Phen-omenal Fire Safey
Known for its superior fire and smoke properties, phenolic insulation is acknowledged as one of the safest insulation
materials for use inside buildings. Now, protection moves up to a new level, with Insulphen meeting the fire standard
requirements achieving ASTM E84 25/50 flame and smoke rating up to 3 inches thickness in North America.
One of the most important properties of Insul-phen is its low smoke emission and the fact that it gives off virtually no
toxic fumes. This can make a very significant difference in the event of a fire - as smoke and fumes are often a greater
threat to life than the fire itself.
Phen-omenal Environmental Benefits
From the Rio Earth Summit to the Kyoto Protocol, the world is having to face up to its environmental responsibilities.
One of the most important concerns relates to CFCs and their effect on the ozone layer. Insul-phen, and its
production process, is 100% free of CFCs and HCFCs. Complying with all international standards and guidelines, it
has a Zero Ozone Depletion rating.
Insul-phen’s superior insulation value also leads to an increase in energy saving and a reduction in the running costs
of heating/air conditioning systems.
Phen-omenal Moisture Resistance
Condensation can compromise the effectiveness of insulating materials, which is a major issue in hot and humid
climates.
With some materials, there is a risk of moisture penetration that can severely affect the thermal efficiency of the
insulation. As a consequence, pipes can be damaged or corroded and the building fabric also deteriorates.
The high closed cell content of Insul-phen gives it very high resistance to moisture penetration which prevents the
wicking effect seen particularly with fibrous (open cell) type materials.
Insul-phen is usually supplied with a factory applied vapour barrier jacket, ASJ, Venture 1555U or other facings on request. This all but
eliminates the possibility of moisture or moisture vapour intrusion.

Phen-omenal Insulation Value
Insul-phen has one of the best k factor ratings of any commonly specified insulation material.
Its high thermal efficiency means that the actual insulation thickness is significantly lower than other materials. By
saving space, this makes it much easier to run - and insulate pipework through difficult or restricted places.
Phen-omenal Support
Insul-phen is produced in a variety of densities. Heavier density product is used for the manufacture of
pipe supports in load bearing applications which are an important part of any pipe work insulation system.
