DuPont™ Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) Exterior Insulation
Toughest, Most Durable Polyiso Insulation for the Thermax™ Wall System
<br><b>DuPont™ Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) Exterior Polyisocyanurate Insulation</b> is the toughest insulation for the patented Thermax™ Wall System. Designed for continuous insulation, <b>Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci)’s</b> glass-fiber-reinforced polyisocyanurate foam core is homogenous – featuring finer cell size and better cell orientation, reducing voids and knit lines – resulting in one of the highest R-values available for immediate insulation and weather protection on the job site, as well as long-term thermal performance. <br><br> <b>Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) Insulation</b> is also the only Thermax™ Insulation with a dark exterior facer optimized to go behind rain screen exteriors. Its integral, durable thermoset-coated aluminum facer provides a drainage plane, water-resistive barrier and exterior sheathing; eliminating the need for a membrane, building wrap or exterior gypsum. Boasting a strong 4.0 mil embossed, acrylic-coated exterior foil facer, <b>Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) Insulation</b> provides builders with more durability for long-term performance. <br><br> With its low perm rating and high insulating value, <b>Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) Insulation</b> can help reduce the potential for condensation within the wall assembly. Thermax™ is also manufactured using a distinct free-rise technology using a unique fiberglass core for better product consistency, durability and fire performance than generic polyisocyanurate insulations.

FAQ
What sets DuPont™ Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) Exterior Insulation apart from other Thermax products? Boasting a strong 4.0 mil embossed, acrylic-coated exterior foil facer, Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) provides builders with more durability for long-term performance. Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) is also the only Thermax™ insulation with a dark exterior facer optimized to go behind rain screen exteriors. In the USA, a 20-year limited thermal warranty is available. When used as a component in the Thermax™ Wall System, a 15-year limited water-resistance warranty is also available. Can DuPont™ Thermax™ Brand Insulation be left exposed to the building interior? Thermax™ Brand Insulation products can be left exposed to the building interior (i.e., without a thermal barrier such as 1/2 inch gypsum wallboard) in specific non-rated ceiling assemblies or non-rated construction in commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings. Thermax™ Brand Insulation products cannot be left exposed to exterior conditions.
The use of Thermax™ Brand Insulation exposed to the building interior is documented with a Code Compliance Research Report (CCRR-0440).
NOTE: Thermax™ cannot be used as a duct work or plenum insulation- it does not meet the IBC /IMC for flame spread of 25 or less and smoke developed of 50 or less
How much does DuPont™ Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) Exterior Insulation weigh? 0.216 lb/ft2
To get weight of 1 inch x 4 feet x 8 feet board multiple the value by 32
Example: Thermax™ XARMOR™ (ci) Insulation 1in x 4ft x 8ft weighs (0.216 x 32) = 6.9 lbs What are the ASTM C1289 classifications for DuPont polyisocyanurate products ? The ASTM C1289 classifications for DuPontpolyisocyanurate products are as shown below:
Type1 - Faced with aluminum foil on both major surfaces of the core foam. Class 1 - Non-reinforced core foam. Class 2 - Glass fiber reinforced core foam. Dimensional stability will be greater than Class 1 when fastened properly. ASTM C1289 Class 2 exceeds Class 1 requirements.
