For samples, or to see how your project may benefit from incorporating Styrofoam™ Brand Plazamate™ XR Insulation into its design, contact Hydrotech at 800-877-6125 or XR@hydrotechusa.com.
Styrofoam™ Brand XPS Insulation vs. EPS
Water can cause damage in freeze-thaw conditions. XPS insulation absorbs significantly less water than EPS products do. And, it maintains its R-value better when water is present. Styrofoam™ Brand XPS also has recycle/reuse ability. All of which improve performance, sustainability and life-cycle cost.

ViewRoofing applications
Protected membrane (PMR) roofs
In a protected membrane – or inverted – roof, the insulation is placed on top of the waterproofing membrane and covered with gravel, pavers or soil. PMR roofs are ideal for green and blue roof designs. They lengthen roof life, contribute to sustainability and provide long-term cost savings.
Conventional roofs
In a conventional roof, the insulation lies under a protective membrane covering. Our conventional roof insulations and sealants provide long-term thermal performance and moisture resistance. Plus, the insulation often can be reused.
