Factory Applied Facings
Product is available to order with ranges of factory applied facings such as various grades of aluminium foil, glass cloth, glass matt, polyester laminate.
Fire Performance
Fibertex-450 acheives four zero Early Fire Hazard Indices when tested in accordance with AS 15.30:Part 3-1976 (same as BS 476 : Part 5, 6, 7-1967) for non-combustible material.
Moisture Resistance
Exposure to an atmosphere of 50 C and 95% relative humidity for 96 hours results
In moisture absorption of less than 0.2% by volume. Should insulation become wet, full thermal efficiency will be restored on drying out.
Water repellent grade according to BS 2792 section 12 is available to order.
Corrosion Resistance
Fibertex-450 is faintly alkaline and is incapable of corroding steel, copper, or aluminium. To maintain this condition, protection must be provided against contamination from external sources. When tested in accordance with BS 3958: Part 5-1969, results in range of pH 7.5-8.0. Fibertex-450 contains less than 15ppm soluble chlorides. For critical applications involving austenitic stainless steel, a low chloride formulation is available to order.
Compression Resistance
Fibertex-450 is a resilient insulation material which readily recovers to original shape after removal of compressive load.
The graph shows the reduction in thickness (%) under compressive load (kPa), measured in accordance with BS 2972-1975.
