Foam Insulation, Graphite Polystyrene (GPS)
Technical Information
What is GPS Foam Made Of?
- Base Material: Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads
- Additive: Graphite particles (infused throughout the foam)
The graphite reflects and absorbs radiant heat, which significantly reduces thermal conductivity compared to standard white EPS. This gives GPS foams better R-values (thermal resistance) without increasing thickness. Achieving a higher R-value in a thinner product gives design professionals new options for exterior wall configurations. Walls can be made thinner with equal thermal resistance, creating a larger interior for a given building footprint. Or wall thickness can remain the same, and thermal resistance can be substantially increased.
