PRODUCTDATASHEET

The POLYGUARD PolyPhen thermal

insulation is one component in our
PolyPhen system including a range of
rigid foam insulation densities designed for
piping systems, tanks, vessels and
ductwork in commercial and industrial
applications.
The PolyPhen rigid foam insulation
products, have thermal conductivities from
0.15-.22 Btu in/hr ft2 and can be used to
insulate surfaces operating within the
temperature range of -290F to +250F
(-180C to + 120C}, and is manufactured
to provide optimum thermal performance
and flame resistance, low smoke emissions,
environmental safety, and efficient cost.
PolyPhen rigid foam insulation is ideally
suited for:

2.5#
3.75#
5.0#
7.5#

Rigid foam insulation products have been

specified for over 30 years in North America,
PolyPhen rigid foam products have proven
that they provide outstanding thermal
performance on commercial and industrial
projects; hundreds of thousands of feet of pipe
has been insulated with high R-value foam
insulation.
Polyguards Insulation technical expertise,
seasoned sales force, and engineering expertise
has proven to be the best solution time and
again in major projects. In the eyes of
engineering community and leading insulation
contractors, our insulation system it is the
solution to long lasting, efficient installation.
