The type of short-term load capacity of a construction product – typically thermal insulation material – that no residual deflection occurs in the product after the load has ceased.
Given that this colloquial term is not standardly defined, some technical mediums consider a material to be step-resistant with a compression of 10 % due to a compressive strength of ≥10 % and others at ≥150 kPa.
The minimum compressive strength of RAVATHERM XPS products is ≥300 kPa, so they are all considered as “step-resistant”.
