Details

Thermax Heavy Duty™ thermal insulation distributed by DCTech has a glass-fibre reinforced polyisocyanurate (PIR) thermoset foam core faced with 4.0 mil embossed white acrylic-coated aluminium on one side and 1.25 mil embossed aluminum on the other side. The surfaces makes it a durable choice for use in moderate-impact areas.

Thermax Heavy Duty™ PIR thermal insulation can be installed exposed to the interior without a thermal barrier and can be pressure washed up to 2,000 psi with a 15-degree or greater spray tip. Thermax Heavy Duty™ PIR rigid sheathing is designed as an thermal insulation and interior finish system for walls in metal, wood post frame and concrete or masonry buildings.

Thermax Heavy Duty™ PIR thermal insulation offers high, long-term R-Values. The aluminium facers help prevent water and water vapour intrusion into the PIR insulation foam core, and allow the foam to stabilise at a higher R-Value. Used in conjunction with the appropriate joint closure system for the application, Thermax Heavy Duty™ PIR thermal insulation with its low perm rating helps to reduce moisture condensation within and behind the insulation.

Applications

• High-impact interior finish system for walls in metal, wood post frame, and concrete or masonry buildings

Features

• Low perm rating helps to reduce moisture condensation within and behind the insulation
• Thermax Heavy Duty™ PIR thermal insulation can be installed exposed to the interior without a thermal barrier
• High, long term retained R-Values
