Owens Corning® FOAMULAR® 150 Extruded Polystyrene XPS Rigid Foam Insulation is a closed cell, moisture-resistant rigid foam board well suited to meet the need for a wide variety of building applications. FOAMULAR® 150 Extruded Polystyrene XPS Rigid Foam Insulation is great for many residential and commercial construction applications such as wall furring, perimeter/foundation, cavity wall, pre-cast concrete, crawl spaces, sheathing and other applications.

Features

• Excellent long-term stable insulating performance at R-52 per inch
• Exceptional moisture resistance, long-term durability
• Lightweight, durable rigid foam panels are easy to handle and install
• Easy to saw, cut or score

Applications

• High-performance FOAMULAR® 150 Extruded Polystyrene XPS Rigid Foam Insulation:
• Retards the transmission of water vapor and moisture in masonry walls
• Provides continuous insulation over steel stud framing, in insulated concrete sandwich panel walls, or in masonry unit cavity walls, or when used with non-penetrating, surface mounted furring systems over masonry or concrete walls
• Insulates and retains its properties in below grade perimeter and foundation applications, to complement the insulating sheathing envelope around the building framing
• Provides a weather resistant barrier (when joints are sealed) to enhance the building resistance to air and moisture penetration
• XPS Rigid Foam Insulation is great for below grade applications. XPS is resistant to degradation from the components of common soils and will retain its insulating performance characteristics even after prolonged exposure to moisture

Technical Information

• This product is combustible. A protective barrier or thermal barrier is required as specifi ed in the appropriate building code.
• All construction should be evaluated for the necessity to provide vapor retarders.
• FOAMULAR® 150 Extruded Polystyrene XPS Rigid Foam Insulation is a non-structural material.
• FOAMULAR® XPS Insulation can be left exposed for up to 60 days. During that time some degradation or “dusting” of the polystyrene surface may begin. Once covered, the deterioration stops.
• FOAMULAR® 150 Extruded Polystyrene XPS Rigid Foam Insulation has a maximum service temperature of 165°F. For horizontal applications, always turn the black print side down. Do not cover FOAMULAR® XPS Insulation either stored (factory wrapped or unwrapped), or partially installed, with dark colored (non-white), or clear (non-opaque) coverings and leave it exposed to the sun.
