....creating the confidence to build
to the most demanding standards
Owens Corning FOAMULAR
is an extruded polystyrene rigid foam insulation offering exceptionally
long lasting R-value; superb water/moisture resistance properties; and a
range of compressive strengths to meet the application needs of the
architect, contractor, builder and owner. It is a unique balance
of properties found only in the closed-cell structure of an extruded
polystyrene insulation. FOAMULAR can be
very efficiently used in construction applications such as concrete or
masonry cavity walls, wall furring, insulating sheathing,
perimeter/foundation walls, precast concrete and in certain applications
where a higher compressive strength insulation is needed to withstand
heavy loads, i.e., under concrete slabs, plaza decks, etc. FOAMULAR
is also ideal for use in all types of roofing including single-ply,
tapered, BUR and protected membrane roofing systems, either on new roofs
or in the re-roofing of old roofs.
Performance and
Application
Insulating Effectiveness Long-term, aged thermal
resistance (R-value) of 5.4 at 40ºF and 5.0 at 75ºF, mean temperature
for 1 inch of product thickness. It is an R-value higher than
other commonly used insulating products and recommended for long-term
performance. Available tongue and groove edges provide tight fit
of FOAMULAR panels to further reduce air infiltration. Built-in
rigidity resists damage to panels even when backfilling or in use under
slabs.
Moisture Resistance
FOAMULAR offers exceptional resistance to
moisture of all kinds -- ground water, condensation, water leakage,
freeze/thaw cycling -- for long-term retention of high R-value.
Excellent hydrophobic properties minimize wicking and provide superior
dimensional stability under elevated moisture conditions. FOAMULAR
is also resistant to the deleterious effects of mildew, fungus,
corrosion and common soil acids.
Choice Of Strengths, Sizes
FOAMULAR is available in a variety of
compressive strengths ranging from a high of 60 psi (min.) to an
economical 15 psi (min.) -- the world's lowest density extruded
polystyrene insulation. A selection of standard sizes and
thicknesses precisely meets most application needs. Custom sizes
are available, as required.
Ease Of Handling,
Installation FOAMULAR
is a rigid foam extruded polystyrene product, requiring no foil facing,
that's lightweight, durable and impact resistant. These features
facilitate both handling and installation and permit ease of sawing,
cutting and scoring.
Fire Ratings
Assemblies using FOAMULAR include wood and
steel stud walls, masonry walls, fire sensitive and "Class A"
roof decks, and fire resistant roof-ceiling assemblies; see UL
directories and the Factory Mutual System Approval Guide.
