Dyplast Products Releases - QWIK GUIDE: GeoFoam (Geo-Technical EPS)


Dyplast Products recently issued another a one-page Qwik Guide on Dyplast® EPS GeoFoam. What is Geofoam? It is a large expanded polystyrene (EPS) rigid foam block, typically used as a light-weight/high-strength structural replacement for soil in geo-technical projects as shown in our case study entitled GeoFoam Project: Sharpes Ferry Bridge or as structural alternatives in applications such as stadium seating and swimming pool foundations in Florida's high-rise hotels and residences.  Dyplast GeoFoam is approximately 1% of the weight of most sandy and/or average moisture soils, and is particularly advantageous in applications where proper soil alternatives. 

This Qwik Guide can be found on our web-site www.dyplast.com under the resources drop down.

Qwik Guide for Petroleum, Chemical, and Pharmaceutical Low Temperature Insulation


Petro/Chem/Pharma plants are increasingly focused design and management of their lower temperature and cryogenic processes, not only to reduce energy loss but to improve process efficiencies - - and in the case of chemical and pharmaceutical to enable more selective and specialized chemical reactions at very low temperatures. This Qwik Guide considers the role of the insulation in these efforts since it has a material impact not only on life-cycle cost, but also on life-cycle-performance and risk.
