Properties
Thermal Conductivity
ISOBOARD’S® homogeneous cell structure, skin faces and vapour diffusion prevents any convective motion within the board. This structure also mitigates against any ageing, resulting in stable, low, long term thermal conductivity.
Resistance to water and vapour penetration
ISOBOARD® has a closed cell structure with no interstitial space and an outer skin of denser material. This, combined with the lack of voids and capilliaries, ensures that it is almost impossible for water and water vapour to enter the board.
Compressive Strength
The cellular structure of ISOBOARD® ensures a high compressive strength.
Fire Behaviour
ISOBOARD® contains a flame retardant additive and has been tested in accordance with Aus/NZ 1530.3 - 1999.
Dimension Stability
The regularity and homogeneity of ISOBOARD® cellular composition ensures dimensional stability.
Chemical Resistance
ISOBOARD® is stable and has good resistance to acids, bases, cold bitumen, silicon oils but is unstable to tars, organic solvents, hydro carbon, gasoline and oil-based paints.
Cutting/Fixing
ISOBOARD® can be easily cut with wood-working tools (a serrated blade (eg. hacksaw) is preferable), mechanically fixed and bonded with suitable adhesives.
Biological Effects
ISOBOARD® is resistant to bacteria, micro organisms, insect and rodent attack.
* No CFC’s are used in the manufacture of ISOBOARD®
