Neopor GPS is the innovation in insulation Neopor is Graphite Polystyrene (GPS) Graphite is the most stable form of carbon safe and chemically inert Neopor is Thermal Performance Reflects radiant heat energy Reduces thermal conductivity
Neopor delivers stable and durable properties Neopor is Durable R value is up to 30% higher than EPS ( white ) Meets flexural/ compressive requirements Flexible and adaptable density properties (0.9-2.00 pcf) Above properties align well with XPS (ASTM C 578 Type IV, X) Neopor is Gray Silver-gray color provides construction-like appearance Strong differentiation factor on job sites
XPS loses R-value over time; GPS is stable Neopor is Dependable With Neopor Zero Drift of R-Value means you pay for long lasting performance Unlike XPS which relies on gas for initial R Value content XPS 90% R-Value warranty, means less R over 6 months
Neopor Moisture Management Neopor starts and stays dry, because it breaths 1% 5% 19% Neopor GPS EPS XPS Type I (1.0 pcf) Type I (1.0 pcf) Type X (1.6 pcf) % Water Absorption* Humidity and moisture are always a challenge Permeability equals breathability or pass through Unlike XPS, Neopor closed cellular structure allows it to breath and pass through humidity and moisture High breathability performance means higher drying capacity Neopor has twice the perm rating than XPS which delivers a higher drying capacity for all climate zones. Best in class performance in areas of high humidity C1512 Freeze Thaw Cycling tested *Results of extreme conditions cycling test are provided by Intertek, Evaluation Center, June 26, 2015

XPS is extruded Polystyrene 2) Neopor GPS meets and exceeds ASTM C578-13, Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation ; published by ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959 3) R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. Ask your seller for the fact sheet on R-values. 4) The technical and physical metrics provided in this table are reference values for insulation products made of Neopor GPS. The values and properties may vary depending on how they are processed and produced. The R-value properties for Neopor GPS Plus are based on 1-1/16 in thickness.
