Product Information Sheet DuPont™ Styrofoam™ Brand Plazamate™ XR Extruded Foam Insulation High R-value, Tough, Versatile Insulation for Commercial Roof, Low-Temp, and Geotechnical Applications. HFC Regulation Compliant Formulation FEATURES/BENEFITS Description DuPont™ Styrofoam™ Brand Plazamate™ XR Foam Insulation is next generation in evolution of high-performance closed cell insulation that allows extra design flexibility for architects and engineers by optimizing roof thickness – reducing expensive commercial roof building alterations required for meeting the latest building and energy codes – and assists in reducing overall project costs. Styrofoam™ Brand Plazamate™ XR Foam Insulation is reusable, moisture-resistant, durable, easy to work with and offers more R per inch. Available in compressive strength of 60 psi (415 kPa), Styrofoam™ Brand Plazamate™ XR Foam Insulation features exceptional moisture resistance and R-value* retention. Styrofoam™ Brand Plazamate™ XR resists compressive creep and fatigue, delivering long-term compressive strength and high R-value. Ease of Use Styrofoam™ Brand Plazamate™ XR Foam Insulation: • Provides superior resistance to water absorption, water vapor transmission, and freeze-thaw cycling • Ideal for low-temperature, geotechnical, high-load commercial and other in-ground or water-contact applications such as Protected Membrane Roofs, Green and Blue Roofs, Cold Storage Buildings, Amenity Decks, and many others • Delivers long-term compressive strength in high-load applications • Features exceptional R-value and R-value retention, in typical construction and in demanding cold, wet, humid, changing environments • Resists compressive creep and fatigue Sustainable Solutions Styrofoam™ Brand Plazamate™ XR Foam Insulation uses BluEdge™ technology. It is free of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) and volatile organic components (VOC), carries zero ozone depletion potential, is compliant with HFC regulations, and is reusable in many applications. Styrofoam™ Brand XPS Insulation is made of extruded polystyrene (XPS) and can be recycled at facilities that recycle XPS materials. Please check recycling facilities in your area to ensure they can recycle XPS Insulation. * R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-
