PLASTISPAN 20
Plasti-Fab
#1117000
PlastiSpan® 20 insulation is a closed cell expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation that meets or exceeds the requirements of CAN/ULC-S701,
Standard for Thermal Insulation, Polystyrene, Boards and Pipe Covering.
The closed cell structure of PlastiSpan 20 insulation resists water absorption so it will retain its R-value even in applications where severe temperature differentials occur.
PlastiSpan 20 insulation’s minimum compressive resistance of 140 kPa (20 psi) makes it ideal to insulate low temperature freezer floors or for use in other applications where moderate loads are expected.
- Meets all building code requirements
- Meets CAN/ULC-S701, Type 2
- Thermal resistance - RSI 0.70/25 mm (R-value 4.04/inch)
- Closed cell insulation resists moisture
- CCMC 12425-L
Continuous insulation eliminates thermal bridging, increasing your total effective RSI/R-value. This reduces energy costs and increases
your energy savings.
CAN/ULC-S701-11, Standard for Thermal Insulation, Polystyrene, Boards and Pipe Covering is the National Standard of Canada for moulded expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation.
