Product Description
Insulfoam® GF Geofoam is a high-performance lightweight fill material made from closed-cell expanded polystyrene (EPS). Engineered to meet ASTM D6817 standards, these lightweight blocks are used for infrastructure applications—such as roadways, bridge abutments, retaining walls, and engineered fill—where traditional soil fill would require costly surcharge, compaction, or settlement control.
Key Benefits
- Lightweight: Reduces need for surcharge, preloading, or heavy compaction.
- Weather & Moisture Resistance: Withstands freeze-thaw, road salts, moisture, mold, and insect exposure.
- No Settlement: EPS blocks remain stable over time, minimizing structural inconsistencies.
- Custom Build: Available in tailored densities and block sizes to fit project specs.
- Eco-Friendly: 100 % recyclable and free from HCFCs or formaldehyde.
- Easy Installation: Lightweight, can be cut on-site with simple tools—no heavy machinery required.
