Stylite EPS Geofill

Stylite EPS Geofill is a lightweight, cellular plastic alternative to traditional fill materials such as soil or concrete. Manufactured off site it gives you the greatest possible control of your Civil Engineering project enabling you to design for key geosynthetic functions. Inherently multifunctional, Stylite EPS Geofill can be used in a wide range of Civil Engineering applications such as Earthworks & Structural Fill, Transportation and Architectural.

Manufactured in accordance to BS EN 13163:2012+A2:2016 & BS EN 14933:2007 under a Quality Management System accredited to ISO 9001:2015 and an Environmental Management System accredited to ISO 14001:2015.

• Squareness: S2.

Expanded Polystyrene is rot proof, Expanded Polystyrene is not affected by bacteria, moulds or fungi, and will not provide nutrient value for insects or vermin. Expanded Polystyrene does not lose any performance over time and will remain an effective insulation for the life of the building.

Stylite Expanded Polystyrene is hydrophobic and highly resistant to the absorption of water but will allow a very minimal amount of water vapour transfer. Expanded Polystyrene is often utilised with a suitable damp proof membrane or vapour control layer to avoid any unwanted water ingress.

Stylite Expanded Polystyrene will achieve reaction to fire Euroclass F. However, the system classification achieved when installed within a building will generally be considerably better due to use of other construction materials. We also supply FRA grades which contain a Fire Retardant Additive and achieve reaction to fire Euroclass E.

The Stylite Expanded Polystyrene does not contain HFC’s, CFC’s or HCFC’s. Expanded Polystyrene has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of zero and a low O-Zone Depletion Potential (ODP). Expanded Polystyrene is 100% recyclable.
