Product Description
Extir PD GEO 3000 AE is a flame-retardant expandable polystyrene in the form of spherical beads of medium particle size, containing pentane as blowing agent.
Extir does not contain CFC or HCFC.
Extir PD GEO 3000 AE is used for production of moulded boards or blocks for the insulation of building foundations and is characterised by low water absorption by vapour diffusion (EN 12088). It also exhibits excellent processing characteristics and
high mechanical strength.

Extir PD GEO 3000 AE is used in buiding sector.
Typical applications are:
  • insulation of building foundations
  • underground wall insulation
For such applications a low water absorption by vapour diffusion is highly recommended. Laboratory trials have demonstrated that with Extir PD GEO 3000 AE, under controlled processing conditions, it is possible to obtain items with particularly low values of water absorbption (class Wd(V)3 in Table 9 of EN 13163).
