Ibhodi legwebu le-XPS, eliqanjwe njengebhodi lepulasitiki le-polystyrene extrusion (i-XPS ngamafuphi) linokwakheka kwe-alveolate engenasici evaliwe. Ukusebenza kwawo okunjengokuminyana, ukumuncwa kwamanzi, i-coefficient of heat conducting kanye ne-coefficient of steam pervasion nokunye kunenzuzo kunamanye amabhodi ezintweni zokulondoloza ukushisa futhi anezici zokuqina okuqinile, impahla ekhanyayo, i-airlight, i-anticorrosion, ukumelana nokuguga, izindleko eziphansi, njll. Isetshenziswe kabanzi emikhakheni yokugcinwa kokushisa nokushisa ukushisa embonini yezokwakha, ukumelana nesithwathwa somgwaqo omkhulu, ujantshi, isikhumulo sezindiza, isikwele kanye nokufakwa kwasendlini. Kuyavunywa ngokujwayelekile futhi iyimpahla engcono kakhulu yokugcina ukushisa emakethe njengamanje.
