"Penoplex Comfort": technical characteristics, properties, application

Modern construction pursues several tasks, one of them is the mastery of new technologies, while the other is the minimization of the time and resources that are spent on working on the project. In order to meet these requirements, universal materials are required that could be used in a wide range of work. They should be characterized by excellent quality characteristics and have a long service life. One of them is "Penoplex Comfort". Technical characteristics of this insulation will be presented below.

Description

This material is a foamed extruded polystyrene, which consists of small cells filled with air. The dimensions of the latter can vary between 0.1 and 0.2 millimeters. This feature has a positive effect on heat-saving functions, which makes the material one of the best among analogues. Thus, the thermal conductivity is 0.030 W / (m × ° C). The remaining characteristics can not be called less impressive: the insulation almost does not absorb water, and the vapor permeability is equivalent to 0.013 Mg / (m * h * Pa).

Additional technical characteristics

"Penoplex Comfort", the technical characteristics of which are presented in the article, has a very impressive strength. One square meter can be affected by a load of 20 tons. In this case, the sheets have a low weight, while their density varies from 25-35 kg per cubic meter. The material can be used in the temperature range from -50 to +75 degrees. By purchasing this thermal insulation, you can count on a service life that can last up to 80 years. However, the properties will not be lost by the material.

Dimensions

"Penoplex Comfort", the technical characteristics of which must be known to the professional and home master before the beginning of work, is made in the form of plates, the width of which is 600 millimeters. As for the length, it is 1200 millimeters. The thickness of the can vary from 20 to 100 millimeters.

Application area

"Penoplex Comfort", the technical characteristics of which allow the material to be used in a wide variety of areas, suitable for thermal insulation of both a city apartment and a country house.

If you compare the product described with other products of the company, then, as a rule, the latter have a narrow specialization: for example, they are used to insulate motor roads, walls or roofs. If we are talking about a heater called "Penoplex Comfort", then this insulation is universal. Due to this, it is successfully used for thermal insulation of balconies, foundations, basement floors and loggias, as well as roofing, ceilings, floors and garden paths.

If there is a need for the warming of saunas, pools or baths, then "Penoplex Comfort" is also very suitable for this. Thus, if you faced the task of sealing walls made of aerated concrete, then "Penoplex Comfort" (30 mm thick) will suit perfectly for this work.

If you decide to use mineral wool for this purpose, then to create a thermal barrier, which will have the same properties as the above material, it will be necessary to form a 50-millimeter layer. This can not do without high-quality basalt wool.

Before resorting to the latest technology, it must be remembered that in places where the mineral woolen fabrics are joined, cold bridges are inevitably formed . "Penoplex Comfort" is a heater made in such a way that you can easily eliminate the described problem. After all, this insulation has a g-shaped edge that can save a professional or private master from the problems highlighted above, safely sealing the entire structure.

Cost of a heater

"Penoplex Comfort", the price of which will depend on how much the factory-dealer is removed from the manufacturer's company, can have a density ranging from 25 to 35 kg per cubic meter. For such material at a thickness of a cloth in 20 millimeters you should pay 1120 rubles for packing.

With an increase in thickness to 40 millimeters, the consumer will pay 1130 rubles. In this case, the package will be 9 sheets. The most impressive in thickness materials in 100 millimeters will cost 1260 rubles. The number of sheets in one package will be four.

It should be remembered that when choosing a thermal insulation of this type, it is recommended to focus on the cost, not for the area, but for the volume. This will make it easier to calculate the costs. If you decide to purchase "Penoplex Comfort", its price will be 4300 rubles per cubic meter. This figure does not depend on the thickness.

Additional Properties

If you decide to use the "Penoplex" plate when working, it is important to know about all the features of the material. Manufacturers and consumers note that linens are characterized by compressive strength. This is due to the presence of the same evenly distributed small cells. They improve the strength characteristics. Even with impressive loads, the sheet does not change its original dimensions.

Plates "Penoplex" not only have a lot of advantages that are manifested during operation, but also characterized by ease of work with them. You can easily adjust the original size with a conventional knife. Plates are used for wall sheathing, while manipulations do not take much time, and the master does not have to put much effort.

When working with this thermal insulation, do not be afraid that it will be affected by snow or rain. This is because the Penoplex does not need protection from external negative factors.

Ecological and chemical activity

If the environmental friendliness of the material is especially important to you, then it is important to take into account the fact that the "Penoplex" is at its height. Some argue that in the production of this insulation freons are used. However, experts emphasize that substances of this type are completely safe: they are not exposed to fire, are not poisonous and do not contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer.

Private consumers, with rare exceptions, do not pay attention to the chemical activity of the material. It is worth noting that in this case it is almost zero. Most of the substances used in construction are not able to react with the described thermal insulation.

However, there are some limitations that are that some of the organic solvents may contribute to the softening of the board, disrupting the original shape and causing dissolution.

"Penoplex Comfort" 50 will protect against interaction with benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, formalin, complex and simple ethers, as well as substances from the class of ketones. This includes diesel fuel, gasoline, kerosene, coal tar, polyesters and oily base paints.

Conclusion

With the correct choice of "Penoplex" and observance of the technology of its laying, you can count on a positive effect. However, the master who does not have experience in carrying out these manipulations will be able to do installation work.
