Insulfoam R-tech® Insulation Panels
R-TECH® INSULATION PANELS
R-TECH® INSULATION PANELS
Ready for Everything
R-TECH has been used successfully for numerous commercial, industrial and residential roofing, wall and below-grade applications. Panels are available in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses and compressive strengths up to 60 psi.
R-TECH® RIGID FOAM INSULATION
R-Tech Panels are an engineered rigid insulation consisting of a superior closed-cell, lightweight and resilient expanded polystyrene (EPS) with advanced polymeric laminate facers. R-Tech is available with factory-adhered metallic-reflective facers, white facers or a combination of the two.
The core of R-Tech is the same high-quality EPS as our InsulFoam insulations and meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM C578, Type I, Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation. In addition, R-Tech has excellent dimensional stability, compressive strength and water resistance properties. R-Tech can contribute toward LEED® credits. Consult local building codes and membrane manufacturers for system requirements.

ENHANCED R-VALUES
In certain applications, increased R-Values can be obtained by placing the metallic refl ective side of the R-Tech towards a dead air space. R-Value gain is dependent on the amount of dead air space between the R-Tech and outer surface. R-Value gains are based on the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals. See the attached Effective R-Value chart.
JOBSITE DURABILITY
With a polymeric facer on either side of it, R-Tech is extremely fl exible and durable.
INSECT AND MOLD RESISTANCE
R-Tech is manufactured with an inert additive that deters termites and carpenter ants. R-Tech does not sustain mold and mildew growth.
PROVEN PERFORMANCE
EPS has been manufactured using the same chemistry since the mid-1950s, providing proven performance.
USER FRIENDLY
R-Tech can be ordered with the InsulSnapTM feature which scores the product longitudinally at any pre- ordered interval (commonly 16” or 24” o.c.). The InsulSnap feature minimizes labor by enabling the installer to cleanly break the product at the desired width while also minimizing product breakage and waste.
MOISTURE RESISTANCE
R-Tech facers provide a surface that is virtually impervious to moisture and the InsulFoam EPS core does not readily absorb moisture from the environment.
DURABLE
With a polymeric facer on either side of it, R-Tech is extremely flexible and durable.
ENHANCED R-VALUES
With no thermal drift over its entire service life, the product is eligible for an Insulfoam 20-year Thermal Performance Warranty.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Does not contain any dyes, 100% recyclable foam.
WATER RESISTANCE
Facers provide a surface that is virtually impervious to moisture.
SIZES
R-Tech is available in 4' x 8' sheets with thicknesses from 3/8" to 5" in 1/8" increments. R-Tech can also be ordered with the InsulSnap feature which allows the end user to cleanly break the 4' x 8' sheets into any desired width. All of the R-Tech insulation products are available with metallic refl ective and InsulFoam white facers. In addition, custom sizes and densities are available upon request with little or no impact on lead time. Several R-Tech products are also available as 200 sf bundles of Fanfold.
CODE APPROVALS
Insulfoam insulations are recognized by the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES), for numerous applications. Please contact your local Insulfoam details.
