building applications as described in new ICC-ESR 4755

Advantages:
• are easy to handle, cut using a utility knife or serrated blade and install
• provide a weather resistant barrier to enhance the building’s resistance to air and moisture penetration
• can be used in a number of applications like sheathing, foundation walls, masonry cavity walls, and more
• come in a wide selection of sizes and thicknesses
• have a minimum compressive strength of 25 psi and a flexural strength of 50 psi
• are designed to help ensure energy efficiency and minimize on-site cutting and waste
• are resistant to degradation from soil components and will retain insulating performance characteristics after prolonged exposure to moisture
• provide a secondary barrier against groundwater leakage
• help protect foundation dampproofing and waterproofing, especially during backfilling
• minimize the freeze-thaw cycling of the foundation, reducing the potential for cracking
• warm the foundation, reducing the potential for condensation
• will not corrode, rot or support mold growth

FREEZERMATE™ XPS Insulation
FREEZERMATE™ Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) foam insulation a STYROFOAM™ Brand solution for use as subfloor thermal insulation in low-temperature applications. It features smooth, high density skins with excellent insulating characteristics, high resistance to water and water vapor, excellent freeze-thaw resistance, superior compressive strength and long-term durability. FREEZERMATE™ Insulation can also be used in most static and dynamic loading situations for flooring applications. Because the rigid foam insulation boards resist even severe forms of moisture penetration in freezer and cooler construction, they offer long-term R-values* superior to other types of thermal insulation.
Uses:
-
Specially designed for use in low-temperature applications as subfloor thermal insulation
-
Used for most static and dynamic loading floor applications
Advantages:
-
Resists even severe forms of moisture penetration in freezer and cooler construction
-
Offers long-term R-values superior to other types of thermal insulation
-
Smooth, high-density skins
-
Excellent freeze-thaw resistance
-
Excellent compressive strength (min. 30 psi)
-
Long-term durability
-
Contains an average of 20% pre-consumer recycled content certified by UL Environment Inc.
