Polyisocyanurate Foam Insulation
Feature: R-value of 6 to 6.5 per inch of thickness. |
Benefit: One of the highest R-values available, resulting in less thickness needed to achieve desired thermal performance. Lowers cost for owner to maintain process temperatures. |
Feature: Foil facers on both sides. |
Benefit: Adds additional R-Value by reflecting radiant heat. It’s a moisture barrier to help prevent costly tank corrosion. |
Feature: Foil on the top edges of foam insulation. |
Benefit: Additional precaution to prevent moisture penetration. |
Feature: Closed-cell foam. |
Benefit: Moisture Resistance. <0.3 perm water vapor transmission. <1% water absorption. |
Feature: Compressive strength of 20psi to 25psi (pounds per sq. inch) |
Benefit: Handles higher roof loads than fiber insulation to allow foot traffic. |
