EPS core with mgo board on surface sandwich panels, structural insulated panel(sip board) for buildings

 Structural insulated panels (or structural insulating panels), SIPs, are a composite building material. They consist of an insulating layer of rigid core sandwiched between two layers of structural board(Ours is TSM board). The board can be sheet metal, plywood, cement, magnesium oxide board (MgO) or oriented strand board (OSB) and the core either expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), polyisocyanurate foam, polyurethane foam or composite honeycomb (HSC).

SIPs share the same structural properties as an I-beam or I-column. The rigid insulation core of the SIP acts as a web, while the sheathing fulfills the function of the flanges. SIPs combine several components of conventional building, such as studs and joists, insulation, vapor barrier and air barrier. They can be used for many different applications, such as exterior wall, roof, floor and foundation systems.
