Abstract:
 This Business Profiles covers the market for Extruded Polystyrene(XPS) in Norway.

The most suitable polystyrenes for extrusion are those with a high viscosity, i.e. products with a melt volume index (MVI) of 200/5 in the lower end of the range between 1 and 7 ml/10min. The physical properties of XPS mean that it can be used in board form in roofing, flooring and walling applications. The low moisture absorption of the material makes it ideal for use in cold storage facilities and refrigerated transport, where it is subjected to freeze thaw cycles. The high compressive strength of the material also makes it ideal for load bearing applications. XPS does not rot and has relatively high thermal insulation properties. Due to its cost, XPS tends to be used in specialist areas where its particular properties are specifically required. Polyurethane foams are produced from a mixture of polyols, isocyanates, process additives and blowing agents. Polyurethane foams can provide very high performance insulating products, despite the change from CFC to CFC-free blowing agents. The foam can be produced in a number of ways depending upon its ultimate use:

- continuous and discontinuous production of slabstock which can be cut into flat sheets or shapes
- continuous and discontinuous lamination between two rigid substrates, suitable for structural building applications
- in-situ moulding for refrigerators, pipe sections and cavity walls
- surface spraying for flat roofing and storage tanks.

EPS is typically encountered in three forms:

- as rigid lightweight slab or board for use in wall, floor and roof insulation and cavity fill.
- EPS sheet bonded to plaster for use in dry lining and roofing extensions
- loose fill bead for use in cavity fill and loft insulation
