Product Description

TECHNITHERM® is a totally CFC & HCFC FREE two component, 1:1 mix ratio rigid polyurethane foam which complies with the requirements of BS 7457:1994 for the stabilisation and thermal insulation of masonry cavity walls and holds an Agrément Board Certificate No: 97/3426. It is required that TECHNITHERM® is installed in accordance with BS 7456:1991 Code of Practice by BBA approved installers trained by Isothane Ltd technical staff.

Uses

TECHNITHERM® is used for the stabilisation of masonry cavity walls by strongly adhering the inner and outer leaves together and as such is a convenient and cost effective alternative to metal cavity tie replacement. In addition, as a consequence of the excellent thermal insulation properties of the foam, “U” values of 0.33 Wm²K are achieved in a 65mm cavity of standard construction, and 0.22 Wm²K in a 100mm cavity of standard construction. Even better values can be realised through choice of special blockwork, etc.

Equipment

TECHNITHERM® can be processed through any suitable mobile high pressure plural component polyurethane foam dispensing equipment. (e.g. Gusmer, Glas-Craft, Graco).
