It's polyurethane foam, not polystyrene. Cannot be used for attic insulation as it will not meet fire regulations without first being treated with a fire inhibitor. When this stuff burns, it burns very quickly and hot, with massive amounts of highly toxic smoke. Any scraps and offcuts you may have are hard to dispose of, as they cannot be included in domestic waste. This is considered industrial waste.
@@emeltea33 I slept during Chemistry class! As for insulation, I never said for your home. They can be used for insulating things like compressors, generator housings ect. I own a gen and a compressor with this exact stuff. I will call the County Emergency Hazmat team to get rid of the scrap pieces I cut.
Well your math stinks. I gave 3 or 4 uses and assumed all viewers are Genius. But since you don't think they are, you could have blessed everyone with more applications rather than then just come at me. Know what I mean? Or did my 40v saw intimidate you?
I insulated my first house with something similar, forcing them between the 2x10 ceiling joists. After the first winter the gas company visited my home to see how I had bypassed the meter. I had not done so, but, with the added insulation my gas heating bill dropped from over $350 average month to ~$50 month. Really good for attic insulation if you have sufficient quantities. They were scrap from where I worked!
Cant anyone listen. I never said use them in a bumper of a car. I was talking about around a poll like a church where children play. These make great poll bumpers.

I can think of a million uses, only lists 2. Also that isn't Styrofoam.

We appreciate the comment
That is awesome. I forgot to say they would be great for what you did. The other huge benefit would be sound proofing!
Flammable?..
@@thomgreve YES...and deadly to anyone downwind.
That looks like it could be lots of fun.
So do you actually sell car parts and fix stuff? Also who still uses oil to heat a house?
Everyone on the East Coast of the US.
Styrofoam retains water, putting them in the bumper of a car is the worst idea.
