One of the most important features in hot climate constructing areas is the Thermal Insulation; as a well insulated building will help immensely in decreasing electrical power consumption required for air-conditioning.
Developments in the insulation technology led to the introduction of Extruded Polystyrene Sheets or XPS which we labeled SuperFoam as the trademark of our product.
XPS became a must in heat insulation for the following:

• A High thermal insulation capability compared with other types of insulating materials (EPS, polyurethane, perlite, plywood, etc.).
• The mechanical and chemical stability of the XPS versus time.
• A High water absorbing resistance.
• A High compressive strength even after 24 hours of dipping in water.
• An Environmentally friendly.

The above mentioned features introduced XPS as the best option for:

• A Wall insulating.
• A Roof insulating.
• A Refrigerator buildings.
• Floor freezing and swelling control.

The final products standard sheet size is suitable for transportation and usage on site. In addition, our factory has the ability to produce different, widths and lengths, as required, for special orders or jobs.
And to counter the problem of open joints between individual sheets, our product is fitted with all-round interlock edges, which overlap each sheet to the other, ensuring full insulation capacity for the whole surface.
Customer options such as fire resistance, Different panel densities, thickness, and Specific hardness Could be Satisfied.
For all the above mentioned facts, Al Etihad made huge efforts, to proudly be, the first company in the UAE to produce on industrial scale, the Extruded Polystyrene Sheets with a capacity of 130 m3 per day and proudly presented SUPERFOAM®.
