Introduction
At Durafoam, we’re proud of our extruded polystyrene foam products. We don’t just make sure they’re safe for the environment — we also take care to ensure that they’re safe for the communities where our customers live and work. When the Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) began a series of tests on products like ours, we were confident that we could pass with flying colors, but even more than that it was an opportunity to educate people about our brand and its commitment to safety in manufacturing. Here’s what OSHA discovered when it tested our products:
Sustainability is as important to Durafoam as it is to our community.
Durafoam is a family-owned business with an unwavering devotion to quality. We have been manufacturing extruded polystyrene foam since 1955, and we have been committed to innovation in the industry ever since.
Durafoam is a global leader in the extruded polystyrene foam industry, with an extensive range of products from standard wall insulation to custom solutions for specific applications. As a subsidiary of The Durafoam Group—an international holding company that focuses on providing innovative products for construction and building material applications—we are able to provide customers with solutions designed specifically for their needs.
Our ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facilities are located around the world, including facilities in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific regions; each location is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that enables us to manufacture quality products while reducing environmental impact through energy efficient processes and recycling schemes.
We use only materials that are absolutely safe for people and the environment.

We don’t use any harmful substances, like CFCs, HCFCs or HFCs.
Our products meet OSHA regulations. We’re leading the way in green policy toward other manufacturers and businesses.
In our manufacturing processes, we don’t use any harmful substances, like CFCs, HCFCs or HFCs.
In our manufacturing processes, we don’t use any harmful substances, like CFCs, HCFCs or HFCs. These chemicals are all detrimental to the environment and can cause serious health problems for people. Durafoam uses 100% recyclable virgin polystyrene foam which is safe for everyone on your team to work with.
While OSHA was conducting its tests on fumes, it discovered none of the troubling chemicals or compounds it was investigating.
When OSHA was conducting its tests on fumes, it discovered none of the troubling chemicals or compounds it was investigating. In fact, what they found were trace amounts of styrene in the manufacturing process. Because under 30 parts per million of styrene is considered safe by modern standards, Durafoam doesn’t have to worry about being put out of business by OSHA regulations; we are in compliance with all federal workplace safety laws and regulations.
We aren’t just compliant with OSHA standards — we’re leading the way in green policy toward other manufacturers and businesses.
Durafoam is a leader in green policy, green technology and manufacturing, and business. We are the only extruded polystyrene foam manufacturer that has an OSHA compliant work environment. We don’t just meet OSHA standards; we exceed them by having a zero-particulate building material operation that keeps our products clean of harmful particulates (Fibrous glass). Our Zero Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) program ensures that there is no ozone depletion from our operations which causes global warming and climate change. We also have an ongoing recycling effort to keep our products 100% recyclable at the end of their useful lives. All these efforts make it possible for us to continue providing safe workplaces for all industry workers around the world who use Durafoam products such as foamed plastics, sheets or blocks for various applications including insulation in construction projects like houses or schools where children will play inside those buildings after construction finishes.”
Products made from EPS are 100% recyclable.
EPS is 100% recyclable and made from a renewable resource, polystyrene. That’s why we’re able to guarantee that our products won’t offgas harmful fumes or release any toxic substances into the environment during their lifetimes or after they reach the end of their useful lives.
We believe that all products should be made from recycled material and Durafoam extruded polystyrene foam is one of them!
Our extruded polystyrene foam is a sustainable and environmentally friendly product that doesn’t offgas volatile compounds, hydrocarbons or other hazardous gases.
Our extruded polystyrene foam is a sustainable and environmentally friendly product that doesn’t offgas volatile compounds, hydrocarbons or other hazardous gases. It’s an ideal solution for those who are looking for an affordable way to improve their working conditions.
Our EPS panels have been tested in accordance with the ISO 9001:2015 standards and have been found to be safe for people and the environment. Our products don’t emit harmful fumes when they’re burned, which makes them a good choice if you’re planning on using your building as part of your recycling program.
EPS itself is 100% recyclable material, so you can feel confident knowing that it won’t contribute to landfill waste once your building has served its purpose!
