DuPont™ Styrofoam™ Brand Highload 60 XPS Insulation
DuPont™ Styrofoam™ Brand Highload 60 XPS Insulation
Subfloor Thermal Insulation for Low-Temperature Applications
U.S. HFC Regulation Compliant Formulation
DuPont™ Styrofoam™ Brand Highload 60 Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Insulation is a closed-cell foam insulation designed for demanding applications such as low-temperature (freezer floor) applications, highways, airport runways, bridge abutments, parking decks, utility lines, and ice rinks. With a compressive strength of 60 psi (415 kPa), it offers exceptional moisture resistance and R-value retention.
Styrofoam™ Brand Highload Insulation products are engineered to resist compressive creep and fatigue, ensuring sustained compressive strength over time. Like all Styrofoam™ Brand insulation products, Highload 60 XPS Insulation is known for its durability, versatility, and reusability, making it a preferred choice for a wide range of high-load applications.

1Values are consistent with the criteria of ASTM C578 and the requirements of the FTC R-value rule (16 CFR Part 460). R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.
2Vertical compressive strength is measured at 5 percent deformation or at yield, whichever occurs first. Since Styrofoam insulations are visco-elastic materials, adequate design safety factors should be used to prevent long-term creep. For static loads, 3:1 is suggested. For dynamic loads, call 1-866-583-2583 for safety factor recommendation.
