Low thermal conductivity:rubber foam insulation material is a closed bubble structure, small thermal conductivity, good insulation effect, can effectively reduce energy consumption, and the thermal conductivity of PE insulation board is relatively high. For example, under the same insulation requirements, the thickness required for rubber foam insulation materials may be thinner, so that better insulation effects can be achieved.
Good fire performance: rubber foam materials in line with the national standard GB8624 "Building materials combustion performance analysis", the test determined as GB8624B1 grade flame retardant materials, with good fire performance. The fire performance of PE insulation board is relatively poor.
Strong resistance to water vapor penetration:rubber foam insulation material is a closed bubble structure, the water in the outside air is difficult to penetrate into the material, with excellent resistance to water vapor penetration, cold insulation layer does not need to add steam insulation layer, even if the product scratch does not affect the overall steam insulation, both insulation layer and moisture-proof layer. The resistance of PE insulation board to water vapor penetration is relatively weak, and additional moisture-proof measures may be required.
Thin materials, save space: the thickness of rubber foam insulation materials is reduced by about two-thirds than that of other insulation materials, which can save the space above the ceiling of the floor and improve the indoor height. The PE insulation board to achieve the same insulation effect, may need a thicker thickness, take up more space.
Convenient construction:rubber foam insulation material is soft, easy to bend, construction safety is very convenient, save labor and materials. The PE insulation board is relatively hard, and more tools and skills may be required during construction.
Beautiful appearance: The appearance of rubber foam insulation materials is elegant and clean, and the appearance of PE insulation board is relatively ordinary.
