Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board

For the thermal insulation and protection of upstands in flat roofing

Description

Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is a rigid extruded polystyrene board with Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than five.

Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is a laminate of Polyfoam ECO high performance extruded polystyrene (xps) with a tough, weather resistant facing board.

Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is square edged.

Application

Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is used for the thermal insulation and protection of upstands in flat roofing. It can also be used as a lining, where strength, fire performance and potential for easy cleaning are important, such as in agricultural buildings and flat roofs.

Standards

The extruded polystyrene content of Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is manufactured in accordance with BS EN 13164:2008, EN 16001:2009 Energy Management Systems, OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Systems, and ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems, as certified by Bureau Veritas.

Thermal Performance

The extruded polystyrene content of Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board has a thermal conductivity of 0.035 W/mK.

Durability

The continuous service temperature limits of Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Boards are -20 to +70ºC.

Environmental

Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is manufactured with a GWP<5, is free from CFCs, HCFCs and any other material with ozone depletion potential in its manufacture and content, and represents no known threat to the environment.

The xps content of Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is non bio-degradable and 100% recyclable.

Compression resistance

Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Boards are highly resistant to compression and withstand both occasional and long term static loads.

Load bearing construction elements should be designed to adequately support the combination of imposed and dead loads without creating excessive deflection.

Moisture resistance

Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is resistant to moisture absorption and can be laid in standing water or up against wet concrete with negligible impact on the performance of the product.

Moisture absorption

Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board has a moisture absorption of 1.1% by volume when tested in accordance with EN 12087.

Vapour resistivity

Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board has a water vapour resistivity of 600MNs/g.m.

Fire performance

Polyfoam ECO insulation contains a flame retardant which inhibits localised ignition. Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is faced with a 6mm weather resistant facing which offers excellent fire performance as a facing material and is classified as Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame to BS 476: Part 7: 1987.

Handling and storage

The boards are easy to handle and protective clothing is not required, however, when cutting through the facing material it is advisable to wear a facemask to guard against dust. Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board is supplied on pallets, labelled with identifying product and manufacturing data and wrapped in a polythene shroud for temporary protection during transit and on site. Ensure the boards are not stored close to open flames or other ignition sources, also avoid volatile compounds and chemicals such as solvents. Polyfoam ECO products should not be left exposed to prolonged sunlight as this will result in surface degradation. Where outside storage for extended periods is required cover with opaque/light coloured sheeting. The facing board on Polyfoam ECO High Impact and Upstand Board should have edges and corners protected to prevent chipping.
