30mm White Polystyrene (Graphite) represents a premium expanded polystyrene (EPS) board featuring integrated graphite particles that deliver superior thermal performance. The graphite infusion creates a distinctive White appearance whilst reflecting radiant heat effectively. This rigid, closed-cell EPS insulation captures air within each bead, and because air resists heat conduction, it substantially reduces heat transfer rates.
The graphite particles embedded throughout the 30mm White Polystyrene (Graphite) board structure offer reflective capabilities and striking White colouring. When radiant heat passes through the 30mm graphite insulation, multiple reflections occur, dramatically slowing heat transfer and boosting overall energy efficiency.
Within 30mm White Polystyrene (Graphite) boards, warm air travels an indirect path towards cooler areas, decelerating heat transfer and maintaining warmer conditions indoors. This delivers an improved thermal conductivity rating of 0.031 W/mK, outperforming conventional 30mm expanded polystyrene boards.

Installation
The 30mm EPS boards are initially secured to the substrate (masonry or timber) using mortar/adhesive, mechanical fixings, or a hybrid approach.
The 30mm expanded polystyrene boards must then receive a protective outer finish, such as cladding or a mortar coating.
The board's outer surface requires rasping or sanding to develop a textured finish before application of fiber mesh, followed by base coat or mortar application.
Certifications
Produced in accordance with EN-13163 Standard.
