Extir A 5000 AE is a flame retardant expandable polystyrene in the form of spherical beads of medium-large particle size, containing pentane as blowing agent.
Extir does not contain CFC or HCFC.
Extir A 5000 AE is suitable for production of low-medium density blocks for the thermal insulation sector.
Extir A 5000 AE is used mainly in the construction sector where, for legislative or safety reasons, the use of a flame retardant material is required.
Typical applications are:
- blocks, especially for external thermal insulation
- low density elastified blocks for impact sound absorption (Trittschall)
- void formers, trough formers and culvert formers cut from block
- blocks or slabs for road foundations and civil construction
