Proposed performance for reuse

  • Thermal conductivity: 0.0398 W/mK

  • Compressive strength: ≥ 80 kPa

  • Dimensional stability: At high temperature (70°C) and high relative humidity (90%), there is mainly a risk of expansion in the thickness direction (> 1%). In the length and width directions and at low temperature (-20°C), the risk of severe deformation is generally limited.

  • Water absorption: Absorbs moisture quickly during prolonged contact with water, with most of the water absorption measured after 28 days already taking place within the first 24 hours.
