What is Graphite Polystyrene (GPS) foam and how does it differ from EPS?
GPS is an advanced rigid foam insulation made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) that’s infused with graphite particles. These particles reflect and absorb radiant heat, giving GPS superior thermal performance compared to standard white EPS.
What are the advantages of using GPS foam?
GPS offers enhanced R-values, long-term thermal resistance, and moisture resistance. It’s lightweight, easy to install, and retains its performance over time, making it an ideal choice for energy-efficient building applications.
Where is GPS typically used?
Creative Foam Products manufactures GPS foam for use in energy-conscious building systems, including wall sheathing, EIFS, roofing insulation, and precast concrete forms. It’s also suitable for garage doors and entry door cores where improved thermal performance is desired.
Is GPS environmentally sustainable?
Yes. Like EPS, GPS is recyclable and contributes to improved energy efficiency in buildings. Its long-term durability and performance help reduce heating and cooling demands, lowering overall environmental impact.
Can GPS products be customized for specific applications?
Absolutely. Creative Foam Products produces custom GPS solutions tailored to precise dimensions, densities, and performance requirements. Whether for large-scale construction or highly specialized components, GPS foam can be fabricated to meet unique project needs.
What types of foam products do you manufacture?
Our specialties are expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polypropylene (EPP), and graphite polystyrene (GPS), These products have many applications, and can be used in roofing, insulation, landscaping, stabilization, exterior siding, and more.
Do you offer custom foam manufacturing?
