IBOARD MAX

Phenolic Foam Insulation

IBOARD MAX is a rigid insulation board composed of a very low thermal-conductivity phenolic foam core with a low-E, gas-tight reflective foil facing on each side. Tested for fire compliance in accordance with AS 1530.3 and AS 5637.1 for concealed and exposed applications, IBOARD MAX phenolic foam insulation provides superior fire safety and higher R-values from less thickness, resulting in better building performance, thinner wall build-ups and increased floor area. IBOARD MAX phenolic foam insulation is widely used in cavity-walls and under-slab soffit applications where it delivers exceptional thermal performance.

Group 2 Fire Rating

When tested as per AS 5637.1 and NCC 2022 requirements, IBOARD MAX phenolic foam insulation achieves a Group 2 fire rating for compliant use in exposed applications such as under-slab car park soffits.

Excellent Fire Safety

Along with a Group 2 rating, IBOARD MAX phenolic foam insulation exceeds the minimum smoke requirements of NCC 2022, Specification S7C4 by over 250 times, demonstrating excellent fire safety.

100% Fibre-free

Unlike some other insulation products, IBOARD MAX phenolic foam insulation is 100% fibre-free meaning more comfortable working conditions, cleaner air onsite and long-term health benefits.

Thinner is Smarter

Because phenolic foam is one of the lowest thermal conductivity insulation materials available, required R-values can be achieved with less thickness meaning thinner walls and more floor area.

Construction Efficiencies

With a light-weight density of <50kg/m3 and large 2400 x 1200mm boards, IBOARD MAX phenolic foam insulation provides outstanding efficiency during transporting, handling onsite and installation.

Environmental Leader

Not only does IBOARD MAX reduce energy consumption in the building through-out its life, it also creates much greater insulating outcomes using less raw materials for environmental sustainability.

Clear Cavity & Extra R-value

When IBOARD MAX is used in a wall cavity, a clear gap is maintained for services such as electricity and the low-emittance foil facer can also contribute additional R-value when facing towards the cavity.

Best Value Proposition

As with all BLUECHIP's product range, our manufacture-to-industry direct supply chain (with no middle man) means that IBOARD MAX phenolic foam insulation provides the best possible value proposition.

*Does your project require Non-combustible materials?
