POLYISOCYANURATE
INSULATION

RIGID POLYISOCYANURATE INSULATION improves the energy efficiency of roofs and other structures, thereby reducing energy costs while maintaining compatibility with all types of roofing systems and fire assemblies. We supply insulation in a variety of thicknesses, providing long-term thermal resistance (LTTR*) values from 6.0 to 25.0. Polyisocyanurate is a closed cell foam core that is integrally laminated to heavy black fiber-reinforced felt facers. It is available in 4´ x 4´ (1220mm x 1220mm) and 4´ x 8´ (1220mm x 2440mm) panels.

Polyisocyanurate Insulation is typically specified for hot asphalt or coal tar BUR, modified bitumen, metal and single-ply membrane systems. The sheets have one side marked for hot BUR and modified bitumen applications and one unmarked side for single ply and cold-applied modified bitumen applications, making this an almost universally adaptable product suitable for a variety of applications. Because it is manufactured in a factory where rigid quality control standards can be maintained, it offers consistency of quality and performance that cannot be matched by field created spray applied insulation. It can be installed by any skilled tradesman using simple, readily available tools and accessories.

The following properties of Polyisocyanurate insulation make it an effective insulating material:

Bitumen and adhesive compatibility
Impact resistance
Fire resistance
Durability
Moisture resistance
Thermal resistance
Attachment capability
Component compatibility


*LTTR is the most advanced, scientifically supported method (based on ASTM C 1303-95) of predicting the Long-Term Thermal Resistance of Polyisocyanurate insulation products.
