- 2 Shiny foil insulation foamofol
Thermal insulation material penofol is currently one of the most common in the field of energy saving. Such a universal insulation is ideal for use in a house or apartment. Niches for batteries, slopes, all kinds of partitions and roofs are often warmed to them. For the device of a warm floor also use penofol, with a reflector in the form of aluminum foil.
Basic types of
Basically all types of foam foil consist of expanded polyethylene and a reflective layer. Consider the most common types.
Modification "A". Light roll material with one side covered with a reflective layer. Available in thicknesses of 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 mm.
Modification "B". Roll material with two reflective sides. A little universal insulation, than "A", with the increased requirements to mechanical influences.
Modification "C".Self-adhesive insulation, universal, easy to install.
Modification of "ALP".Self-adhesive appearance of foam foil, foiled on one side, laminated with a polyethylene protective film. Thickness 3 mm.
Some technical characteristics of foamed
- Thermal reflection up to 97%.
- Application temperature -60 + 100 Celsius.
- Coefficient of thermal conductivity without reflection of heat 0.037-0.038 W / m ° C.
- Absorption of moisture from 0.65-3.5%( by volume).
- Specific heat capacity is 1.95 kJ / kg ° C.
- Coefficient of vapor permeability, m, not more than( mg / m. H. Pa) than 0,001.
Where it is better to use penofol as insulation
Insulation of walls from inside by penofol is not a laborious process, using a simple tool( knife, stapler, screwdriver), warming work can be done quickly and efficiently. Consider where and how best to use this kind of material.
Type "A" is mainly used in combined insulation with other heat insulators, polystyrene foam and expanded polystyrene. For example, to insulate the walls from the inside( when there is no possibility of external installation).And also it is possible to lay it under a coupler at installation of a warm floor. The primary insulation of the food storage chambers is often carried out by this type of insulator, gluing it directly to the wall.
Type "B" is more suitable for the installation of partitions and ventilation systems, and the insulation with flocked penofol any wall and ceilings is very simple, it works as an independent insulating material. A double reflective layer applied on both sides is excellent for this and is intended. Penofol "B" showed itself perfectly in the arrangement of loggias and balconies. Strengthen it, pressing between the rod, guides for decoration and the wall.
Type "C" more has found application for the warming of cars, or rather their thermal booths, all kinds of huts and technical rooms. As heat reflectors for radiators and various types of tanks, heat exchangers.
Example:
For the construction of a "warm floor", use foam foam type ALP, since the cement slurry in the raw state is aggressive to aluminum. And the sheets are mounted on a black screed with foil up to 8 cm on the walls and fasten seams with aluminum tape( metallized scotch tape).After installing all the heating elements, a reinforcement mesh is placed on top and a final screed is poured. Edges after pouring are cut off. In this application, it serves as an excellent reflector and heat insulator.
The universal use of foamed foam foil brings this product to the foremost in terms of heat savings and efficiency in applications with minimal structural thickness.
Shiny foil-insulated foam foam
When isolating different surfaces, walls, ceilings of partitions or pipes, you need to know exactly what to insulate the structure in each case. There are many thermal insulation, but we will consider a thin, universal system."Izolon" is lightweight, comfortable in handling high-quality materials. A wonderful insulator of heat and cold.
We take the insulation of pipes, PET 3004-3010 with PET film over the reflector, for thermal and sound insulation, ventilation pipes, ducts or tanks and heat exchangers.
Foam or polystyrene is problematic to fix on such uneven surfaces, and blow out with foam generally is expensive. Suddenly, you have to remove the design or upgrade. Rescues in such cases isolon, because do not insulate the same pipes with bulky mineral wool on obsolete technology. A foil isolone as a reflector, will serve long and high quality.
And the price of such warming is relatively small.
Fixing Methods and Properties of Penofol
Option No. 1
On the insulation of the loggia, it is possible to use frame attachment with a 20 * 40 mm rack, press the insulator with a step of 40 centimeters to the wall. Securing with screws if the wall is made of wood, or using a quick-fix dowel( DBM) when the base is concrete. The joints must be sealed with a metallized tape. The thickness of the material is chosen, based on the weather conditions in the winter and summer. When buying an experienced manager will calculate more precisely what kind of cold insulator is needed, taking into account the data in your region on temperature and humidity.
Option No. 2
With combined insulation, expanded polystyrene or foam, foamed foil for the second layer( reflector), is perfect. Take a refrigerator or heat-exchanger insulation. Fixing to the mounting foam or dowel( fungus) polystyrene plates in a day can be glued self-adhesive penofol brand "ALP".But the brand "A" with one reflective side is easy to attach with the help of silicone-acrylic( the modification should correspond to the materials).Sometimes, despite the brand of master's glue, styrofoam is melted with unsuitable glues.
Variant №3
On a floor for a laminate or a parquet board the material of updating "B" with two reflecting surfaces is not uncommon rolled out. Thickness up to 5 mm. Such a substrate will last a long time, performing 97% of the heat protection of your floor. It can be fixed with special non-aggressive mastics glued to the base. Scotch brand Isospan FL seams will glue perfectly.
Variant №4
The protection against vibrations with the use of industrial equipment is solved by the lining of the isolon under the machines. And by assembling an additional layer( type "A") inside the partition or wall, the noise in the production room will decrease by 28-30%.Absorption of sound of this material up to 68%.Stapler and galvanized staples to it perfectly hold the insulator on any surface except concrete or plaster. On solid walls, the reflector can be glued or installed on the dowels, then covered with a layer of finishing( plastic, plasterboard).
The foamed polyethylene foam of which is made of isolone is a polymer chemically resistant material. The temperature range of operation of polyethylene foam brand: PPE from -60 to +100 degrees Celsius, Standard grades without quenching additives are quite flammable.
In case of fire, stubborn with standard extinguishing media: foam or carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, sand, water. In case of fire, use a respirator!
Polyethylene foam itself does not contain harmful substances that destroy the ozone layer of the atmosphere. If inhaled, contact with the skin does not cause an allergy. As we see such a universal material as foil isolon is quite easy to apply in the arrangement of any structures and premises.
