Contact for Technical Specifications
Properties and Benefits
- High performance insulation material with minimal occupation of space.
- Low thermal conductivity and high thermal resistance and minimal loss of insulation properties over time.
- Low water permeability and moisture absorption. It does not rot or support the growth of mould and has no food value for vermin or termites.
- Excellent resistance to chemicals and solvents
- High compressive strength
- Fire retardant additive
- Strong, light weight and easy to handle. On site PUR can be cut with ordinary hand tools.
- Dimensionally stable with low vapour transmission.
- Durable with a life beyond 50 years.
- Wide range of operating temperatures (-60o to 90o)
Uses
Insulation and Refrigeration
Especially suited to insulation when there is a need to maximise space
- Wall insulation
- Cold room/store insulation
- Container insulation
- Pipe insulation
- Tank insulation
- Air conditioning lining
boxes
Buoyancy
Positive buoyancy properties for
- Boat building (both fibreglass and alloy boats)
- buoys, pontoons and docks
Fibreglassing/Composite fabrication
- A wide range of adhesives can be used and PUR can be covered with paint, adhesives and glassed with polyester resins.
- Form work for fibreglassing
Custom shapes
- Custom profiling into a variety of shapes and sizes.
- Ease of shaping for sculpturing and mould making.
- Stage and movie props and sets
- Advertising and signage

Hard Foam
Polyisocyanurate Reaction (PUR)Rigid Closed Cell Foam
Density 75kg/m3
Properties and Benefits
Hard foam has all the properties of General Purpose Foam in addition to
- Greater flame resistance
- Greater compressive strength
- Lower thermal conductivity
Uses
Hard foam can be used for insulation, buoyancy, fibreglassing and mould making as per General Purpose Foam.
In addition with fibreglass laminate hard foam can is a lighter replacement for MDF/plywood in non-structural applications.
Hard foam is also used for:
- Insulated pipe supports
- Form work
- Shower hobs
- Finer detailed architectural models
