48 JUNE 2014 PRO INSTALLER FIT SHOW PREVIEW Fifty (free) reasons to visit ISO Chemie at FIT Show Installers visiting the ISO Chemie stand (380) at the FIT Show 2014 are being offered the chance to try out its high performance foam sealants for free. ISO-Chemie, one of Europe’s leading producers of foam sealant tapes, will be displaying its solutions for A+ rated window installations at the event - and the first 50 installers who qualify will each receive enough ISO BLOCO tape to see how it provides high performance window sealing while simultaneously providing a few hours (at about 200C) to ensure everything is correct prior to the foam fully filling the joint, eliminating any potential waste on site due to time and temperature factors. Quick and easy-to-sue ISO-BLOCO One foam sealing tape - available with a 10 year performance guarantee - enables windows to be sealed from inside the building, avoiding the need to use time consuming and costly external access systems like scaffolding and ladders. This offers a single ‘fit and forget’ solution for fast and effective sealing based around the European RAL principles of three level sealing - the inside seal area is more airtight than the external one, allowing any trapped moisture inside the joint, or within the wall, to escape outwards rat her than into the building. Peter Thompson, ISO Chemie’s general manager, said there’s a lot of focus within the industry around thermal and acoustic insulation and the importance of air tightness. He said: “Despite advances in glass and window frame technology that delivers first class thermal insulating properties too many applications - and customers - are being let down by second rate installations. “Installers deserve the best possible insulating products to save energy and money for customers. “That’s why we’re offering the chance to showcase the on-site benefits of our tapes and look forward to welcoming on to our stand installers and new customers looking to take advantage of regular, added value and rapid sealing solutions.” ISO BLOCO is part of the iso³ system also showing at FIT Show, which represents the latest in high performance sealing solutions, which utilise ‘smart’ foam technology impregnated to create a measurable U-Value as low as 0.6w/m2k, giving superb thermal insulation and acoustic sound reduction by at least 44dB. ISO-Chemie is one of Europe’s main producers of impregnated foam sealants, specialising in the manufacturer of foam products from polyethylene (EPE), polypropylene (EPP) and polyurethane (PUR) using the latest production techniques. The company’s UK technical and distribution operation is based in the North East of England, supported by a dedicated logistics service to ensure customer orders are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible (usually next-day delivery).
