Ecostir - XPS Boards

The examined product is a certified extruted thermal insulation board produced by RAVAGO HELLAS S.M.S.A. branded under the trade name Ecostir XPS, in Katerini Greece. RAVAGO HELLAS S.M.S.A. offers outstanding XPS solutions tailored for thermal insulation. Ecostir XPS Boards (Extruded polystyrene) is molten polystyrene that is extruded (pressed) into boards. Ecostir XPS has a closed-cell structure without any voids, which locks air inside the sealed polystyrene pores. This gives XPS high compressive strength and provides more resistance to heat transfer than other insulating materials of the same thickness. This makes Ecostir XPS ideal for insulation and it’s often used in foundations, reversed roofs and other projects with high strength requirements. The exceptional thermal properties of XPS significantly reduce the energy required for heating and cooling buildings. In fact, the energy savings achieved by using XPS exceed the energy consumed during its production. The product's commendable compressive strength, measured at 200 250 and 300 kPa, coupled with its virtually imperceptible water absorption, renders it suitable for applications in thermal insulation and waterproofing. Within the realm of high-performance thermal insulation, it is vital to consider compressive strength, particularly in the production of Thermal Insulation Boards.
