Thermax™ (ci)
DuPont™ Thermax™ (ci) Exterior Foam Insulation is a rigid board insulation consisting of a glass-fiber-reinforced polyisocyanurate foam core faced with nominal 1.25 mil embossed BLUE™ thermoset-coated aluminum on one side and 0.9 mil smooth, reflective aluminum on the other. Designed for continuous insulation, Thermax™ (ci)’s foam core is homogenous – featuring finer cell size and better cell orientation, reducing wormholes and knit lines – resulting in one of the highest R-values available (R-6.5 at 1”) for immediate insulation and weather protection on the job site, as well as long-term thermal performance.

1Aged R-value at 1” of cured foam @ 75°F mean temperature. R-value expressed in ft2 •h•°F/Btu. R-value determined by ASTM C518 using the aging process in ASTM C1289 (90 days @ 140°F)
2Vertical compressive strength is measured at 10 percent deformation or at yield, whichever occurs first.
3Calculated flammability values for this or any other material are not intended to represent hazards that may be present under actual fire conditions.
