Formshield

Crosslinked - Closed Cell - Polyethylene Foam - heat laminated to reinforced 9um Aluminium Foil Facing.

• Thermal Conductivity - Effective insulation against heat transfer, with a very low K value of 0.032 w/mK @ 20ºC
• Fire Hazard Rating - Meets the requirements of AS15530.3 for the Building Code of Australia
• Acoustical Properties - Reduces the transmission of noise and vibration
• Moisture Barrier - Closed cell structure is impervious to water and becomes the barrier in application
• Product Resistance - High resistance to detergents, dilute acids and alkalis, alcohols, ketones, exters and fungi
• Temperature Range - has a wide range of performance from -80ºC to 100ºC
• Compression Effect - Crosslinked foam results in a light but very strong material that prevents deformation around duct corners and pin mountings ensuring consistent insulation performance.

• No Health Hazards - Does not emit dust or fibre particles
• Safe to Handle - Non-irritant with no special clothing requirements such as gloves or face masks
• Easy to Install - Light, flexible and easily cut and fabricated on site with a sharp knife
• Damage Resistant - Can be easily transported without costly damage problems
• Optional Adhesive - Can be supplied with acrylic adhesive for quicker installation.

• Energy Saving - An excellent thermal product reducing costs on both heating and cooling
• Noise Reducing - Reduces and deadens transmission of airborne and structural noise
• Health & Safety - Does not store or emit dust or fibre particles
• Protective Transport - Cannot be easily torn and provide excellent impact resistance

• FormShield achieves an excellent insulation against heat loss from its low thermal conductivity and its crosslinked cellular structure
• As an example, 10mm thick FormShield is a very cost effective product providing 90% heat flow reduction The 'Law of Diminishing Returns' as illustrated in the graph shows that an increase from 10-25mm
• FormShield provides only an additional 5% of insulation performance
• Further thicknesses produce only a negligible increase in performance

• Wrap FormShield around the duct work surface as tightly as possible
• Fasten in position with fixing pins at 400mm maximum centres
• Ensure the FormShield is installed butt-jointed or overlapped
• Fabricate material to fit with a sharp knife All edges and joints should be sealed with a 75mm reinforced aluminium foil adhesive tape
