Kulite

Kulite is a rigid laminated expanded polystyrene insulation board consisting of a core of Sagex
flame retardant expanded polystyrene (EPS) faced on both sides with various combinations of
reflective aluminum foil, lacquered foil and vinyl facings.

All Sagex EPS used in Kulite is flame retardant which causes the material to shrink away from an
ignition source reducing the risk of further burning.

The EPS used in Kulite manufacturing has a density of 16 kg/m³, but can be manufactured in higher
densities if required.

Quality Management System

ISO 9001:2000 in progress

Features and Benefits

• Life long energy savings
  
• Lightweight and easy to handle
  
• CFC free
  
• Kulite is generally unaffected by extreme temperature variations (-150°C to 70°C)

Fire Properties

CSIR tested - Kulite does not spread flame - the heat contribution of EPS to fires is insignificant as it
contains less than 400g of polymer/m² for 25mm thickness. Kulite is not considered highly toxic in fire.

Thermal Properties

Thermal conductivity at 10°C - 0.036 W/mK
Thermal resistance value (Rval) = 0.69 m²K/W for 25mm sheet.

Acoustic Properties

EPS is not known as a good sound absorbing product due to its closed cell structure and low density.
Isover offers a range of alternative acoustical insulation products if required.
