Insulation Foam

Insulation Foam (Phenolic foam)

VND Phenolic foam is a light weight, easy to handle, ideal for varieties of uses in insulation across a range of applications. Phenolic foam is a rigid Cellular foam product with a closed fine cell structure, whose polymer structure is made of poly condensation of phenol and aldehydes.

One of the most widely used product in residential, commercial and industrial construction, It is also used in Naval, aerospace, Defence applications.

The fire performance of VND phenolic foam { Insulation Foam} is exceptional. It combines zero or very low flame spread with negligible smoke emission and a very low level of toxic gas emission.

In addition, VND Phenolic foam evolves exceptionally low smoke when exposed to fire and is capable of meeting or exceeding all international building regulation requirements. Toxic gas emission from phenolic foam is generally limited to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide with very low levels of other gases.

VND phenolic foam offers a significantly better insulation performance than all other insulation materials providing an energy saving benefit and lower long term system running costs.

VND Phenolic foam is also used in a number of high specialised applications including fire doors, highly fire resistant panels and for insulation in surface ships, off-shore installations and submarines.

Insulation Foam Properties

  • Phenolic foam has very low embodied energy per unit thermal performance compared to other insulation materials
  • Significant energy savings can be achieved compared to other insulation materials
  • VND Phenolic foam is manufactured entirely without CFC/HCFC blowing agents.
  • Phenolic foam has been used successfully in insulation systems where moisture resistance is a key issue
  • Phenolic foam has a low water vapour presence and is therefore highly resistant to the passage of water vapour
  • VND Phenolic foam has extremely fine cell structure and more than 90% closed cell structure.
  • High density phenolic foam has very good structural properties and such can be used for pipe and duct supports.

Phenolic foam has been used successfully in insulation systems where moisture resistance is a key issue.
