Polyurethane Structural Foam
A space-age insulation used in passenger jetliners for the past 55 years, making it possible for aircraft to fly at great heights and in temperatures in excess of minus 50 degrees centigrade.
It is inert and has a closed-cell homogenous structure that is fire retarded with no oxygen to carry flames, retaining its insulation values throughout its life, which to date has been checked at ages greater than 50 years without deterioration or delamination.
It is used in domestic refrigerators where the freezer section is normally at minus 22ºC, of course, our insulation section is much thicker in our wall, roof and floor panels, giving exceptionally high insulation values.
Polyurethane structural foam (PUR) which is what Pacific Building Systems use, should not be confused with the inferior expanded polystyrene foam (EPS).
Expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) not only posses a fire risk but is also targeted by vermin and insects. It has been found in roof panels that ants have eaten holes in the core weakening the roof panel. It will also melt when exposed to a hydrocarbon (fuel, insect spray etc.)
This will not happen to polyurethane. See our vermin resistance PDF
Pacific Building Systems Injected Polyurethane cored Structural Sandwich Panels are pressure-bonded to profiled roof sheets for Roof panels and water-resistant Fibre Cement sheets for Wall Panels.
EPS Expanded Poly Styrene cored Sandwich Panels have the EPS core glued to profiled roof sheets for Roof panels and flat metal sheets for Wall panels.
Pacific Building Systems Roofing and Wall Panels
Pacific Building Systems unique lightweight roof panels are available in lengths up to 10 metres. The panels comprise of a high pressure injection bonding of structural polyurethane between sheets of Spandek® in Colorbond® or Zincalume. The roofing and flooring panels system offers a thermal value of R4.3 m2.K/W
The 104 mm wall panel system offers a thermal value of R5.02 m2.K/W and has achieved a permissible stress design load of 3.7kPa from James Cook University’s Structural Cyclone Testing Centre.
