K8 Cavity Wallboard

Kooltherm K8 Cavity Wailboard is a CFC-free phenolic foam laminate with a reinforced low emissivity composite foil facing autohesively bonded to each surface. The closed-cell foam core gives the board outstanding thermal performance, while the phenolic resin composition leads to excellent fire characteristics and low smoke generation.

Application

K8 is designed as a partial fill cavity wall insulation board, where its low thermal conductivity allows the required U-values to be achieved with the minimum thickness of insulation. I<8 can be used with a variety of different wall constructions, see BBA Certificate No. 94/3047 for further details.
