Phenolic foam is a very versatile
material suitable for a large range of applications where thermal
performance, moisture resistance, fire performance and in certain
cases structural strength are key performance criteria.
 Phenolic foam is the only material that can provide this
unique range of benefits and is used in a variety of
applications.
Â
Phenolic foam is used in many
building applications, typically continuously laminated phenolic
board is used in roofing, cavity board, external wall board,
plasterboard dry lining systems, wall insulation, floor insulation
and as a sarking board. The superior fire performance of phenolic
foam is being recognised and this is leading to increased market
share in these areas.
Â
Phenolic foams offer significant
advantages over other insulation materials which are summarized
below. A range of phenolic foam boards is available to suit most
new buildings or refurbishment applications.
Â
Flexible-faced phenolic foam boards
used in the building industry are typically manufactured in the
continuous lamination process. This involves spraying a mixture of
phenolic resin, catalyst and blowing agent onto a moving facing. A
top facing is then introduced and the product then goes through a
heated conveyor press and heated ovens and is then cut to the
required size. Phenolic foam products with Agreement certification
are available for roofing, cavity board, floor board, dry lining,
external wall board and sarking board.
Advantages Of Phenolic Foam
Insulation Board:
Space saving: the exceptionally low
thermal conductivity of closed cell phenolic foam boards means that
appropriate insulation efficiency can be achieved with the thinnest
possible material.
