STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam

STYROFOAM™ Brand Insulation and Foam versus Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)


STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam is often used to refer to expanded polystyrene even though the materials are completely different.

STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam is a registered trademark of the DuPont Chemical Company (“DuPont”) or an affiliated company of DuPont. The trademark covers a full range of extruded polystyrene building products used primarily for insulation of floors, walls and roof systems. The insulation panels are commonly referred to as “blue board” in the construction industry. Most often the word Styrofoam is used as a generic words for expanded polystyrene foam like cooler and packaging materials and disposable coffee cups.
