Thermazone Foilboard is a polyisocyanurate insulation board with foil facings on both sides. It is manufactured without CFCs/HCFCs and has low environmental impact. The board has high compressive strength and water vapor resistance. It is for use with mechanically fixed single-ply roofing systems over structural decks and vapor control layers. The board comes in various thicknesses from 30-120mm and sizes of 2400x1200mm. It provides thermal resistance ranging from 2.3-6.35 m2.K/W depending on thickness.

Facings: Thermazone Foilboard is faced on both sides with a
low emissivity composite foil autohesively bonded to the insulation core during manufacture. The foil facing is highly resistant to the transmission of water vapour.
Thermazone Foilboard is attached using appropriate
fasteners and plates / washers.
Core: Thermazone Foilboard is manufactured from a high
performance CFC/HCFCfree polyisocyanurate (PIR) based 3 formulation with a typical density of 32 kg/m .
Insulation boards should be attached at the minimum rate of
o 11 N fasteners and plates per 1.2m x 2.4m board (unless otherwise specified and approved), an increased density may be recommended depending on project location, height and exposure etc.
Thermazone Foilboard is manufactured without the use of
CFCs/HCFCs and has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and a low Global Warming Potential (GWP).
Fasteners at board edges must be located >50mm and
<150mm from edges and corners of the board and must not overlap board joints.
Uses Thermazone Foilboard is for use with the mechanically fixed Sure-Weld TPO & Monarplan PVC single-ply waterproofing systems. Thermazone Foilboard is not suitable for use with bitumen built up roofing systems. It is suitable for use over all types of structural deck and must always be laid over a vapour control layer. For detailed waterproofing specifications please contact Icopals Technical Department.
Application

attention must be paid to the requirement of the insulation board to comply with the minimum thicknesses shown in the table below. Trough Width (mm)

Thermazone Foilboard must be laid on a clean level surface.
A vapour control layer must be applied over the structural deck in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Wind Loadings Wind loadings should be assessed in accordance with BS6399-2:1997 Loadings for Buildings. Code of practice for wind loads.
Thermazone Foilboard Polyisocyanurate (PIR) Insulation Board Performance and Properties Compressive Strength: Typically the compressive strength of Thermazone Foilboard exceeds 150kPa at 10% compression and 125kPa at 5% when tested to BS EN 826:1996 Thermal Insulating Products for Building applications. Determination of Compressive Behaviour.
Thermal Resistance Thermal resistance (Rvalue) varies with thickness and is calculated by dividing the thickness of the board (expressed in metres) by its thermal conductivity value. Thermal Resistance (m .K/W)
Water Vapour Resistance: Modified to include board
facings, the board achieves a resistance greater than 100MNs/g when tested in accordance with BS 4370-2:1993 (Methods of test for rigid cellular materials. Methods 7 to 9). Thermazone Foilboard must be laid over a vapour control layer. Durability: When correctly applied Thermazone Foilboard has an indefinite life. Its durability depends on the supporting structure and the conditions of its use. Resistance to Solvents, Fungi & rodents: The insulation core is resistant to short term contact with petrol and with most dilute acids, alkalis and mineral oils. However it is recommended that any spills be cleaned off fully before the boards are installed. Ensure that safe methods of cleaning are used, as recommended by the suppliers of the spilt liquid. The insulation core is not resistant to some solventbased adhesive systems, particularly those containing methylethylketone. Adhesives containing such solvents should not be used in association with this product. Damaged boards, or boards that have been in contact with harsh solvents or acids should not be used. The insulation core and facings used in the manufacture of Thermazone Foilboard resist attack by mould and microbial growth, and do not provide any food value to vermin.
Insulant Thickness (mm)
Falls The fall on a flat roof should be smooth and steep enough to prevent the formation of rainwater ponds. To ensure adequate drainage, BS 6229: 2003 (Flat roofs with continuously supported coverings. Code of practice) recommends uniform gradients of not less than 1 in 80. The fall on a flat roof constructed using Thermazone Foilboard is normally provided by the supporting structure being directed towards the rainwater outlets. However, because of building settlement, it is advisable to design to even greater falls.
Thermal Properties: The values and Rvalues quoted are
in accordance with the Harmonised European Standard BS EN 13165: 2001 (Thermal insulation products for buildings Factory made rigid polyurethane foam (PUR) products Specification) using so called 90 / 90 principles. Comparison with alternative products may not be appropriate unless the same procedures have been followed. Thermal Conductivity: The boards achieve a thermal conductivity (value) of 0.022 W/m.K

Storage The polythene packaging of Thermazone Insulation products should not be considered adequate for long term outdoor protection. Ideally, boards should be stored inside a building. If, however, outside storage cannot be avoided, then the boards should be stacked clear of the ground and covered with a polythene sheet or weatherproof tarpaulin. Boards that have been allowed to get wet should not be used.
Health And Safety
Thermazone Insulation products are chemically inert and safe to use. Health and safety data sheets are available for all materials. Please contact Icopals Technical Services Department for further information. Warning: Do not stand on or otherwise support your weight on this board unless it is fully supported by a load bearing surface.
