STYROFOAM* brand High Load 40 insulation is the BLUE*, closed cell extruded polystyrene
foam insulation designed to meet the high strength requirements of ASTM C578 (TYPE
VI) specifications. It combines a minimum compressive strength of 40 PSI with
the excellent physical property characteristics of all STYROFOAM brand insulation
products. As a result, it resists compressive creep and fatigue and delivers the
long term compressive strength and R-value retention needed for high load applications.
It is ideal for use in low temperature (freezer floor) applications where moderately
heavy loads are expected. It is also recommended for insulating many highway installations.
STYROFOAM brand insulation has been proven in over 50 years of use in construction
and specialty applications. Its closed cell structure provides superior resistance
to water absorption, water vapor transmission and freeze thaw cycling. Even in
hostile, low temperature environments, where severe temperature differentials
and water vapor driving forces can dramatically reduce the thermal efficiency
of some insulation products, STYROFOAM brand insulation has retained its R-value,
stability and high compressive strength. STYROFOAM brand products are CFC free. | | | | Thermal Resistance1.4Aged R-Value Per Inch @ 75°F Mean Temperature | 5.0 | C518 | | Compressive Strength (lb/in2), Min.2 | 40 | D1621 | | Water Absorption (% by volume), Max | 0.1 | C272 | | Water Vapor Permeance3(Perm), Max | 0.8 | E96 | | Dimensional Stability (% Linear Change), Max | 2.0 | D2126 | | Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (in/in°F) | 3.5 X 10-5 | – | | Flame Spread5 | 5 | E84 | | Smoke Development | 165 | E84 | | Foundation Modulus (lb/in3) (3.0" Thickness) | 750 | D1621 | | Dimensions: | . | . | | –Thickness (Inch) | 2.0 | 3.0 | – | | –Width (Inch) | 24, 48 | 24 | – | | –Length (Inch) | 96 | 96 | – |
NOTES: - Values are consistent with the criteria of ASTM C578 and the requirements
of the FTC R-value rule (16 CFR Part 460). The higher the R-value, the greater
the insulating power. Ask your seller for the fact sheet on R-value. A 15 year
limited thermal warranty is available.
- Vertical compressive strength is measured at 5% deformation or at yield, whichever
occurs first. Since STYROFOAM brand insulations are visco-elastic materials, adequate
design safety factors should be used to prevent long term creep. For static loads,
3-1 is suggested. For dynamic loads, 5-1 is suggested.

STYROFOAM* brand High Load 60 insulation is the Blue*, closed cell extruded polystyrene
foam insulation designed to meet the high strength requirements of ASTM C578 (TYPE
VII) specifications. It combines a minimum compressive strength of .60 PSI with
the excellent physical property characteristics of all STYROFOAM brand insulation
products. As a result, it resists compressive creep and fatigue and delivers the
long-term compressive strength and R-value retention needed for high load applications.
It is ideal for use in low temperature (freezer floor) applications in warehouses
with rack-supported roof systems or where high density products such as meat are
stored. It is also recommended for insulating airport runways, highways and helicopter
landing pads where moderately heavy to heavy loads are expected.
