STYRO EPS – Floor Raised & Light weight fill application;



Where it is used?

Let it be a Dwelling , Villa, Apartment, Stadium , Cinema hall, High raised building , Swimming pool, Malls, Show rooms ,Theme Parks , Gardens the construction work can’t be comprised without having modular light weight construction fill material i.e. Styro Expanded polystyrene (EPS).


Why STYRO EPS is imperative and inevitable when it comes to Raised access floor & Light weight fill application

Floor raising can be done by using conventional soil or light weight screed / concrete, however Engineers , Architects facing few challenges while they choose conventional material for floor raising and light weight filling .

What Challenges Engineers faces while they choose Raised access floor & Light weight fill application?

1. First and foremost challenges is weight constraint; Light weight fill & Floor raise fill material should be very light in weight , it should not influence any stress or strain on the structure of the building.

2. Load bearing constraint: light weight material should meet load specs. of consultant and contractor.

3. Cost constraint : Floor raise material must be Cheaper cost in relation with conventional filling material available in the market

4. Time Constraint; Work should be completed on fast track

5. Re-design flexibility & Workability: Filling material should be easy enough to remove in case if any re-design comes in mind a over a period of usage.

6. It should be good insulation, resilient, having good acoustic properties

7. To comply all Environment issues such as Recycling or Re-usage & Sustainability


Which material meets all the above challenges?

All civil Engineers , Architects , Contractor and Consultant unilaterally agreed without any second opinion that STYRO expanded polystyrene EPS is one of the right choice to use as Floor raising & light weight fill application .


Features of Styro EPS LW / FR material

It is the only material meeting all the properties of Geo Technical , Construction Engineering at affordable price, find below few Physical & Mechanical properties of STYRO EPS…

Physical properties

· Unlike traditional earth filling material it is very light weight

· It has Excellent compressive strength,

· Excellent Dimensional Stability

· Low water absorption

· Good Acoustic properties

· Durability

· Flame retardant

· Good flexural Strength (From 70 to 450 KPA)


Handling at the site:

· Easy workability at the site, STYRO- EPS maximizes onsite installation efficiency

· It is easily inventoried and handled. Installation is not delayed by weather.

· STYRO EPS can arrive at the job site prefabricated and ready to place.

· 40 trucks of soil is equivalent to one truck of Styro EPS


Chemical Resistant Behaviors:

· Non toxic , Non Nutrient , Inert material, Corrosion resistant

· It doesn’t react with most of the chemicals except solvents & Solvent vapors

· Resistant to chemical attacks

· Non – biodegradable


Environmental factors:

· Environment friendly,

· 100 % Recyclable

· LEED ( Leadership in Energy & Environment Design approved)

· HCFC , CFC free ,

· Global Warming Potential (GWP) is <5

· Ozone Depleting Potential ( ODP) is Zero

· Sustainable
