Isotherm Insulation
Eco-friendly, thermal insulation solution for residential and commercial use
Product Overview
Isotherm is a high-performance, non-toxic thermal insulation material made primarily from recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic, such as recycled plastic bottles. Known for its excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties, Isotherm is widely used in ceiling, wall, and roof insulation. It’s safe, environmentally friendly, and does not contain harmful chemicals or allergens, making it suitable for use in homes, schools, offices, and other buildings.
Key Properties
-
Material Composition: 100% thermally bonded polyester fibers, including up to 80% recycled PET.
-
Thermal Conductivity: Low thermal conductivity (0.038–0.040 W/m·K), effectively reducing heat flow.
-
Density: Varies depending on thickness, typically between 10 kg/m³ and 14 kg/m³.
-
Thickness Options: Available in various thicknesses (50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 135mm) to meet different insulation requirements.
-
Color: Light green, a distinguishing color specific to Isotherm products.
Technical Specifications
-
R-Value: Varies by thickness; a 100mm Isotherm sheet typically has an R-value of about 2.5–3.0 (higher R-values provide better insulation).
-
Fire Retardancy: Meets national building codes for flammability, self-extinguishing when the ignition source is removed.
-
Moisture Resistance: Hydrophobic, does not absorb water or promote mold growth.
-
Allergen-Free: Non-allergenic and non-irritant, safe for people with respiratory sensitivities.
-
Recyclable: 100% recyclable and made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.
Applications
-
Ceiling Insulation: Ideal for ceilings to keep interiors warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
-
Wall Insulation: Reduces thermal transfer through walls, improving energy efficiency.
-
Roof Insulation: Effective for metal and tile roofs, reducing heat gain and loss.
-
Acoustic Insulation: Helps dampen noise, making it suitable for reducing sound transmission between rooms or floors.
Advantages
-
Energy Efficiency: Helps reduce heating and cooling costs by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures.
-
Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled PET, helping reduce landfill waste and carbon footprint.
-
Non-Toxic and Safe: No harmful chemicals, VOCs, or fibers; safe for installers and residents.
-
Durability: Long-lasting, retains loft and insulation properties without sagging or compressing over time.
-
Easy Installation: Lightweight and flexible, easy to cut and fit into spaces.
Limitations
-
Cost: Higher upfront cost compared to some traditional insulation materials, though offset by energy savings.
-
Availability: Specific thicknesses may vary by region; consult local suppliers for available sizes.
-
Flammability: While it is self-extinguishing, it is not entirely fireproof; additional fireproofing may be required in some settings.
