Facers to Increase Initial Thermal Resistivity and Reduce Aging of Foam Insulations

Invention Reference Number

202305444

Commercial closed-cell insulation foam boards reduce their thermal resistivity by up to 30% due to gas diffusion in and out of foam cells. We demonstrated that application of certain materials on foams can retard the aging by approximately 70% and increase the foam’s initial thermal resistivity.
