STYROFOAM™ CAVITYMATE™ SC extruded polystyrene insulation is recommended for use as exterior insulated cladding on steel stud walls in new commercial and residential high-rise buildings. Featuring a shiplap edge, one of the most thermally efficient edge treatments available, STYROFOAM CAVITYMATE SC insulation reduces thermal bridging through the concrete walls or metal studs, helping heat stay in the building where it belongs. The insulation's high R-value decreases condensation potential in the wall cavity, protecting the integrity of your wall system for the life of the building. And, STYROFOAM CAVITYMATE SC insulation offers superior moisture resistance for long-term insulation value and outstanding dimensional stability and strength for lasting durability. CAN/ULC S701 Type 2.

**Not all product sizes are available in all regions.
R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. R-values are expressed in ft2•h•°F/Btu.
††Vertical compressive strength is measured at 10% deformation (5% for STYROFOAM HIGHLOAD 40, 60 and 100 insulation products) or at yield, whichever occurs first. Since STYROFOAM extruded polystyrene insulation products are visco-elastic materials, adequate design safety factors should be used to prevent long-term creep and fatigue deformations.
