We, Bloksan, have been producing Styrofoam at tour company’s plants since 1976. It is delivered together with the “Carbon-Reinforced Styrofoam Thermo-Brick” which is our special product. In accordance with the intense requests from our customers, we have now started the production of “Grey Heat Insulation Board” called Styroplak.

Heat Insulation Board Styroplak manufactured under the Bloksan guarantee has the following properties.
- Continuous and high heat insulation property, Water absorption, Freeze-Thaw resistance, High compressive and flexural strength, High water vapour permeability resistance, Dimensional stability, Light weight, Quick and easy application in all weather conditions are 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.
- Surface of Styroplak is produced rough (vortexed) so that mortar may adhere easily.
- It saves 50-60% economy of the energy consumed for heating.
HEAT CONDUCTIVITY VALUE
It is the most important value in heat insulation. As the conductivity value gets smaller, the heat transition reduces as well. Good performance of the heat conductivity value over time ensures the insulation we need to be satisfied in the long run. While the heat conductivity value of EPS is indicated as 0,034 W/mK in TS 825 (April 1999), it varies by density and external temperature. At a density of 18 kg/m³ and above, the heat conductivity LAB value of EPS is 0,031-0,033 W/mK and application and calculation value is 0,033 W/mK.
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.
FIRE
EPS products have class B1 non-flammable property. A great majority of the insulation materials other than EPS do not have resistance to fire but produce carbon monoxide which is an extremely poisonous gas during burning.
