Description

Polyethylene insulation is closed-cell foam, meaning its structure comprises millions of tiny globules sealed off from each other. Polyethylene insulation materials have better sound-insulation, sound-absorbing, and heat-insulation properties. Some advantages of polyethene insulation include minimal low water retention, extra stability and structural strength, excellent weathering, and ageing resistance. Other advantages are resistance against dirt, humidity and freezing temperatures. The form is also resistant to solvents and petroleum products and is antimicrobial, inhibiting mould, mildew, and bacteria growth. A resilient material, PE form returns to its original state after compression while yielding enough to provide cushion and security where needed. These characteristics and its versatility and customisation possibilities make polyethene valuable in many applications.

Advantages of Polyethylene Insulation Foam

• Excellent thermal insulation: Low thermal conductivity of 0.0293 (W/m °K) (0.37 BTU-in/hr-ft
• Excellent sound-blocking properties: Its Sound Transmission Coefficient (STC) value of 65 and Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) value of 0.85 make it the ideal product for blocking contact and airborne noise.
• Good Vibration Absorption: Excellent dimensional stability. Offers cushioning against repeated impacts
• Fire retardant: Self extinguishing
• Light, safe to handle and easy to install: Does not contain any synthetic fibres or other substances toxic to humans.
• Effective moisture barrier: remains unaltered when exposed
