HL1 / HL2 / HL3

Plastazote® foams are cross linked polyolefin foams of high purity, with expansion by pressure nitrogen. The following properties can be considered for applications of thermal and acoustic insulation:

  • Excellent thermal conductivity value (?=0.037 W/mK)
  • Closed cell structure with very low water absorption, which avoids the problems of loss of insulation properties suffered by open cell materials.
  • Easy adaptability to curved surfaces.
  • Excellent properties for cutting and machining process

These products have been specifically developed for applications in climates with extreme temperatures and problems of water vapor condensation.
