The Superior Insulation Foam |
Phenotherm Phenolic Foam is a rigid cellular foam insulation material with a substantially closed cell structure, whose polymer structure is made primarily from the poly-condensation of phenol, its homologues and/or derivatives with aldehydes and ketones. |
Phenotherm has various distinct properties that makes it better than conventional insulation materials. |
Lower K value (K Value = 0.017W/mK) - that means exceptionally low thermal conductivity. |
Wide service range for diverse insulation applications |
Cost-effective because lower thermal conductivity facilitates usage of lesser thickness of Phenotherm for the same level of insulation. |
Superior fire and insulation properties enable phenotherm to be used as a direct replacement for conventional insulation materials such as expanded polystyrene, rigid urethane foam (polyurethane and polyisocyanurate), polyethylene foam, resin-bonded glass wool, etc. |
A wide service temperature range between -196 C to + 130 C makes Phenotherm ideal for low temperature and cryogenic applications. It can be effectively used on LSHS, fuel oil, low pressure steam and hot water lines. |
Low water absorption is a key feature of Phenotherm. A high closed cell content of upto 95% results in very low water vapour transmission and reduces condensation. |
Phenotherm is tested as per BS 4370 for mechanical properties and conforms to BS 3927. |
Phenotherm assures longer life as it is unaffected by most aromatic and aliphatic solvents. |
Odourless and does not absorb colour. |
Rodent / insect proof and being mildly antiseptic resists fungal and bacterial growth. |
Corrosion and chemical resistance is another strength. Phenotherm resists organic solvents and chemicals. Being non-abrasive and hydrophobic, it does not corrode metal. |
Phenotherm has anti-static properties. It is an electrical insulator and in case of friction does not generate static electricity or sparks. |
Phenotherm is workable, easy to install and can be cut and shaped to any size with handtools. |
