Description
SOPRA-XPS 30 is a thermal insulation board made of rigid extruded polystyrene with shiplap or square edges on its four sides.
UNITS PER SKID:
Depends on thickness:
1" - 88
1.5" - 60
2" - 48
2.5" - 36
3" - 32
4" - 24
Material Use:
SOPRA-XPS 30 is a rigid thermal insulation board made of extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam, designed primarily for use in foundation wall systems and under concrete slabs. It provides long-term thermal resistance and is suitable for applications where compressive loads do not exceed 30 psi. The product is ideal for below-grade insulation and contributes to energy efficiency in building envelopes.
System Components:
SOPRA-XPS 30 is typically used as part of a foundation insulation system and can be installed in combination with SOPREMA waterproofing and air/vapour barrier products. When adhered, SOPRASEAL LM 200 T is the recommended adhesive. For joint treatment, a 100 mm (4 in) strip of SOPRASEAL STICK FLASHPRO or ALL-WEATHER BUTYL FLASHING TAPE can be applied over panel joints. The insulation boards are available in both shiplap and square edge formats, with thicknesses ranging from 25 mm (1 in) to 100 mm (4 in).
Applications:
SOPRA-XPS 30 is used in the following construction applications:
- Below-grade foundation wall insulation
- Under-slab insulation for concrete floors
- Perimeter insulation around building foundations
- Applications requiring thermal insulation with moderate compressive strength (30 psi)
Application Details:
SOPRA-XPS 30 can be installed using three methods:
1. Loose Laid: Boards are placed flat on the ground under slabs without adhesion. Multiple layers should be staggered.
2. Mechanically Attached: Boards are fastened to walls using anchors that do not penetrate the waterproofing membrane.
3. Adhered with Adhesive: Boards are adhered to foundation walls using SOPRASEAL LM 200 T or another XPS-compatible adhesive. Multiple layers should be staggered.
Special Notes:
- Thermal Resistance (LTTR): R-values range from R-5.28 (25 mm) to R-20.73 (100 mm).
- Water Absorption: Very low, at 0.1% by volume (ASTM C272).
- Compressive Strength: 210 kPa (30 psi) minimum.
- Flame Spread Rating: <500 (CAN/ULC-S102.2).
- Water Vapour Permeance: 0.61 perms for 25 mm thickness.
- UV Exposure Limit: Should not be exposed to UV rays for more than 60 days.
- Maximum Service Temperature: 75°C (167°F).
- Environmental Impact: Contains no CFCs, HCFCs, or HFC-134a. Zero ozone depletion potential and very low global warming potential (GWP of 1). Made with pre- and post-consumer recycled content.
- Storage: Must be stored flat, in original packaging or under opaque cover if exposed. Keep away from flames and high heat sources due to flammability.
SOPRA-XPS 30 is GREENGUARD GOLD certified and meets CAN/ULC S701.1 Type 4 and ASTM C578-14 Type IV standards. It is a reliable and environmentally responsible choice for thermal insulation in foundation and under-slab applications.
