Global Geofoams Market, 2014-2024

Global Geofoams Market, 2014-2024

Geofoam is expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XPS) manufactured into large lightweight blocks. Only rigid polymers (polypropylene and PVC) have been used as geocomb material. As a raw material EPS used plastic beads and XPS used molten material. XPS is more expensive than EPS. Geofoam is used in geotechnical applications such as lightweight fill for construction on soft ground, for slope stabilization, and retaining wall or abutment backfill; as well as for roadway and runway sub-grade insulation and foundation insulation. Geosynthetics are found in the two forms, which include geocombs and geofoams. Geofoams offer excellent dampening of noise and vibration.

EPS geofoam possesses the physical and mechanical properties ideal for most insulation and specifications. Due to its design flexibility and versatility, it can be cut in to sheets, slabs, or any design requirement to meet specific building code standards. It can be cut to shape with ordinary tools to assure tight joints thus reducing heat loss. EPS can also be molded in to custom designs for insulation applications including concrete block insulation systems.

A major advantage of using geofoam as fill material in embankments is that it is up to 50 times less massive than other lightweight fills, thus providing:

maximum available right-of-way for road construction, faster construction schedule, lower traffic impact, comparatively clean construction near waterways, reduced labor, minimal future maintenance.
