U THERMO BOARD
Resin-bonded, semi-rigid high temperature resistant mineral wool boards/slabs. The
board is supplied plain, however on request it can be faced with reinforced kraft/aluminium
foil, tissue or woven glass cloth to suit specific appliactions.
APPLICATIONS
|
|
Thermal insulation of process plant and equipment. Suitable for application on flat
or slightly curved surfaces. Suitable for increasing the fire resistance of lightweight
building elements e.g. partition walls.
|
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
|
|
Isover products are manufactured according to ISO 9001:2008.
|
FEATURES & BENEFITS
|
- Mineral wool developed for high temperature applications
- Excellent lambda values (thermal conductivity) which reduces heat loss
- Shot free
- Lightweight products, easy to handle
- Soft touch, easy cutting
- Outstanding flexibility, can be bent around corners or odd shapes without any edge
breaks
- Fast and efficient installation
- Chemically inert and when applied under controlled conditions will not promote or
cause corrosion
- Meets the European criteria in being non hazardous to health (EUCEB certificate)
- Zero ozone depleting potential (ODP)
|
FIRE PROPERTIES
|
|
Non-combustible, fire class A1, according to EN 13 501 Non-combustible - tested
to SANS 10177-5
|
ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
|
|
Has excellent sound absorption characteristics which will provide effective acoustic
insulation where reduction in noise levels is required.
|
CORROSIVITY
|
|
U Thermo Board typically contains less than 10ppm chloride (SABS Method 1119-1988).
|
DURABILITY
|
- Will not sustain vermin
- Will not breed or promote fungi, mould or bacteria
- Will not settle under vibration
- Rot proof
- Dimensionally stable but care must be exercised to limit moisture ingress as this
not only compromises
the structural integrity but interferes with the thermal resistance properties of
the products as well.
|
HANDLING & STORAGE
|
|
All U Thermo Board products should be stored and handled with care to maintain ex-works
quality. The packaging will provide some protection, but care should be taken to
keep the material dry at all times. Extra protection should always be provided when
storing the product outdoors.
|
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY (according to EN 8 497)
|
|
DIMENSIONS
|
|
|
|
MAXIMUM SERVICE TEMPERATURE (MST) under 500Pa (according to EN 14 706)
|
|
The Maximum Service Temperature according to EN 14 706 is the temperature for which
the deformation of the insulation material is less than 5% under a load of 500Pa
and when exposed to such temperature for a continuous period of 72 hours. This test
method is a more stringent evaluation of the highest permanent, operating temperature
the product can sustain.
