+44 20 3740 1918 Website

Application

COMPACFOAM can be used in a wide range of applications where structural support and the possibility of obtaining secure fixings into the material are required.

  • It can be used as a replacement for timber battens in these applications, where thermal bridging is to be reduced.
  • It is particularly suited for support for door thresholds and window installation, where it is important to minimise thermal bridging.

Description

COMPACFOAM combines high compressive strength with excellent thermal insulation and low dead weight. High stiffness (2% deformation under service load) and excellent long-term stability makes COMPACFOAM a solution to many problems in insulation and lightweight applications. Available in three different density classes: CF100, CF200 and CF400.


Features and benefits:

  • High compressive strength.
  • Good screw pull-out resistance. Easy to drill and saw.
  • Ductile material – COMPACFOAM can bear strains beyond 10%.
  • Diffusion open – due to the open-cell structure, the material is also slightly air-permeable.
  • Resistant to freezing.
  • Excellent water absorption capacity – does not absorb more than 5–10% moisture.
