10-100mm Blue Rigid XPS Foam for Refrigerated Truck
10-100mm Blue Rigid XPS Foam for Refrigerated Truck is a specialized insulation material designed to maintain precise temperature control in refrigerated transport vehicles. This high-performance extruded polystyrene foam delivers exceptional thermal efficiency, structural durability, and moisture resistance, making it the preferred choice for manufacturing refrigerated truck walls, roofs, and floors.
The primary role of refrigerated truck XPS foam boards is to regulate air circulation and partition the vehicle into distinct temperature zones. These boards come in two main types: standard extruded XPS foam boards and temperature-controlled variants. The latter are equipped with temperature-control mechanisms and fans to effectively manage the temperature within their designated zones.

Product Overview
The distinctive blue color indicates a specially formulated grade optimized for low-temperature applications, capable of maintaining stable insulation performance in environments ranging from -40℃ to 60℃. With over 25 years of proven success in the refrigerated transport industry, this XPS foam meets the stringent requirements of food safety, pharmaceutical transport, and chemical logistics sectors.
Material
This refrigerated truck insulation is composed of high-purity extruded polystyrene with a homogeneous closed-cell structure. The blue colorant is UV-stable and inert, ensuring color retention without affecting insulation properties. The material is produced using a proprietary extrusion process that creates uniform cell structure with cell density exceeding 100 cells per cubic centimeter, minimizing heat transfer through air movement within the foam. The formulation contains no plasticizers or halogenated flame retardants, ensuring compliance with food contact regulations such as FDA 21 CFR 177.1640. With a density of 30-38 kg/m³, it achieves the optimal balance between insulation efficiency and structural strength required for mobile applications.
Product Advantage
Temperature Regulation
The foam's thermal conductivity of 0.030 W/mK ensures minimal heat ingress, reducing refrigeration system workload by up to 20%. This efficiency translates to extended holding times for perishable goods, with temperature stability maintained for up to 48 hours during power interruptions. The material's low emissivity surface further enhances thermal performance by reflecting radiant heat away from the truck interior.
Structural Durability
With a compressive strength of 300 kPa, this rigid XPS foam withstands the constant vibrations and dynamic loads encountered in transportation. It maintains dimensional stability under repeated temperature cycling, preventing the delamination common in lesser insulation materials. The foam's high impact resistance reduces damage from cargo shifting, extending the service life of refrigerated truck bodies to 15+ years with proper maintenance.
Moisture Barrier
The 100% closed-cell structure provides water absorption of <1.0% by volume after 96 hours immersion, preventing moisture-related degradation in humid environments. This impermeability eliminates condensation issues within insulation layers, which can reduce thermal performance by up to 50% in porous materials. The foam's surface resists cleaning chemicals, ensuring easy maintenance without performance degradation.
Lightweight Efficiency
At 30-38 kg/m³ density, the foam reduces truck body weight by 15-20% compared to polyurethane alternatives, improving fuel efficiency and payload capacity. This weight advantage translates to an estimated 5-8% reduction in fuel consumption, providing significant operational cost savings over the vehicle lifespan. The material's rigidity allows for thinner insulation profiles while maintaining thermal performance, maximizing interior cargo space.

Product Operate Guide
"Steps for Constructing the Insulation Layer of a Refrigerated Truck:
1. Choose insulation material renowned for its exceptional heat preservation capabilities. Install it within the steel plates and envelop it around the vehicle body. Options include polyurethane and rigid polyurethane insulation materials.
2. During the insulation material installation, meticulous attention must be given to preventing any gaps between the insulation layers to uphold optimum thermal insulation effectiveness.
3. Secure the bond between the insulation material and the steel plate using methods such as riveting or fastening rings to reinforce the fixation of the insulation material."
