Thanks to its special properties, HUAYUE® foam glass insulation fulfills even the most stringent requirements. Because of its hermetically sealed cell structure, foam cellular glass is extremely incompressible, absolutely waterproof and sealed against vapour diffusion, and does not absorb any moisture. HUAYUE® insulation is the only insulating material in which the material structure means that the vapour barrier is already “built-in”.
1 Waterproof
HUAYUE® insulation is water-proof because it consists of pure glass.
Advantage: does not absorb any moisture and does not swell.
2 Constant insulating efficiency
HUAYUE® insulation provides constant insulating efficiency permanently.
Advantage: insulation without performance degradation for any applications.
3 Compression-proof F
HUAYUE® insulation is extraordinarily in-compressible without deformation even with long-term loads due to its cell geometry.
Advantage: use as load-bearing thermal insulation without risk.
4 Incombustible
HUAYUE® insulation cannot burn because it consists of pure glass. Fire behaviour classification: EN 13501: A1. ASTM E84 flame spread 0 / Smoke developement 0.
Advantage: storage and processing not hazardous. No propagation of flames in the event of
fire, protects process pipework and vessels.
5 Vapour-tight
HUAYUE® insulation is vapour-tight because it consists of hermetically sealed glass cells.
Advantage: Cannot become wet or transmit moisture. Constant thermal insulation value over decades. The vapour barrier consists of the full thickness of HUAYUE® insulation.
6 Dimensionally stable
HUAYUE® is dimensionally stable because glass neither shrinks nor swells.
Advantage: no warping, contracting or creep. Low coefficient of expansion, nearly equal to that of steel and concrete.
7 Acid-resistant
HUAYUE® insulation is resistant to organic solvents and acids because it consists of pure glass.
Advantage: no destruction of the insulation by aggressive media and atmospheres.
8 Pest-proof
HUAYUE® insulation cannot rot and is pestproof because it is inorganic.
Advantage: insulation without risk, especially for tank bases and buried applications. No basis
for nesting, breeding or seed germination.
9 Easy to work with
HUAYUE® insulation is easy to work with because it consists of thin-walled glass cells.
Advantage: HUAYUE® insulation can be cut to any desired measurement with simple tools like a saw blade or hand saw.
10 Ecological
HUAYUE® insulation is free of environmentally damaging flame retardants and propellants, no relevant eco-toxic components.
Advantage: After generations of use as thermal insulation, HUAYUE® insulation can be used again: as filler in landscaping or thermally insulating granulate. Ecologically sensible recycling through reuse.
Unique properties make HUAYUE® insulation an incomparable insulation.
