What is Rigid Foam Insulation Market?
Rigid foam insulation is an innovative construction and building material that can reduce a building’s energy use and helps to control the indoor temperature. Rigid foam insulations are high-performing and help to effectively seal gaps and close air leaks, which maintains indoor air temperature and reduce a building’s energy usage. It is made up of three different types of plastics including polyisocyanurate (polyiso), extruded polystyrene (XPS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS), which offer energy saving, durability and moisture control. Rigid foam insulation used for many types of insulation from the foundation to the roof of the building.
The market study is being classified by Type (Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso), Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)), by Application (Thermal Insulation, Hybrid Insulation and Acoustic Insulation) and major geographies with country level break-up.
Covestro AG (Germany), BASF SE (Germany), Huntsman International LLC (United States), Kingspan Group PLC (Ireland), Lapolla Industries, Inc. (United States), Owens Corning (United States), Recticel Group (Belgium), Saint-Gobain (France), Dow Chemical Company (United States) and Johns Manville (United States) are some of the key players profiled in the study.
