FIBRANxps 300-I is a thermal insulation board made of extruded polystyrene, having a smooth surface and straight cut edges.
Application:
Thermal insulation gives unconditional protection in humid environment and/or under extremely heavy mechanical load.
- Basic thermal insulation boards for extra loaded floorings
- Thermal protection in humid environment
- Thermal protection of cellar floorings (to be placed in two layers)
- Thermal protection of floorings between floors in combination with structural sound protection foil
- Thermal protection and bearing layer of floor heating system
Instalation
All construction requirements should be taken into account during the application of FIBRANcps panels, FIBRAN xps panels should be placed on flat and clean surfaces. They can easily be cut using a sharp knife or heated wire. Most FIBRANxps product edges are L or D shaped. The panels are usually installed in a single layer. The application of a double layer is desirable for I shaped panels, to avoid the consequent formation of thermal bridges at the joints. Thermal insulation in the inverted rrof application should be installed in a single layer. No naked flames should be used during the installation of walls, adhesive tape should be used. In the event of basements with a high water table, the damp proofing product (e.g. tar) should be applied to the entire wall surface. When using FIBRANxps on large surfaces, especially on warm flat roofs, the dilation or contraction of the panels due to temperature must be taken into account. The construction of expansion joints with stonewool is recommended in such cases.
Management and storage
FIBRANxps panels are resistant to cold weather, rain and snow, but not to long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation from direct exposure to sunlight. Therefore the packaging must only be removed immediately prior to allpication of the material. In the event that the packaging in torn, the material must be protected from direct sunlight. Although FIBRANxps panels are among the most durable materials on the market, contact with sharp objects can destroy or warp their surface. FIBRANxps panels can be used up to a temperature of 75oC. However. if stored outdoors and exposed to direct sunlight, or covered with dark-coloured material, they may deform due to high temperatures. FIBRAN xps panels must not come into contact with organic solvents such as acetone, petrol or tar. If the panels are to be cleaned, a test of the material’s tolerance is recommended. Please consult our technical department, if necessary. They are generally resistant to soap and detergents, but not to bleach. FIBRANxps panels are partially resistant to substances such as vegetable oils and fats, paraffin, phenol, which means that long-term exposure to such substrates can affect the appearance or structure of their surface. FIBRANxps panels are particularly resistant to water-soluble asphalt materials, lime, cement, lime mortar, seawater, as well as thin dilute acids and silicones. A preliminary test is recommended in case of doubt.
