What is Kooltherm made of?

Kooltherm insulation boards have a fiber–free rigid thermoset phenolic insulation core with a thermal conductivity as low as 0.018 W/mK. The closed cell structure makes it resistant to the passage of water vapour.

How is Kooltherm phenolic insulation made?

The rigid thermoset foam forms an insulating core between two facing elements. At the start a wet foam insulation mix is added to the bottom layer of facing. It then expands to meet the top layer. As it dries the foam bonds to the facings. The foam is then cooked under pressure before curing and hardening it.
Both Kooltherm and PIR are rigid foam insulation materials.

The Kooltherm range of insulation boards is an advanced phenolic insulation and is the thinnest commonly usd insulation board for any specific U-value. This means that you can benefit from reduced heating or cooling demand or use thinner boards and gain more space in your building.

The Therma range of insulation boards is a Polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation. As well as being cost-effective, PIR insulation is amongst the more thermally efficient insulation commonly used.
 
  Thermal conductivity Applications
Kooltherm (Phenolic) As low as 0.018 W/m·K. It can be used in a variety of roof, wall and floor applications, which makes it a great solution for a range of constructions.
Therma (PIR) As low as 0.022 W/m·K. PIR insulation is often used on flat roof applications, due to its durability and compatibility with a variety of waterproofing methods. However it can also be used in a wide range of further applications.
