Styrofoam: One of the Best Insulating Materials Developed

Styrofoam: One of the Best Insulating Materials Developed

If you thought Styrofoam was only for making the disposable cups for your office’s water cooler, you’re wrong. In fact, that’s not even true Styrofoam, it’s just a similar material that has borrowed its name because it’s similar in manufacturing process. The real thing is a blue tough material that’s popularly used for insulation.

Proper insulation is vital for your home for a number of reasons. It can help you keep the heat in, and the cold out in the winters. It also prevents water seepage, and if you’re in an area where water freezes in winters, Styrofoam insulation can prevent water from freezing in your pipes. If you’re living in an area where it snows in winters, and the temper drops down considerably, then you cannot do without home insulation.

Styrofoam is a brand name of Dow Chemicals for the foamed Polysterene that it developed in the 1940s. The product gained immense popularity among constructors and builders for its sturdiness and insulating properties. Styrofoam insulation is a low conductor of heat, it is light-weight, can be easily carved into different shapes, and has low water absorption. All these properties make it a perfect insulation material.

Styrofoam is also immune to the effects of weathering that affects many other insulation materials. That gives it a very long life, and its light-weight properties make it easy to install and to carry.

If you’re looking for home insulation, there’s hardly a better product than Styrofoam. The best thing is, it’s available conveniently from any materials store. You can buy Styrofoam in sheets of different thicknesses and sizes. There are separate products developed for floor insulation, loft insulation, roof insulation, basement insulation, etc.

Styrofoam panels on your wall can bring down your heating costs substantially. They are fire and termite resistant, and so are a safer insulating material than wood. There’s also no smell from Styrofoam so it’s neutral on the senses.

Another positive thing about Styrofoam is that it’s an environment friendly. Styrofoam foam is made using Carbon-die-oxide, and confirms to the requirements of strict global warming code. It’s also recyclable, and can be used again and again. So if you’re a responsible and eco-friendly person, this is the insulation material of choice for you.

The Styrofoam sheets from Dow chemicals is available in different varieties for different purposes. The most popular are Roofmate, Floormate, and Perimate. The Floormate product is specially designed sturdy material suitable for floor insulation. The product can be installed both below or above the concrete slabs. If installed above, it helps in heating the area faster, and when installed below, it helps in retaining the heat for a longer period of time.

While the investment in Styrofoam paneling may seem like an extra expense at the time of building the home, the investment pays for itself many times over as the years go by. In these days of rising energy cost, Styrofoam insulation can save you a lot of money in utility bills.

Styrofoam Versus Paper: Pick Your Poison

Styrofoam Versus Paper: Pick Your Poison

Lately I’ve been noticing a new trend in the sustainability world about one particular material: Styrofoam. While I’m not sure who started this new wave of defense for the stuff, I feel like it’s time to address these perceptions and myths based on experience and reality. Today I was giving a talk on waste and roughly 50% of the time someone will ask me which is better, paper or plastic. If only it was a quick and simple answer. I’ll try and provide a semi-quick one now.

Let’s pick an item to think about for a quick comparison. How about a coffee cup? This or packing material usually seems to always be the example used, but with good reason as most can relate. The product’s life cycle can be divided into three parts: production, use, disposal.

Martin Hocking’s constantly referenced article “Paper Versus Polystyrene: A Complex Choice” lays out the science to show that the manufacturing of polystyrene is nowhere near as environmentally destructive as paper production. I think both processes suck and I’m not sure what can be done about that. It’s been quite some time since that study, but neither material has drastically changed that I can tell.

Styrofoam is a superior insulator when it comes to keeping a beverage hot. Paper cups frequently employ a cardboard insulator, which still doesn’t seem to be an equivalent for many consumers. That’s about where Styrofoam’s benefits end, other than cost, which dictates most everything.

The disposal part is where everything gets interesting to me, as Styrofoam faces its dilemma here. Yes, it’s 98% air, cheaper than paper, and is less resource intensive on the front end. However, there is zero incentive to recycle it due to its low production costs and the huge volume it consumes. Sure it’s “recyclable”, but is it really?

On the other hand, paper and cardboard are both readily recyclable with large markets for both…the likelihood of these actually being recycled is much greater. In our example, however, this is also challenged since paper cups have wax coatings that make them a bit difficult to recycle. This is where composting comes into play, especially with having this service available at food service establishments.

In terms of degradability, paper and cardboard win this race, although it’s still a super long process. Plastic does not degrade at all, so don’t believe otherwise. That is, unless your definition of ‘degrade’ means to break down into smaller pieces, clog up our waterways and end up in our food.

So there you have it, that’s as basic as it can get…and it’s still a pretty heavy issue. Pick your poison: Toxins at the cradle, or toxins at the grave. My suggestion is to always use your own cup or your own bag to avoid using either material as much as possible. No matter how efficient the handling of either material may become, ultimately source reduction is the most realistic response…so start giving it a try.
