20mm Xtratherm PIR Rigid Insulation Board

Xtratherm Thin-R is a foil-faced Polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation board formed by a blowing process that generates rigid foam composed of fine cells filled with Pentane blowing agent trapped within the foam. Pentane has very good insulating properties and gives Thin-R superb insulating capability. Long-term performance is ensured by the foil facings, which are gas tight.

Characteristics

• The thermal conductivity of Xtratherm Thin-R is among the lowest for commonly available insulation boards.
• Xtratherm Thin-R boards are manufactured to strict dimensional tolerances, enabling the boards to be fitted tightly together. This reduces air leakage through the construction and associated heat losses through convection.
• Xtratherm Thin-R contains gas-tight aluminium facings that form a low emissivity surface which, when facing a cavity, reduces the heat loss through radiation, cutting the overall rate of heat loss.
• Xtratherm Thin-R's excellent lambda value and therefore low thickness allow constructions to be thinner than they would be with other insulation materials.
• With the excellent thickness to performance ratio (R-value) of Xtratherm Thin-R, less material is required to achieve the best performance levels asked for in the new building regulations.

Application

Xtratherm Thin-R insulation board is suitable for use in:

• Floors
• Walls
• Roofs

Virtually all building elements can be insulated with PIR:

• Concrete slab
• Beam and block timber floors
• Masonry or timber-framed walls
• Flat and pitched roofs

Certification

• Xtratherm Thin-R is manufactured under an ISO9001 assured quality system.
• Xtratherm Thin-R is manufactured using Pentane as the blowing agent. Pentane is CFC/HCFC free with zero ozone depletion potential and a Global Warming Potential less than 0.01.
