Product Description
Extir D 5000 AE is a flame-retardant expandable polystyrene in the form of spherical beads of medium-large particle size, containing pentane as blowing agent. Extir does not contain CFC or HCFC.
Extir D 5000 AE is used for production of blocks for the thermal insulation sector. It is characterised by fast moulding cycles, good fusion and low energy needs combined with a high mechanical strength and a good surface finishing.

Extir D 5000 AE is used mainly in the construction sector where, for legislative or safety reasons, the use of a flame retardant material is required.

Typical applications are:
  • blocks, especially for external thermal insulation
  • medium-high density elastified blocks for impact sound absorption (Trittschall)
  • void formers, trough formers and culvert formers cut from block
  • blocks or slabs for road foundations and civil construction
