FIBRANxps 700 conforms to the European Regulation 305/2011 (CPR), which replaced the European Directive 89/106/ΕEC, and is produced according to the European Standards EN 13164 (Thermal insulation products for buildings - Factory made products of extruded polystyrene foam(XPS) and EN 13172.
It is certified by international independent Notified Bodies and carries CE marking. Extruded polystyrene insulation boards FIBRANxps 700 are produced with the extrusion of polystyrene foam and are characterized by very dense closed micro-cell structure. The minuscule, thin, rigid and closed polystyrene cells contain enclosed inert gas and air, such that they achieve very high insulating capacity, whilst also remaining dry in environments with increased moisture (basements, inverted roofs, indoor swimming pools, etc.). It is the only insulating material with especially high mechanical strength, water-resistant yet with balanced water vapor diffusion resistance.
- Advantages

- Applications
The rigid extruded polystyrene boards FIBRANxps 700 are suitable for application in all types of building constructions, even in wet environments and applications with increased compressive and tensile loads.
- Application and Protection
During the installation of FIBRANxps boards, all construction requirements for the correct application of the insulation should be considered. FIBRANxps boards must be applied on flat and clean surfaces. They may easily be cut with a sharp standing knife or hot wire. The edges of FIBRANxps boards are formed with «I» straight, «L» shiplap or «D» tongue-and-groove profiles. When applying the boards in a single layer, boards with «L» or «D» edge profiles are recommended in order to avoid thermal bridges that may occur at the joints.
Naked flame torches or similar appliances should not be used during the application of extruded polystyrene FIBRANxps boards. Wherever FIBRANxps boards are to be applied over basement waterproofing membranes, do not use mechanical anchors but FIBRANstick auto adhesive tapes. When applying FIBRANxps boards on large surfaces, especially on warm flat roofs, it is necessary to construct expansion joints with the use of stone wool and elastic sealing mastic.
When cutting FIBRANxps Extruded Polystyrene boards with hot wire, applicators should take all necessary self-protection measures (working suit, gloves, goggles).

Storage & Handling
- Handling and Storage
FIBRANxps thermal insulation boards are resistant to cold, rain and snow, but not to long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, the products’ packaging should only be removed just before their installation. In case the original packaging film is torn, the boards must be protected from direct sunlight. Although FIBRANxps boards are among the toughest materials on the market, contact with sharp objects may damage or deform them.
FIBRANxps boards may be used at maximum temperature of 75°C. However, if they are stored outdoors and exposed to direct sunlight or wrapped in dark packaging material, deformation of the boards may occur due to the high temperatures that develop.
FIBRANxps boards must not come into contact with solvents such as petrol, tar and formic acid, or with gasses such as methane, ethane, propane and butane. Prior to applying a cleaning product on the boards’ surface, it is recommended to first test the material’s resistance to the particular cleaning agent. Please consult our Technical Department, if in doubt.
FIBRANxps boards are moderately resistant to substances such as mineral and food oils, paraffin, phenol and fats; this means that long-term exposure to these substances may affect their surface appearance or structure. FIBRANxps boards are highly resistant to water-soluble bitumen products, lime, cement, lime plaster, seawater, chlorines, most acids, inorganic gasses, alcohol and silicon. In case of doubt, a preliminary test is recommended.
