1For temperatures above +125 °C or below -50 °C, please contact our Customer Service Centre to request for the corresponding technical information. 2At high service temperatures, a certain hardening process may start on the inner surface of the material. Investigations have shown that these changes have no impact on the good physical and fire protection properties of the material, provided the material is installed in a correct way with all its joints properly sealed. For specific applications please consult our technical service. 3+85 °C, for products with a self-adhesive layer. 4Only for products without self-adhesive-layer. 5Extended exposure to certain conditions could result in aesthetic changes to insulation material. This includes examples such as minor discolouration, surface cracks or hardening of inner surface material due to extended exposure to high service line temperatures. These physical changes do not affect the technical performance of the insulation material, such as thermal conductivity and behaviour in case of a fire. For further information, please contact our Technical Service department. 6Shelf life (maximum storage time) is limited to ensure that only currently manufactured products are installed on projects. This limitation is restricted solely to storage of the product and does not affect the lifetime of product after it has been installed. |
