EPD: Graphite polystyrene (GPS) insulation boards, L = 0.0307 W/mK, R = 1 m2K/W, 30.7 mm, 0.442 kg/m2, Neopor ® F 5200 PLUS GPS, Neopor® F 5300 PLUS GPS (BASF)

For this analysis, Neopor® Plus GPS insulation boards, ASTM C578 Type I, is examined. Type I thermal insulation board has a minimum density of 0.9 pounds per cubic foot with a minimum thermal resistance of 4.7 per inch thickness at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Figure below provides a picture of Neopor® Plus GPS insulation boards. Neopor® Plus GPS insulation boards are graphite polystyrene (GPS) with a polymeric flame retardant in uniform distribution (blowing agent: pentane). The insulation boards are manufactured to customer specification.
