Company Information
DiversiFoam Products manufactures block-molded expanded polystyrene (EPS)
products, as well as extruded boards of polystyrene and fabricated urethane
blocks. Most of these products are sold for use in the construction industry
(new and retrofit). DiversiFoam Products also manufactures a wide variety of
board for specialty applications including wall insulation, roofing insulation,
garage door panels, foundation insulation, sheathing, dock floatation, and
packaging - both protective and decorative.
EPS board made from molded block is relatively
low cost, offering the highest R-value ( insulation capability) per dollar of
any of the company's product offerings. Extruded polystyrene board, while more
expensive than EPS, offers higher R-value per inch, higher compressive strength
with less moisture absorption. Rigid urethane offers even higher R-value per
inch and even more compressive strength than extruded polystyrene. Rigid
urethane is often used as a roofing insulation where it can be installed
directly onto a metal roof deck.
Packaging products are also manufactured from
EPS. DiversiFoam Products produces two major packaging product lines: wire cut
and shape molded. Each type uses expanded polystyrene, however, in the wire cut
segment , we fabricate the part out of a standard billet of EPS using hot wires
controlled by a computer-numerical-control. The shape molded product is produced
to specific dimensions through the use of die molds built specifically for the
part being generated.
DiversiFoam Products, a Minnesota corporation
is a manufacturer of expanded and extruded polystyrene. The company operates three
plants; two in Rockford, Minnesota and one in Mendota, Illinois. The corporate
office is maintained in Rockford, Minnesota.
