AUSTHANE PIR 45 is suitable for insulating applications in hot or cold environments, with ‘contact side’ temperatures ranging from - 50 °C to + 130 °C.
AUSTHANE PIR 45 foam has better Fire Resistance properties than standard flame-retarded polyurethane foams.
AUSTHANE PIR 45 foam achieved a GROUP 1 Classification in accordance with Specification A2.4 of the Building Code of Australia when tested under the AS/NZS 3837 Standard. [CSIRO Test Report FNK 10180-July 2011 - a pdf document is available.].
AUSTHANE PIR 45 is formulated using ecomate® an “environmentally friendly” blowing agent with Zero ODP and Zero GWP.
The use of ecomate® Blowing Agent results in the foam having excellent Thermal Insulation properties. The Thermal Conductivity k factor is 0.0215 W/m.K at 23.1 °C. [AWTA Test Report 187912 - 5 July 2011].

Availability
AUSTHANE PIR 45 is made in blocks nominally 600mm high, 1200mm wide and 2400, 2700, or 3000mm long. The foam can be supplied as
•
sheets from 15mm to 600mm
•
pipe section to required diameter
•
with aluminium foil facing - single or doubled sided
Polyisocyanurate foams, referred to as PIR, is essentially modified polyurethane (PU) foam. Two advantages of PIR foam are improved fire-resistance and excellent insulation properties.
The proportion of MDI is higher than for PUR. As a result the MDI will also react with itself, producing strong chains of isocyanurate. These chains are stronger than normal bonds in polyurethane and results in a chemically and thermally more stable foam.
* Note 1: The product is available in any required thickness from 15 mm to > 300 mm as required.
* Note 2 : The relationship of R value to Sheet Thickness is linear in practical terms of the application and use for the recommended Exposure Temperatures for the product.
