Key Features:
Mechanical Properties
:
Strength increases with density. (Normally use as per the technical requirement -16 to 32 kg density).
Shock absorbing capacity depends on the bead size processing conditions as well as density.
Physical Properties
:
Provides negligible capillarity.
Water or water vapours have negligible effect on the mechanical properties of Geofoam.
Water or water vapours have negligible effect on the mechanical properties of Geofoam.
Dimensional Stability
:
Geofoam offer dimensional stability remaining unaffected within a wide range of ambient factors.
Maximum dimensional change is less than 2%.
Maximum dimensional change is less than 2%.
Thermal Insulation
:
The uniform closed cellular structure of Geofoam is highly resistant to heat flow.
Environmentally Friendly
:
Geofoam is not aqua toxic.
Geofoam is inert in the soil.
Does not affect ground water quality hence relatively clean construction adjacent to waterways.
