FOAMGLAS® is comprised of completely sealed glass cells, primarily made of 60% recycled molten glass, hermetically sealed glass and carbon. Each cell serves as inhibitors to the passage of air, moisture, vapour, acids, organic solvents, and various aggressive chemicals, even under thermal cycling. FOAMGLAS® is guaranteed to deliver superior performance, especially for insulation systems with higher or lower ambient temperatures. With high long-term R-values, the cellular glass insulation makes for the ideal solution to both thermal and cryogenic applications.
Insulation power can be severely diminished by moisture alone. Moisture forms ice when the ambient temperature is below the freezing point, which can damage the cellular glass insulation material and structure. It's good to know that FOAMGLAS® will not soak up moisture to store in the system, unlike with some foam or wool insulation materials. The closed cellular matrix of FOAMGLAS® allows for impermeability to water vapour and liquids, thereby promoting the performance and longevity of insulation. In addition, FOAMGLAS® virtually defeats the need for standalone moisture barriers, minimising the consumption of resources.
The watertight composition of FOAMGLAS® also makes for excellent resistance to mildew, moulds and plant growth. On the other hand, its durability and recycled glass makeup result in natural resistance to any kind of vermin. Aside from waterproof properties, the cellular glass material exhibits high fire resistance, in accordance with ASTM E 84 and EN 13501: A1. FOAMGLAS® preserves structural integrity, effectively mitigating corrosion, rot and other forms of deterioration on the long term. Lightweight yet rigid, it is highly recommended for the insulation of tanks, vessels and pipework in industrial premises.
