Styrofoam XPS sheets 60x20x5cms Hobby Blue foam Diorama Models

"This Foam feels like Butter" , "Best foam for hobby" , "So many uses with this, cuts like a cake"

STYRO FOAM or XPS (EXTRUDED POLYSTYRENE SHEETS) have the following unique features which is why is it is superior compared to any other type of foam available in the market.

1) CUTTBLE : means just cut them using your hobby knife or stanley knife for a clean cut without any debris or dust.

2) SANDABLE : use any type of suitable sandpaper and make the smooth surface you need or the curve you require
3) GLUEABLE : hot melt or UHU or PVA.. us any glue that you feel best suits the purpose
4) CARVABLE : use suitable filing rod to carve the shape you want
5) LIGHT WEIGHT: no matter how big they are they are so light, you feel like holding nothing
6) WATER PROOF, FLAME RETARDANT, VERY STRONG

>> Sheet Size (L X B X H) : 60cm x 20cm x 5 cm

GIVEN BELOW ARE SOME OF ITS STRENGTHS

1) Superior rigidity
2) Superior water resistance assures stable performance
3) Low density
4) Flame retardant makes it have flame retardant properties
5) Excellent moisture resistance
6) Wide choice of thickness, board widths and edge details
7) Excellent compressive strengths
8) Lightweight, high hardness, easy to fabricate, handle and install
9) Designed for use in high load bearing applications
10) High compressive strength resists damage from heavy loads

Extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam has been used with great success as a modelling foam for many years. Strong, lightweight and versatile - XPS has been used for everything from competition grade surfboards to remote control planes & vehicles, outdoor water features to model railway dioramas, architectural models and even triathlon racing bike frames.

XPS boards are lightweight with a high compressive strength rating. The unique closed cell structure/cell shape of XPS results in no voids between cells, the result of an exclusive extrusion process that assures uniform, predictable, stable physical properties.

XPS is a thermoplastic and retreats from fire. It also contains a flame retardant additive to inhibit accidental ignition from small fire sources eg., over-heated wires or welding sparks. The cell structure of XPS enables it to resits all forms of water and moisture penetration.

XPS is chemically and physiologically inert,it creates no dust and will not support mould or mildew and is non allergenic. XPS is not a known food source to vermin or insects.

Cutting and Shaping
Due to the homogeneous cell structure and uniform density of XPS it can be cut accurately and to very close tolerances. XPS is easy to cut and shape with a range of tools including a hot wire cutter, serrated knife, hacksaw, floral knife. To cut a thick piece, or several sheets stacked together, try using an old electric knife.

Painting
XPS can be painted with an acrylic craft and/or water based paint. Avoid using solvent based paints as these may damage the foam. Some spray paints are safe to use - read the label carefully to determine whether or not it is foam approved.

Adhesives
For a fast, sure bond, use a low-temperature glue gun (using a non-solvent base such as an epoxy resin and/or polyurethane adhesive) which can be purchased from your local hardware store. Hot Glue also works fine as long as you are careful with the temperature.
