ISOFOIL, an exposed insulation is a lightweight compressible insulation material manufactured from thermally bonded polyester.
The combination of materials – an outer jacket of polythene sheeting or aluminium foil together with the polyester insulation - is simple and safe to install. No loose fibres; no itching, no damage to eyes and lungs.
| Melting point: |
250°C |
| Percent volatiles: |
Nil. ISOFOIL has no chemical additives, no odour or emission of volatile organic compounds unlike certain other insulating materials that contain free formaldehyde emissions (CAS No 50-00-0 which has a possible cancer causing effect on humans). |
| Specific gravity: |
1.38 |
| Auto-ignition temp: |
515°C (Din 51794) |
| Fire properties: |
CSIR tests incorporating the product in a normal over-purlin installation proved that, with ISOFOIL, the spread of flame is negligible. |
| Other properties: |
Non-allergenic, non irritant, resilient. |
| Ingredients: |
Organic, long chain synthetic polymer. |
| Chemical entity: |
Composed of carbon – hydrogen. |
| Max. service temp: |
150°C (When using a laminate, the adhesive limits the maximum service temperature to 70°C.) |
| Alkalinity: |
pH 7.8 |
| Moisture absorption: |
Exposure to an atmosphere of 50°C and 95% relative humidity for four days gives moisture absorption of less than 0.2% by volume. |
