ASTM D1784 Committee

The ASTM D1784 Committee develops standardized testing methods and specifications for expanded or extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam, a versatile insulation material. This committee ensures that products meet consistent quality and performance criteria, facilitating safe and reliable use in construction and other applications. Their work involves creating guidelines for manufacturing, testing, and evaluating the physical and chemical properties of XPS foam, helping manufacturers, engineers, and architects select appropriate materials and ensure compliance with industry standards. Ultimately, the ASTM D1784 Committee promotes consistency, safety, and innovation within the foam insulation industry.
