Application

  • Used for new-build and for upgrading the thermal performance of existing roofs.
  • For use with torch on and roll and pour felt systems, mastic asphalt and fully adhered single ply systems.
  • High performance insulation for metal, concrete or timber decks.

Description

Proteus Pro-Therm Insulation PIR is a fibre-free rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation core faced with coated glass tissue on one side and bituminized glass tissue with polypropylene fleece on the other. The PIR fibre free insulation core is temperature tolerant and withstands the application of hot bitumen and asphalt to the surface at up to 230°C.


Features and benefits:

  • Available in flat and tapered cut to falls designs.
  • This product is stable, rot proof and durable and will remain effective as an insulation system for at least the lifetime of the waterproofing covering. Durability depends on the method of application, the supporting structure and conditions of use
  • The insulation core and facings resist attack by mould and microbial growth, and do not provide any food value to vermin
  • Manufactured with a blowing agent that is CFC/HCFC free and has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP).
  • BRE Global Green Guide generic specification which achieves a summary rating of A.
  • Resistant to solvents.
  • For typical R and U-values consult technical literature.

Fire performance

Reaction to fire: Euroclass E.

Thermal conductivity (maximum)

0.026–0.024 W/m-K.

Guidance for specification option:

The thermal conductivity (lambda/λλ-value) of the foam varies by thickness as follows:

  • 25 to 79 mm = 0.026 W/mK.
  • 80 to 119 mm = 0.025 W/mK.
  • 120 to 200mm = 0.024 W/mK.

Recyclability

While current PIR insulation recycling process is complex, innovative methods are emerging that promise greater reusability and efficient energy recovery. Usually - at the end of serviceable life of PIR insulation - disposal to landfill, energy recovery via incineration, or a mixture of both methods seem most commonly practiced.
