ISOBOARD® from Australian Urethane & Styrene is a rigid, extruded polystyrene board. ISOBOARD® is manufactured by a fully automated extrusion process to international specifications and standards.
Due to its closed cell structure ISOBOARD® has unique insulation properties, different from common expanded polystyrene:
- High resistance to heat flow (i.e. low thermal conductivity)
- High resistance to water vapour diffusion
- Uniform density distribution for dimensional stability
- High compressive strength
- Ageing resistance (properties are retained over time)
- Resistance to bacteria and micro-organism growth
- Environmentally friendly
- Fire resistance (a fire retardant is added)
ISOBOARD® insulated buildings require less heating and cooling intervention than poorly insulated buildings, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs. ISOBOARD® contributes to energy saving for the expected life of the building.
Other advantages of ISOBOARD® include:
- Ease and cost effectiveness of insulation
- Versatility of applications
- Moisture transfer resistance
- Durability
- Safety
