Styroboard: Sustainable Polystyrene Foam Sheets by Foamex
The centrepiece of the Foamex catalogue is Styroboard, a high-build range of expanded and extruded polystyrene foam sheets. Polystyrene is a rising industry-standard building material, delivering durability, insulation power and sustainability in a lightweight package. The product development team at Foamex harnesses these cost-efficient properties of polystyrene to manufacture versatile solutions for the building and construction industry, as well as the packaging and creative sectors.

Up close, Styroboard is composed of billions of air bubbles that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. These air bubbles are formed by solid polystyrene beads, combined with additives at the start of production. The beads will be subjected to a melting process in a viscous liquid before undergoing expansion using a blowing agent. Under controlled heat and pressure through a die, the mixture is processed to rigid polystyrene foam boards, ready for cutting into Styroboard.
