The advantages of the THERMASEAL spray-on insulation and waterproofing foam can be classified into two major areas – technical and economic advantages.
The primary technical advantages of THERMASEAL include:
- Being a spray, it is seamless and therefore is free from thermal bridges
- Excellent thermal insulation at 0.019 w/mk
- 100 % waterproof : Not sensitive to moisture and no water absorption due to its closed cell structure
- eliminates the dampness in the roof structure
- Thermal stability range from -50 C to +130 C, which may be as high as +250 C over short periods
- Excellent fire safety rating of B1 or B2 as per DIN 4102
- Very good aging resistance
- Resistant to chemicals, weathering, dilute acids, alkalis, industrial fumes, mineral oils, diesel fuels, sea water, etc.
- Compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength can be adjusted in accordance with the density
- Bonds effectively with other materials, including concrete, steel, wood, bitumen, etc.
- Processing is quick and efficient.
Thermaseal spray-on foam affords various economic advantages to the consumer.
The system:
- Offers heat insulation and water-proof sealing in one operation
- Controls the natural temperature condition (heating / cooling) within a building
- Has good energy conservation properties
- Is ideal for roofs, walls and flooring systems
- Can be injected into crevices and also between double walls
- Offers a twenty year guarantee.
Heat transfer loss has considerable influence on the heat energy requirement of buildings. The general rule is that the smaller the thermal conductivity of the exterior constructional elements the greater the saving.
Thermal insulation today means more than simply saving energy and conserving raw materials. It also means the reduction of pollutant emissions by reducing heating energy requirements. It is a fact that various substances are released when fossil fuels are burned. These include carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen monoxide / nitric oxide, hydrocarbon, and dust. If all housing today were properly insulated, the annual pollutant emission resulting from heating could be significantly reduced. This would also entail a lasting reduction in carbon dioxide emission which occurs in the combustion process and which is attributed with the responsibility for the greenhouse effect.
