Benefits
  

IsoBoard thermal insulation is a high density, rigid, extruded polystyrene insulation board. With a 100% closed cell structure produced on a fully automated extrusion process in accordance with international specifications and standards. In controlled environments e.g. air-conditioned office blocks, wine cellars, etc., payback period ranges from 2 - 5 years, due to savings on energy costs.
 

In uncontrolled buildings, IsoBoard acts to control thermal temperature to with in the comfort zone of around 20 - 30 Celsius.
  

Isoboard Has Characteristics such as
  


* High resistance to heat flow i.e. low thermal conductivity.
* Resistance to water vapour diffusion and water absorption.
* Uniform density distribution.
* Very high compressive strength.
* Ageing resistance.
* Resistance to bacteria and Micro-organism growth.

 

As a result of all these, as well as many other benefits, IsoBoard is sufficiently versatile to make it an innovative and cost effective alternative to conventional insulation products. It also means that IsoBoard can be used in various applications in numerous different markets.
 

Advantages

IsoBoard retards heat flow into buildings in summer.

IsoBoard keeps heat inside buildings during winter.

Heat Flow: IsoBoard has a k-value of 0,024W/m∞C (determined in accordance with ISO 8302:1991(E) or ASTM C518) at 20∞C mean temperature and 90 day aged. The k-value will increase with time when exposed to air and will also be influenced by water content.

Water: IsoBoard will only absorb 0.32% (ISO 2896:1987) water and heat flow resistance will reduce by only 3%.

Vapour: IsoBoard's closed cellular structure provides exceptional resistance to water vapour permeability. Heat flow resistance will reduce by a maximum of 8%.

Fire: IsoBoard contains self-extinguishing fire retardants and will not propagate fire in exposed roof applications as certified by the CSIR report no B7510/020 5600 5664.Click here for Large Scale Fire Tests report.

Pest: IsoBoard is odourless, chemically inert and does not supply nutrition for pests, or support micro-organism growth. IsoBoard is vulnerable to teeth, beaks and bills, and should be physically protected if there is a food source for vermin with in the insulated space.
