ClimaFoam ® XPS Board
Compliance
Will contribute to the thermal insulation of buildings and the compliance with the Building Code of
Australia (BCA) requirements.
Durability
The continuous service temperature limit of ClimaFoam ® XPS Board is up to +70ºC.
Compressive strength
ClimaFoam ® XPS Board has an estimated compressive strength of 300 kPa and will withstand both
occasional and long term static loads. The high compressive strength and rigidity of the boards
allows a range of ballast materials including gravel, soil and concrete slabs to be used as part of
the construction. Load bearing construction elements should be designed to adequately support the
combination of imposed and dead loads without creating excessive deflection.
Vapour resistivity
ClimaFoam ® XPS Board has an estimated water vapour resistivity of ClimaFoam ® XPS Board is
625MNs/g.m when tested in accordance with ASTM E96-2010.
Moisture absorption
ClimaFoam ® XPS Board has an estimated moisture absorption 0.6% by volume when tested in
accordance with ASTM C 272 and can be laid in standing water or up against wet concrete with
negligible impact on the performance of the product.
Handling and storage
ClimaFoam ® XPS Board is easy to handle and install. Ensure the board product is not stored close
to open flames or other ignition sources and avoid volatile organic compounds and chemicals
such as solvents. ClimaFoam ® XPS Board should not be left exposed to prolonged sunlight as this
will result in surface degradation.
