Multi-layered Shield Barrier

Fi-Foil

The company’s RF Shield cripples electromagnetic and radio frequency interference in sensitive compartmented information facility rooms. The product has been verified through a third-party independent IEEE-299 shielding effectiveness test at an NSA-approved TEMPEST facility. It comes in two variations—solid and perforated. Both are constructed of two outer layers of 99 percent pure aluminum foil with a strong inner layer of reinforced fiberglass scrim and Kraft paper. It also meets the ASTM E84 Class A flame compliance rating and has low-e reflective surfaces for thermal protection when exposed to air space. Each roll of RF Shield, which is 51 inches wide and 118 feet long, covers 500 square feet. Learn more at fifoil.com.

Open-cell Spray Foam

Huntsman Building Solutions

FOAM-LOK 750 open-cell spray polyurethane foam insulation is an ideal solution for high-performance homes designed to meet stringent building code and energy efficiency requirements. At a core density of 0.75-pound, the SPF is air impermeable and achieves R-22 in 2x6 wall assemblies. Additional benefits include a more controllable rise during application, a neater appearance, and no need for trimming, which save the contractor on clean-up and overall time on the job. The insulation’s composition also offers sound attenuation, reducing noise heard on either side of the wall. For more information, visit huntsmanbuildingsolutions.com.

Sound Absorbing Foam

BASF

The new grade Basotect UF+ with improved emission properties replaces the successful Basotect UF and opens up additional fields of application. The exceptionally lightweight and flexible foam is ideally suited for the insulation of HVAC technology in buildings. At the same time it reduces effectively the noise level of the facilities. The new grade is globally available as of now. It provides high elasticity, low thermal conductivity, extremely low density without release of mineral fibers during processing. The high flexibility enables individual solutions to fit into very small gaps as well as for highly curved surfaces, e.g. ceilings and walls. The line meets the highest fire safety requirements, including the American ASTM C1410 test standard for industrial applications. For more information, visit basotect.basf.com.
