Product Description
DURATHERM OS is an HCFC AND CFC FREE two component,
1:1 ratio, rigid foam system which when processed through
suitable spray machinery ( Gusmer, Glas-Craft/Probler etc ) will
produce a rigid foam of approximate density 35kg/m3 with
exceptionally good compressive strength. Service Temp range
-15oC to 70oC. When tested to BS476 part 7 the foam achieves a
Class 1 surface spread of flame.
Uses
DURATHERM OS is used for insulation in:
- New build
- Loft conversions
- Commercial buildings
- Ocean going yachts / canal barges
DURATHERM OS can be used to upgrade the thermal
performance of roofs, floors or walls of any property, to meet
current building regulations.
Equipment
DURATHERM OS can be processed through all standard foam
spray machines. The machine should be capable of maintaining
the mix ratio at ±2% accuracy and controlling the component
temperatures at 40-50oC (variable).

Spray Techniques
The guidelines in Isothane Limited’s standard
specification should be followed but the general requirements
are as follows.
- The substrate should be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, oil and loose particles.
- In certain cases primer may be necessary to maximise adhesion.
- Climatic conditions must be suitable for spraying with regard to humidity and wind
velocities.
- The foam should be built up in passes of not less than 15mm and not more than 10
minutes should elapse between passes.
- The requirements of any relevant Agrément Certificates or British Standards should be
followed.
Physical Properties
DURATHERM OS is a two component, modified polyurethane rigid foam which, sprayed
through suitable foam machinery, gives a product of nominal density 35 kg/m³.
