SOLUTION FOR HYDROPONIC VEGETABLE GROWING
Advanced high-tech extruded Remak® XPS has a perfectly closed-cell molecular structure with a list of outstanding characteristics, such as: lightweight, extreme durability, clean, odorless, high compressive strength, good water resistance, low thermal conductivity coefficient, corrosive resistance, floatable, low cost… It begins to become an essential material in hydroponic agriculture.
DESCRIPTION
Because of the increasing demands for clean and organic food resources recently, hydroponic vegetable growing system is developing at a considerably fast pace around the world.
This system is simple because of its wide variety of choices in size according to certain conditions and purposes. For example, it is possible to grow vegetables on a household scale or multiply it on a commercial scale.
Instead of using soil like in traditional farming, this system uses water that contains microorganisms to nourish and help plants grow. To build this system, floating rafts to support plants are indispensable.
Floating rafters are essential to hydroponic vegetable growing systems. They directly determine the quality and quantity of the vegetables. Especially in large-scale hydroponic vegetable systems, this factor also significantly determines the competitive price of products.
Hydroponic vegetable growing with Remak® XPS foam is a modern, advanced and water-saving method. Remak® XPS is considered as a highly stable and durable insulation material, especially it is not decomposed by water as well as chemicals. Therefore, it is resistant to mold, mildew, corrosion, etc.
Advantages
Building's lifespan increasing
Remak® XPS protects buildings from extreme weather, thereby increasing the lifespan of buildings.
Excellent Thermal Insulation
With an impressive thermal conductivity 0.027W/mK, our Remak® XPS foams are ideal for insulation projects.
Convenient for Site Construction
Our XPS boards are light for easy installing without affecting the bearing capacity of the structure, and can be cut on site for quick construction.
Durability
The stability of polystyrene gives our Remak® XPS a longer lifespan, making it usable for more than 30 years.
Good Sound Insulation Effect
Remak® XPS with a closed cell structure is a soundproof material and capable of reducing noise transmission.
Recyclability
Remak® XPS is 100% recyclable. It is used for circular construction projects and can be reused in our XPS production process instead of being released into the environment.
Great Moisture Resistance
Our XPS insulation foams' closed cell structure ensure low water absorption and high moisture resistance
Reliable Flame Retardation
Our XPS boards are compliant with B1 flame standards, reduce fire hazards and ensure fire safety in constructions.
No Mildew
Remak® XPS does not absorb moisture, so it does not present a favorable environment for mold and bacteria to grow.
