Resolco International

• Resolco International introduces the new
  generation of phenolic foam insulation for
  mechanical / HVAC systems
• Insul-Phen is the worlds only closed cell, low k
  factor foam insulation that is 100 CFC and HCFC
  free producing a zero ozone depleting material
  that complies with world wide protocols AND North
  American fire standards

5
Resolco International

• Manufactures a quality assured foam block in a
  state of the art process controlled facility in
  the Netherlands
• Resolcos personnel have decades of experience in
  the devolopment, manufacture and marketing of
  rigid foam insulation and are dedicated to
  improving insulation standards worldwide

6
A brief history of Phenolic foam

• Insul-phen is a rigid phenolic insulation.
• Phenolic was invented in 1907 by Leo Hendrick
  Baekeland, who is regarded as the father of
  todays plastics industry.
• He developed Bakelite - the worlds first
  synthetic plastic.
• In the decades that followed, Bakelite was widely
  used for many everyday objects

7
Resolco are proud to present the latest
generation of phenolic foams

• CFC HCFC free-zero ozone depletion
• Zero Ozone Depleting Materials Will Achieve 1
  Leed Point For Green Buildings
• To date millions of linear feet of phenolic pipe
  insulation have been installed in North America

8
Phenolic foam has been used worldwidesince 1983

• It is the standard specification in the U.K. and
  Hong Kong
• Many prestigious projects worldwide have used
  phenolic foam
• Installations include commercial buildings,
  schools, hospitals and universities, food
  processing and governmental buildings
• MD Anderson Cancer Research Center in Houston,
  TX, a part of the University of Texas system, has
  had over 360,000 linear feet of insulation
  installed in the building since its 1st
  construction phase in 1992

Phenolic foam has been used worldwide since 1983

• The National Institute of Standards and
  Technology has over 200,000 Square feet in its
  latest building

What does the engineering sector consider when
specifying insulation materials?

• Thermal Insulation Value
• Insul-Phen phenolic foam has a k factor of 0.13
  Btu-in/ft2 F
• This is the most thermally efficient product on
  the market compared to competing materials for
  mechanical systems
• When designing a green building, this will
  provide 1 Leed point

15
Thermal Insulation Value

• Reduced thickness for tight locations such as
  concealed areas, pipe chase and racks
• Reduced surface area reduces the quantity of
  covering material such as metal jacketing, PVC or
  coatings which in turn reduces overall costs

16
What does the engineering sector consider when
specifying insulation materials?

• In hot and humid climates, chilled water
  insulation must be closed-cell to avoid moisture
  and water vapour penetration problems.
• These problems lead to loss of insulation,
  dripping, building fabric damage, mould growth,
  corrosion and increased energy costs.
• Resolco Insul-Phen is a 97 closed cell content
  which reduces moisture ingress. Insul-Phen is
  provided with a factory applied vapor barrier
  jacket such as ASJ or Venture 1555U will prevent
  moisture vapor intrusion

Humidity and Condensation

• If pipework is insulated with an open cell
  structure material, such as fiberglass, the
  material will become saturated with water.
• The water will then start to drip from the
  material.

Water saturation
Excess water drips
Steel pipe
18
What does the engineering sector consider when
specifying insulation materials?

• Flame and Smoke
• Fire safe low / smoke emission materials must be
  used in occupied buildings
• Insul-Phen has Underwriters Laboratories test
  approvals, according to ASTM E-84
  protocol for flame and smoke.
  The results include composite testing, up
  to and including 3 with the ASJ
  and Venture 1555U jacketing systems.
• Insul-Phen also meets requirements of S102 and
  S127 Canadian fire standards

19
Fire Smoke Risks

• In high occupancy buildings, people must have
  clear sight of exit
  signs to be able to escape.
• Inhalation of toxic fumes will kill more people
  than the fire itself
• Therefore, materials with low smoke and toxic gas
  
  emission should always be used.
• In many fires, more people are killed by smoke
  than flames
