Phenolic Foam Insulation

The best thermal conductivity of any foam we supply at 0.018 W/m·K, with a Class O fire rating - the specification to reach for when both energy performance and fire safety are tight.

Product Details

Phenolic foam does two things at once that most materials trade off against each other: it has the lowest thermal conductivity of any foam we supply, and it carries a Class O fire rating. On projects where the energy calculation and the fire strategy are both demanding, it is usually the answer.

Why engineers specify it

  • Thermal conductivity of 0.018 W/m·K
  • Class O fire rating
  • Service from -180 °C to +125 °C
  • Closed-cell structure with low moisture absorption
  • Thinner build-up for the same thermal performance, which saves space

Supplied as

  • Pipe sections
  • Slabs
  • Boards

Where it is used

  • Chilled water and HVAC pipework
  • Cold storage and process cooling
  • Cryogenic and low-temperature systems
  • Building services where fire performance is specified

Good to Know

Questions about Phenolic Foam Insulation

Its thermal conductivity is 0.018 W/m.K - the best of any foam we supply. In practice that means a thinner build-up for the same performance, which matters in tight service voids.

Class O. That combination of low conductivity and fire performance is the main reason phenolic is specified on building services projects.

From -180 °C up to +125 °C, so it spans cryogenic service through chilled water and into low-temperature hot service.
