THERMAL INSULATION- Extruded Polystyrene Insulation (XPS)
INSUboard® is an Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) rigid board used for thermal insulation. It is produced from general purpose polystyrene by the process of extrusion. These extruded sheets have a closed-cell structure and virtually no air-voids in between the cells.
Globally XPS has been widely used for thermal insulation since the last 40 years. It is acknowledged to be one of the best ‘value-for-money’ thermal insulation materials.
In India, XPS is manufactured by Supreme Petrochem Ltd (SPL) as INSUboard® at India’s first integrated ultra-modern manufacturing facility at Nagothane, Maharashtra. This eco-friendly plant has an annual production capacity of 150,000 m3 and is part of the 333-acre styrenics complex of Supreme Petrochem Ltd.

Extruded Polystyrene Board for Road Construction
Our Project:
- Zojila Pass Tunnel (Srinagar – Sonamarg)
- Shinkula Pass Tunnel (Himachal Pradesh – Laddakh) (Upcoming)
- Brahmaputra Twin Tunnel Project (Assam) (Upcoming)
Use of Extruded Polystyrene Sheets (XPS) in the construction of the Zoila Approach Road has been especially effective as XPS is the most suitable, convenient, and cheaper solution for mitigating frost action on pavements, increasing the life of pavements, and safeguarding their structural integrity.
Extruded Polystyrene sheet is a thermoplastic polymer which is formed from General purpose polystyrene by the process of extrusion. XPS has a closed cell structure and virtually no air voids and is often stronger, with a higher mechanical performance. Polystyrene is generally a synthetic polymer made from the monomer styrene, which is derived from benzene and ethylene, both of which are petroleum product Polystyrene foams are 95-98% air. XPS has been widely used for thermal insulation. for the last 40 years; it is commonly used for building insulation material, such as insulating concrete forms and structural insulated panel building systems. Finished yards of XPS can be used for insulation in temperature range of -150°C to 70°C.
Properties of XPS In general, thermal insulation is primarily based on very low thermal conductivity of gases. Gases possess poor thermal conductivity compared to liquid and solid, and thus makes a good insulation material if they can be trapped (for example in foam-like structures). Air is good insulator and the man is the absence of convection. Therefore many insulating materials like XPS function simply by having a large number of gas-filled pockets which prevent large scale convection.
