STYROFOAM™ PANELMATE™ and STYROFOAM PANELMATE Ultra extruded polystyrene insulation products feature proven moisture resistance for long-lasting thermal performance in pre-cast concrete insulated wall applications. The R-value of STYROFOAM PANELMATE and STYROFOAM PANELMATE Ultra insulation products helps create concrete wall systems that are durable, strong and energy-efficient. STYROFOAM PANELMATE and STYROFOAM PANELMATE Ultra insulation products are highly resistant to moisture due to Dow's unique extrusion process. The closed-cell, rigid plastic foam of STYROFOAM PANELMATE and STYROFOAM PANELMATE Ultra insulation products is extruded with smooth, high-density skins that make both products moisture resistant. This helps maintain the products' thermal value when subjected to the high moisture content of the concrete panel manufacturing process. STYROFOAM PANELMATE - CAN/ULC S701-Type 2; STYROFOAM PANELMATE Ultra - CAN/ULC S701-Type 3.

Product R-Value Board Size Min Compressive Strength††
PANELMATE R5 /per inch Custom Sizes -- width, length and thickness 16 psi
PANELMATE ULTRA R5.6 /per inch Custom Sizes -- width, length and thickness 25 psi


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.
