Applications & Design Details
- High-performance FOAMULAR®150 Extruded Polystyrene XPS Rigid Foam Insulation for wall furring, perimeter/foundation, cavity wall, pre-cast concrete, crawl spaces, sheathing, and other applications
- Retards the transmission of water vapor and moisture in masonry walls
- Provides continuous insulation over steel stud framing, in insulated concrete sandwich panel walls, or in masonry unit cavity walls, or when used with non-penetrating, surface mounted furring systems over masonry or concrete walls
- Insulates and retains its properties in below-grade perimeter and foundation applications, to complement the insulating sheathing envelope around the building framing
- Provides a weather-resistant barrier (when joints are sealed) to enhance the building resistance to air and moisture penetration
- XPS Rigid Foam Insulation is great for below-grade applications. XPS is resistant to degradation from the components of common soils and will retain its insulating performance characteristics even after prolonged exposure to moisture
Technical & Safety Details
-
Combustibility: This product is combustible. A protective barrier or thermal barrier is required as specified in the appropriate building code.
-
Material classification: FOAMULAR® 150 Extruded Polystyrene XPS Rigid Foam Insulation is a non-structural material.
-
Exposure: FOAMULAR® XPS Insulation can be left exposed for up to 60 days. During that time some degradation or “dusting” of the polystyrene surface may begin. Once covered, the deterioration stops.
-
Service temperature: FOAMULAR® 150 Extruded Polystyrene XPS Rigid Foam Insulation has a maximum service temperature of 165°F.
-
Horizontal applications: For horizontal applications, always turn the black print side down.
-
Ventilation & coverings: Do not cover FOAMULAR® XPS Insulation either stored (factory wrapped or unwrapped), or partially installed, with dark-colored (non-white), or clear (non-opaque) coverings and leave it exposed to the sun.
Ideal for installers who want dependable insulation that’s easy to handle and proven over time. Choose FOAMULAR® 150 XPS for reliable performance across walls, foundations, and below-grade projects—without the drama.
