Application

Suitable for use on inverted roofs. Suitable for use with all shield systems.

Description

Introduced specifically to meet the needs of high performance insulation. It is a closed cell type extruded polystyrene board with integral high density skin.


The insulation utilizes infra-red blocking particles to scatter and reflect heat radiation. It has a Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 5.


Features and benefits:

  • High compressive strength.
  • Easy and safe handling.
  • Durability equal to the service life of building.
  • Suitable for inverted system applications.
  • Recycling and re-use is feasible depending on system installed.
  • Improved thermal performance when compared to standard XPS.
