Styrofoam is a brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), manufactured to provide continuous building insulation board used in walls, roofs, and foundations as thermal insulation and as a water barrier.
Styrofoam is a material that has become ubiquitous in everyday life, from food containers and packaging materials to insulation panels in construction. Despite its widespread use, many people are unaware of what Styrofoam actually is, how it’s made, and why it is so versatile.
Styrofoam™ is a trademarked brand of extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam used mainly for building insulation, while many everyday “foam” products are expanded polystyrene (EPS) or other plastics that only look similar.
DuPont's Styrofoam™ is XPS insulation — but most 'Styrofoam' coffee cups are actually EPS. Compare EPS vs XPS, recycling, and bio-foam alternatives.
Since its invention in 1941, Styrofoam™ Brand extruded polystyrene (XPS) has built a rich, storied heritage as an innovative, sustainable building product – creating an entire insulation material category.
