Polyisocyanurate is a closed cell rigid foam board insulation.

PIC can be supplied in sheet form and pipe sections.  PIC foams are fine cellular rigid foams.

PIC INSULATION

Fine cellular rigid foams are a type of insulation material made from a variety of polymers, including polyurethane, polystyrene, and polyisocyanurate. These foams are characterized by their small, fine cells that give them a uniform and smooth appearance. Here are some of the characteristics and applications of fine cellular rigid foams:

1.    Thermal insulation: Fine cellular rigid foams have excellent thermal insulation properties, making them a popular choice for insulating walls, roofs, and other building components. They can help to reduce energy costs and improve indoor comfort by reducing heat loss or gain.

2.    Lightweight: Fine cellular rigid foams are lightweight and easy to handle, which makes them ideal for use in a variety of construction applications.

3.    Strength and durability: Despite being lightweight, fine cellular rigid foams are also strong and durable. They can withstand compression, and some formulations are also resistant to moisture and fire.

4.    Versatility: Fine cellular rigid foams can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, making them suitable for use in many different applications. They can be easily cut or molded to fit a specific shape or size requirement.

5.    Cost-effective: Fine cellular rigid foams are generally cost-effective compared to other types of insulation materials, making them a popular choice for builders and contractors.

6.    Environmentally friendly: Some formulations of fine cellular rigid foams are now being made with environmentally friendly materials, such as recycled content or bio-based materials.
Overall, fine cellular rigid foams are a versatile and effective insulation material that can be used in a variety of construction applications. They offer excellent thermal insulation properties, are lightweight, and are cost-effective. 

Product Benefits

Conforms to FM Approval standardss 4880 (1994), flammability characterization is recommended for applications where good fire performance is required.
