EPD: EPS insulation panels, L= 0.038 m2K/W, R=1 m2K/W, 38 mm (10-200 mm range), 600 x 1200mm, 1.0032 kg/m2, 26.4 kg/m3, compressive strength class 200 kN/m2, Lambda=0.038 W/(m.K), EPS GreenLine (BeWi Insulation AB)

EPS GreenLine insulation boards are made of white or gray polystyrene recirculated raw material. Production of EPS insulation boards is done by heating polystyrene granules containing 4-6% pentane with water vapor in a closed block form. After that, the block is cut with a heated wire to the desired size. A typical size is 600 mm wide, 1200 mm long and thickness between 10-200 mm; while the reference thickness used for the calculations presented in this EPD is 38mm. During manufacture and shortly thereafter, about half of the amount of pentane is released. Any leftovers from production is recycled in the same process.
