Effective thermal insulation is an important aspect in the case of industrial flooring.
The thermal insulation located under the floor slab is constantly exposed to intense stresses and loads caused by:
• daily use (vehicle movement, forklifts, shelf weight, machinery, industrial equipment)
• static load (buildings)
• dynamic load (start, break, vibration of machines or vehicles)
The process of production of Ravatherm XPS extruded polystyrene boards, provides us with a homogeneous structure of closed cell material with skin, which has the following characteristics:
• low coefficient of thermal conductivity λ
• high resistance to compression and permanent loads
• high resistance to moisture
Ravatherm XPS X 300 SL and Ravatherm XPS X 500 SL extruded polystyrene boards are the ideal materials for industrial floor thermal insulation, as they offer:
• High compressive strength (300 or 500 kPa)
• High resistance to permanent loads (130 or 180 kPa)
• High resistance to moisture absorption <1.5%
In cases of higher requirements, Ravatherm XPS X 700 SL extruded polystyrene boards with the following characteristics are recommended:
• High compressive strength (700 kPa)
• High resistance to permanent loads (up to 250 kPa)
