Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Rigid
Foam Insulation is classied as
a Type IV product when tested
in accordance with ASTM C578
and provides a long-term thermal
performance of R-5 per inch.
Like all FOAMULAR

Product Applications
High-performance FOAMULAR
®
250 Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)
Rigid Foam Insulation:
• Retards the transmission of
water vapor and moisture in
masonry walls
• Provides continuous insulation
over steel stud framing, in
insulated concrete sandwich
panel walls, in masonry unit
cavity walls, or when used
with non-penetrating, surface
mounted furring systems over
masonry or concrete walls
• Insulates and retains its
properties in below grade
perimeter and foundation
applications, or directly
beneath the concrete slab to
complement the insulating
sheathing envelope around the
building framing
