Technical Specification
The declared thermal conductivity of Polyfoam Roofboard Extra is 0.031W/mK.
The design thermal conductivity in including moisture correction factor, of the boards, is 0.032W/mK for thicknesses 50mm and above. For thicknesses under 50mm it is 0.033W/mK.
The water vapour resistivity of Polyfoam Roofboard Extra is 705 MNs/g.m when tested in accordance with BS EN 12086.
Polyfoam Roofboard Extra has a moisture absorption of 0.9% by volume when tested in accordance with EN 12087.
The BRE have approved and issued Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the Polyfoam range of products in accordance with EN 15804:2012+A1:2013.
Polyfoam Roofboard Extra represents no known threat to the environment and has Zero Ozone Depletion Potential and a low Global Warming Potential. Polyfoam Roofboard Extra is non bio-degradable and 100% recyclable.
The continuous service temperature limit of Polyfoam Roofboard Extra is up to +70º C.
Polyfoam Roofboard Extra is highly resistant to compression and withstands both occasional and long term static loads. The high compressive strength and rigidity of the product allows a range of ballast material including gravel, soil and concrete slabs to be used as part of the construction. Load bearing construction elements should be designed to adequately support the combination of imposed and dead loads without creating excessive deflection.
Polyfoam Roofboard Extra is lightweight and easy to handle and install. Polyfoam Roofboard Extra is supplied in four sided packaging designed to be easily recognised and is labelled with identifying product and manufacturing data. Ensure the product is not stored close to open flames or other ignition sources and avoid volatile organic compounds and chemicals such as solvents. Polyfoam Roofboard Extra should not be left exposed to prolonged sunlight as this will result in surface degradation. When outside storage for extended periods is required cover the products with opaque/light coloured sheeting.
