Filcor - Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Structural Fill Material
Filcor EPS is an Expanded Polystyrene lightweight structural fill alternative to more traditional fill materials or as a lightweight void former in structural concrete. The standard (and the maximum) sheet or block size is 2400mm long x 1200mm wide x required thickness. The thicknesses from 25mm to 1200mm, the length and width can be changed (max. 2400mm x 1200mm) . Depending on the grade, Filcor can be used from 800mm to 7600mm of 25kN/m3 concrete above it.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Available in different grades depending on density and compressive strength,
- Can be ordered to thicknesses from 25mm to 1200mm,
- Lightweight and easy to handle,
- Easy to cut and be profiled,
- Provides a high degree of insulation,
- Fire retardant version available,
- Up to 200mm thickness, sheets are supplied wrapped in a protective polythene cover.
INSTALLATION
- Filcor EPS sheets or blocks should be weighted down or secured, due to the relatively light nature of the product,
- Filcor EPS should be positioned on a firm level surface, with joints between individual sheets/blocks, staggered where possible,
- If the depth of Filcor EPS required exceeds the maximum individual sheet/block depth of 1200mm, then further layers can be added to achieve the total depth required. It is suggested that each layer is installed perpendicular to the previous one in order to distribute load as equally as possible,
- Can be carried out using a fine toothed saw, or alternatively a hot wire cutter.
