PS Foam Underlayment Production Line Overview
The PS Foam Underlayment Production Line produces lightweight, high-strength PS foamed boards for flooring underlay, floor heating leveling panels, and base layers for wood, vinyl, LVT and SPC flooring. With controlled foaming technology, the finished boards offer leveling, insulation, sound reduction and comfortable walking performance.
MXZ provides an integrated automatic solution covering extrusion, CO₂ injection, sheet forming, gas release, secondary foaming and folding/stacking. The line is built for stable output, consistent density and efficient large-scale production.

Materials & Process Advantages
PS Raw Material Processing
Polystyrene-Based Foam Board Production
• Uses PS as the main material for lightweight foamed underlayment boards
• Suitable for producing flooring base panels with insulation and cushioning performance
• Designed for stable sheet forming and consistent surface quality
• Supports customized product specifications according to market demand
CO₂ Foaming Technology
High-Ratio CO₂ Physical Foaming
• Uses CO₂ as a physical blowing agent to improve production safety
• Helps reduce reliance on flammable blowing agents
• Supports lower VOC emission and more environmentally friendly production
• Contributes to cost control in blowing-agent consumption
• CO₂ usage can reach around 40% under the company’s process design.
Secondary Foaming Technology
Precision Oven-Based Secondary Expansion
• Tunnel-type heating oven promotes controlled secondary expansion
• Multi-zone temperature control helps stabilize board thickness and density
• Uniform hot-air circulation reduces deformation, shrinkage and uneven foaming
• Finished boards gain better dimensional stability, compressive performance and toughness.
• Available finish: Hard anodized, chromate conversion

FAQ
- Q: What is the maximum output of your production line?
- Q: Which blowing agents are supported?A:We support a wide range of blowing agents, including CO₂, ethanol, butane, DME, HFC, LPG, HFO, pentane, freon, etc. For the Russian market, we also provide solutions compatible with isobutane blends, with butane mixtures being generally recommended.
- Q: What is the density range of the products?A:The typical density range is 24–50 kg/m³. Under specific process conditions, ultra-low densities of 21–22 kg/m³ can be achieved.
- Q: What is the maximum compressive strength?A:The maximum compressive strength exceeds 1,200 kPa, meeting requirements for high-performance structural applications.
- Q: What is the available thickness range for XPS boards?A:The thickness ranges from 10–200 mm, and custom sizes are available upon request.
- Q: Which countries do you export to?A:We are a leading XPS equipment manufacturer in China with approximately 60% market share. Our machines have been exported to multiple countries and regions, including Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Egypt, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iran, Poland, Ecuador, Serbia, and more.
- Q: What is the width range of the XPS foam boards?A:The standard width is 600–1,200 mm. Non-standard widths can also be customized.
- Q: Can I purchase a single unit of the production line?A:Yes. We offer both turnkey solutions and individual equipment sales, such as main cutters and blowing agent dosing systems.
- Q: What is the thermal conductivity of XPS boards?A:It typically ranges between 0.024–0.038 W/(m·K). The exact value depends on raw materials, board thickness, and structure.
- Q: Do you offer lab-scale foam extrusion equipment?A:Currently, we do not provide lab-scale extrusion equipment.
