A4.3 Insulation: Comparative Table of Insulating Materials

The document discusses the properties and specifications of polyurethane foam insulation. The insulation is composed of rigid polyurethane foam that is self-extinguishing and has a fire resistance classification of B2 or B3. It has an average density of 40 kg/m3 ± 10%, compression and tensile resistance over 1 N/cm2, and a thermal conductivity of 0.022 Kcal/m.h.°C. Tables are provided showing the coefficient of heat transmission (K value) for various thicknesses of insulation used in roofing and wall panels.
