Benefits

IsoBoard thermal insulation is a high density, rigid, extruded polystyrene insulation board. It has a 100% closed cell structure and is 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., the product's payback period ranges from 3 - 5 years, due to savings on energy costs.

With the manufacturing plant base in Atlantis, Cape Town, the use of advanced, state-of-the-art technology makes it possible to guarantee exceptional properties such as:

IsoBoard Ceilings
* High resistance to heat flow i.e. conductivity.
* Resistance to water vapour diffusion and water absorption.
* Uniform density distribution.
* Very high compressive strength.
* Ageing resistance.
* Resistance to bacteria.
* 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

Savings Up To 40%
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.

Pest: IsoBoard is odourless, chemically inert and does not supply nutrition for pests, or support micro-organism growth.
