FOAMULAR
®
150 XPS insulation is ideal for
many residential and commercial
construction applications such as
wall furring, perimeter/foundation,
cavity wall, pre-cast concrete,
crawl spaces, sheathing and other
applications

. FOAMULAR
®
150
XPS insulation is classi ed as a
Type X product when tested in
accordance with ASTM C578
and provides a long-term thermal
performance of R-5 per inch.
Like all FOAMULAR
®
XPS
products, FOAMULAR
®
150
XPS insulation is made with
Owens Corning’s patented
Hydrovac
®
process technology
under strict quality control
measures, which makes it
highly resistant to moisture and
permits the product to retain
it’s high R-value year after year
even after prolonged exposure
to moisture, and freeze/thaw
cycling.

and standards
Product Applications
High-performance FOAMULAR
®
150 XPS insulation:
• Retards the transmission of
water vapor and moisture in
masonry walls
• Provides continuous insulation
over steel stud framing, in
insulated concrete sandwich
panel walls, or in masonry unit
cavity walls, or when used
with non-penetrating, surface
mounted furring systems over
masonry or concrete walls
• Insulates and retains its
properties in below grade
perimeter and foundation
applications, to complement the
insulating sheathing envelope
around the building framing
• FOAMULAR
®
150 XPS
insulation is ideal for below
grade applications. Extruded
polystyrene (XPS) is resistant
to degradation from the
components of common soils
and will retain its insulating
performance characteristics
even after prolonged exposure
to moisture.
