Chrome is a professional construction grade, graphite enhanced polystyrene (GPS) rigid foam insulation.
This next-generation product builds upon the Neopor® Plus brand and delivers the highest R-value performance with no LTTR loss. Chrome GPS is comprised of many small pockets of air within a polymer matrix containing graphite. The graphite reflects radiant heat energy like a mirror, increasing the material’s resistance to the flow of heat, or R-value.
Chrome GPS meets or exceeds CAN/ULC S 701 and ASTM C578 and is available in:
- Chrome GPS 1000 (Type 1) – 70 kPa (10 psi) Compressive strength
- Chrome GPS 1600 (Type 2) – 110 kPa (16 psi) Compressive strength
- Chrome GPS 2000 (Type 3) – 140 kPa (20 psi) Compressive strength
- Chrome GPS 2500 (Type IX)- 170 kPa (25 psi) Compressive strength
- Chrome GPS 3000 (Type IX) – 210 kPa (30 psi) Compressive Strength
Applications
- Perimeter insulation for grade beams and foundation walls.
- Under concrete slabs on grade
- Exterior Insulation
- Above-grade insulating sheathing under stucco and siding
- Masonry Cavity Walls
- Roof Insulation, flat and sloped applications
- Coolers, Freezers and Ice Arenas
- Floatation applications

- Packaging, protection, container linings
- Custom fabrications and applications
CHROME GPS is S.M.A.R.T. Insulation:
Stability
CHROME GPS provides stable long term R-value performance with no loss of R-value over time.
Moisture-management
CHROME GPS is breathable and semi-permeable and will reduce the risk of mold, rot and structural damage associated with moisture condensation and long-term water retention.
Adaptable
CHROME GPS powers up when it gets cold outside as the R-value increases as temperatures decrease.
Resource-efficient
CHROME GPS uses up to 30% less material compared to other rigid foam insulation to achieve the same R-value.
Third-Party Certified
CHROME GPS with Neopor ® Plus is GREENGUARD Gold Certified and has been referenced by both The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Building Rating System.
