EPS molded polystyrene insulation board, as a common insulation material, is widely used in the construction field. Differences in density can have a significant impact on performance.
Generally speaking, EPS insulation boards with lower density have relatively better thermal insulation performance. This is because the air content in low-density boards is higher, and the thermal conductivity of air is lower, which can effectively prevent the transfer of heat. In contrast, high-density EPS insulation panels have slightly less thermal insulation properties. However, high-density panels can provide better mechanical strength to a certain extent, reducing the risk of damage during transportation and installation.
As density increases, the strength of EPS insulation panels increases accordingly. High-density insulation boards can withstand greater pressure and impact and are not easily deformed and damaged. In some situations that require high strength of insulation materials, such as roof insulation, floor insulation, etc., high-density EPS insulation boards are more suitable. Low-density insulation boards are more suitable for wall insulation and other parts that do not require high strength but require high thermal insulation performance.
In summary, there are obvious differences in performance between EPS molded polystyrene insulation boards of different densities. When selecting insulation boards, the appropriate density should be determined based on specific usage scenarios and requirements. If you focus on thermal insulation performance, you can choose low-density insulation boards; if you need higher strength, you should consider high-density products. At the same time, factors such as cost and construction difficulty should also be comprehensively considered to achieve the best thermal insulation effect and economic benefits.
