ТехноНИКОЛЬ XPS

What ТехноНИКОЛЬ XPS does

ТехноНИКОЛЬ XPS is the extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) thermal insulation product line of TechnoNIKOL Corporation (ООО «ТЕХНОНИКОЛЬ — Строительные Системы»), a privately held Russian construction-materials manufacturer founded in 1994 by Sergey Kolesnikov. The product portfolio is built on a proprietary CARBON Technology that uses carbon particles to stabilize compressive strength and thermal conductivity across the material's service life, certified to last 50+ years by the NIIPSF RAASN research institute. The lineup spans three sub-brands — CARBON ECO for residential and general construction, CARBON PROF for professional and industrial applications, and CARBON SAND for sandwich panels, isothermal vans, and reinforced concrete — each with multiple application-specific variants including milled-surface facade boards, Swedish-slab foundation boards, and pre-cut sloped boards for flat-roof drainage.

The business operates within TechnoNIKOL Corporation's broader platform of 70+ production sites, 19 Training Centers, and 7 Research Centers, serving three primary segments: professional construction (foundations, roofs, facades, floors for commercial, industrial, and civil projects), private residential construction (cottage and townhouse insulation), and industrial construction (high-load-bearing applications). Distribution is executed through a dual channel model combining direct enterprise sales offices across Russia with a direct-to-customer e-commerce storefront (shop.tn.ru). The company holds ГОСТ compliance certification across the full product range, the СТО 72746455 corporate standard for facade applications, and voluntary Листок Жизни environmental certification for residential use on the CARBON ECO line. International reach is achieved through TechnoNIKOL Corporation's CIS and European operations, while ownership remains founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional or public-market participation.

Core offering

TechnoNIKOL XPS manufactures and sells extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) thermal insulation boards with a uniformly distributed closed-cell structure, sold under CARBON ECO, CARBON PROF, and CARBON SAND product lines. The boards are used for thermal insulation of foundations, roofs, facades, floors, engineering structures, roads, sandwich panels, and isothermal vehicles, with carbon-particle-stabilized strength and thermal conductivity rated for a minimum 50-year service life.

Product overview

ТЕХНОНИКОЛЬ XPS is a manufacturer of extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) insulation materials with uniformly distributed closed cells. The product portfolio consists of multiple specialized product lines: CARBON ECO series (general construction, facade, Swedish slab foundations, standard grade), CARBON SAND series (for sandwich panels, isothermal vans, reinforced concrete products), and CARBON PROF series (professional grade with enhanced compressive strength for industrial applications and slope systems). XPS materials offer high compressive strength, low thermal conductivity, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, and minimum 50-year service life. Products are certified to ГОСТ standards and carry voluntary 'Листок Жизни' (Life Sheet) environmental certification. The company operates over 70 production sites and 7 research centers as part of the larger TechnoNIKOL corporation.

Voluntary Листок Жизни (Life Sheet) certification confirms safety for residential construction.
• CARBON ECO FAS (КАРБОН ЭКО ФАСАД) Professional XPS insulation for facade and plinth with specially milled surface and micro-grooves for maximum adhesion with surfaces and plaster compositions. Based on СТО: 72746455-3.3.1-2012 corporate standard.
• CARBON ECO SP (КАРБОН ЭКО «Шведская плита») Specialized XPS product for organizing monolithic slab foundations (Swedish slab technology), featuring high compressive strength at 2% compression, increased board length, low thermal conductivity, and moisture resistance. Durability confirmed by NIISF RAASN for over 50 years.
• CARBON ECO 250 (КАРБОН ЭКО 250) XPS insulation with uniformly distributed closed cells and increased compressive strength, chemically resistant and not subject to decay. Designed to provide even and rigid base that significantly extends the life of the entire thermal insulation system.
• CARBON SAND MON (КАРБОН СЭНД ЖБИ) XPS insulation boards developed for monolithic housing construction and production of three-layer reinforced concrete products.
• CARBON SAND VAN FAS (КАРБОН СЭНД ФУРГОН) XPS insulation boards designed for sheathing of isothermal vans, vehicle bodies, modular wagons, and other structures.
• CARBON SAND PVC (КАРБОН СЭНД ПВХ) XPS insulation boards specifically designed for use as a core in thermal insulation sandwich panels.
• CARBON PROF (КАРБОН ПРОФ) Professional XPS insulation with enhanced compressive strength and low thermal conductivity, using carbon particles to stabilize performance. RF-marked products contain fire retardants. Durability confirmed by NIISF RAASN for over 50 years.
• CARBON PROF 300 (КАРБОН ПРОФ 300) Professional XPS insulation for civil and industrial construction, used in foundations, stilobates, facades, plinths, flat roofs, floors including loaded applications.
