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.
Dimensional Stability
:
Geofoam offer dimensional stability remaining unaffected within a wide range of ambient factors.
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.
