• In the insulation of pipes, tanks and reservoirs.

FOR OTHER PURPOSES IN BUILDINGS

• In expansion joints,
• In the production of light-weight structural blocks (light-weight bricks, briquettes, etc.),
• In the production of hollow floor slabs,
• In the production of light-weight concrete and insulation plaster made of EPS granules,
• As filling material in the production of doors,
• In the construction of prefabricated light-weight concrete components,
• In the production of composite (multi-layered finished) boards.

IN SPECIAL ENGINEERING STRUCTURES

• In the construction of pontoons (floating marinas),
• In the construction of highways in cold regions,
• For the purpose of enhancing the soil strength by performing fillings in loose soils,
• In the expansion joints in bridges.

IN OTHER WORKS

• In the whole packaging industry,
• In the production of life jackets and life buoys for ships,
• In the production of windsurf boards,
• In the building of small seagoing vessels,
• In decoration works.

General properties of the STRYROBLOK produced under Bloksan guarantee are the following:

Continuous and high heat insulation, non-water-solubility, freeze-thaw strength, high compressive and flexural strength, high water vapour permeability strength, dimensional stability, light-weight, quick and easy applicability in any and all weather conditions are some of its basic properties.

• It prevents concentrations in walls, thus inhibiting the formation of mould, fungus and stain.
• It prevents the spatial movement which is a general problem in interior heat insulation. It does not cause any problems in such locations as doors, windows, skirting, electric sockets, service piping, radiators, etc. due to its thinness.
• While it reduces heat loss during winter, it also prevents overheating of spaces during summer.
• It is easy to apply. It may be wallpapered or painted.
• It covers any breaks, cracks and imperfections in walls and creates even surfaces.
• While it is essentially intended as a heat insulation material, it also contributes to sound insulation.
• It does not contain any substances that are harmful for health.
• It has an eternal life. As long as the building survives, it continues its insulation duty with its first-day performance.
• It saves 50-60% economy of the energy consumed for heating.

WATER ABSORPTION RATE

Greatest foe of insulation materials is that they take water in. Insulation property of a material reduces by the water amount. If EPS is completely left in water, it does not take water in at a rate of 1% by volume one week afterwards and 2.5% by volume one year afterwards. Under these conditions, heat conductivity value is not above 0,037 W/mK. For instance, glass wool has a high water absorption rate. The value of m=0,04 as indicated in TS 825 rises up to m=0,555 and the material loses its insulation property. In such a case, waterproofing should be further made.
