Particle Foam Solutions for Heating, Insulation and Ventilation

Particle foams play a key role in making heating, ventilation and insulation systems efficient, reliable and sustainable. They help reduce energy loss, compensate for temperature fluctuations, and minimize operating noise—often in combination with acoustic materials—in piping, heat storage units and heat pumps, ventilation ducts and equipment, as well as in insulated housings of technical equipment. At the same time, they are lightweight, durable and easy to handle through clicksystems, making planning, installation and maintenance noticeably easier. With their diverse properties, particle foams contribute to the efficient, comfortable and sustainable operation of entire systems.

EPS insulation boards are a central component of energyefficient and sustainable construction. They help reduce the energy consumption of buildings, create a pleasant indoor climate and provide acoustic insulation at the same time. Their lightweight handling and durability enable efficient construction processes, while the materials stability ensures longterm performance. In addition, EPS boards are recyclable, conserving resources and reducing environmental impact.

Advantages:

  • Easy handling and installation
  • Very low thermal conductivity
  • Low water absorption due to closedcell structure
  • Well‑established in construction

Applications:

  • Perimeter insulation
  • External wall insulation
  • Roof insulation

EPP components for thermal, cold and acoustic insulation play a central role in modern buildings and systems. They help use energy efficiently, balance temperature fluctuations and significantly reduce noise. At the same time, EPP insulation can be flexibly integrated into various applications—from pipe systems and heating and hotwater systems to airconditioning units and heat pumps.
