Cellular Glass - Foamglas Products
Foamglas® as manufactured by Pittsburgh Corning is made exclusively of glass; there is no binder or other material in its composition.  Foamglas® is strictly non combustible and it does not absorb inflammable or dangerous liquids or gases.  The product presents an excellent resistance towards water and is impervious to water vapour.

Other Benefits include:

  • No deterioration of thermal conductivity
  • Dimensional stability
  • Chemically Neutral
  • High compressive strength
  • Resistant to insects and rodents.
  • Temperature Limits: From -260°C to +430°C

 

Calcium SIlicate
Our calcium silicate range is a rigid insulation material that is strong, premium quality, and is highly efficient.  It is traditionally for steam pipe work and boiler insulation in the UK, having a long history of successful use in the power generation and petrochemical industries for over 30 years.

 Other Benefits include:

  • Temperature limit of 650°C, 1000°C & 1100°C continuous
  • Good compressive strength
  • Excellent thermal performance at high temperature
  • Non-combustible
  • Will take foot traffic

 

Phenolic Foam
The high closed cell content of our Phenolic insulation gives a very high resistance to moisture penetration, with the option of aluminium foil. The thermal efficiency educes the necessary thickness requirement, providing a low K value, saving energy and CO2 emissions. Our Phenolic range benefits from low flame spread, low smoke emission and gives off virtually no toxic fumes.

Standards Include: BS4370, BS476 Part 6 and Part 7-Results conform to Class O of the UK Building Regulations, Epiradiateur-M1, ASTM E84 25/50 Flame & Smoke-up to 3 inches thick, NEN 6065/6066-Klasse 1/2 and DIN4102-B1

Available densities include 35kg/40kg, 60kg, 80kg, 120kg & 160kg.

 

Polyisocyanurate Foam (PIR)
PIR is manufactured from a mixture of two principal liquid components and a number of additives to produce highly cross-linked polymers with a 90% closed cell structure providing an excellent resistance to moisture penetration. Typical applications include: Oil Refinery, chemical process plant, cryogenic and liquid gas plants, Rail and Marine transport, Refrigeration pipework, Food processing, brewery industries and MOD applications.  Standards Include: BS5608:1993, BS 4840: Part1:1985, BS 4840: Part2:1994, BS 5422: 1990, BS5970: 1992.

Available densities include 35kg, 50kg, 60kg, 80kg & 120kg.
