Rigid foam board insulation is one of the many fields of expertise at Bellis Australia. With a track record spanning beyond 36 years, Bellis has thoroughly developed a specialised catalogue of building and civil engineering solutions and services. Strictly committed to international standards of quality, the Queensland-based company has earned the trust and patronage of leading professionals across such industries as oil, gas, LNG (liquefied natural gas), power, and resource processing.
Bellis offers an innovative take on rigid foam board insulation for both commercial and residential applications. The product development team at Bellis has employed international group research and buying strength to cultivate ties with Pittsburgh Corning, one of the leading experts in glass systems for the construction, industrial and energy sectors on a global scale. Based in the US, Pittsburgh Corning has specialised in the design, manufacture and distribution of glass insulation technology since the 1930s. Bellis is proud to be an official Australian supplier for the world-class company, featuring their signature FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation.
FOAMGLAS® is powered by top-quality materials, harnessed using cutting-edge building techniques and advanced Belgian technology. The state-of-the-art design is based on completely sealed glass cells. FOAMGLAS® is primarily composed of 60% recycled molten glass, along with hermetically sealed glass and carbon elements. The unique makeup is enclosed in a tight closed cellular matrix that inherently blocks the passage of air and moisture through the system, even under thermal cycling.
Bellis highly recommends FOAMGLAS® for use in insulation systems that exhibit higher or lower temperatures than ambient conditions. FOAMGLAS® boasts high initial R-values that efficiently maintain throughout the service life of the product. Industry specifiers across the country have enlisted FOAMEX for demanding applications, such as external under slab insulation of tanks, pipework and vessels in industrial premises.
One of the most sought-after features of insulation systems is resistance to water, vapour, organic solvents, and aggressive chemicals. FOAMGLAS® delivers with zero permeability to such substances, thereby providing optimum protection of metal pipework from premature and long-term deterioration due to corrosion. In the same vein, the cellular glass insulation material also prevents the proliferation of moulds, mildew and plant life that may weaken insulation power and the structural integrity of the greater system. Additionally, the moisture resistance promotes the service life of FOAMGLAS® to prevent rot and deformation, as well as the presence of vermin in facilities.
