Product Description
Phenolic foam is a uniquely versatile material being suitable for a large range of applications. Phenolic foam has been used in heating, ventilating and air conditioning applications for many years. The foam is cut to accurate tolerances on computer controlled cutting equipment.
Temperature Range
Phenolic foam may be used for pipework and equipment operating within the temperature range –180°C to +120°C / –292°F to +248ºF.
Thermal Performance
Phenolic Foam has a low thermal conductivity which allows thermal performance standards to be reached through using minimal thickness of insulation. This is good for space saving, and can be used in confined spaces. Additionally it can result in a lower surface area and savings on finishing materials.
Structure
It has a high closed cell content and fine cell structure.
Moisture Resistance
This insulation has a 95% closed cell content that makes it non-wicking and highly resistant to moisture penetration which is useful in humid conditions where a build up of moisture could compromise the performance of lesser insulation materials. This insulation works well for cold, chilled and low temperature hot work pipework.
Chemical Resistance
This insulation is resistant to a large variety of oils, solvents and chemicals; it is compatible with most solvent based coatings and adhesives, polyester and epoxy resin based coatings. This allows them to sustain physical integrity protection from these substances.
Fire Performance
This insulation has good resistance to burning and spread of flame, additionally there is almost complete absence of smoke when this material is subjected to a flame source, buying valuable time for evacuation.
Quality Assurance
Phenolic Insulation is manufactured to the highest quality standards under the quality control system approved to BS EN ISO 9001:2000/ EN ISO 9001:2000.
