Isocom insulation: features and application

Each person, equipping the dwelling, should pay special attention to warming of the room. Currently, in the building materials market, any person will be able to meet a wide variety of materials intended for this purpose. Isocom insulation is very popular.

Isocom is a super-dense polyethylene base, which has excellent thermal insulation properties. Such characteristics it boasts due to the low conductivity of heat. This material is produced by a large international company. LLC "Izotek". Most experts also point out many other useful characteristics of this material, thanks to which it was able to gain considerable popularity among consumers.So, Isocom has excellent sound insulation properties, so it is often used as protection against unnecessary sounds.

Today on the construction market there are several of the most popular types of Isocom material:

• Isocom PPI-PL is a special foam product. Often it is made using a damper tape. It has a one-sided coating with special metallized lavsan. This model boasts excellent sound insulation properties. In addition, it also has a high level of vapor barrier, so this is the standard type, it is most often used in construction.
• Isocom PPI-M It has the form of a multi-layer fabric with welding. This model has enhanced sound insulation and thermal insulation properties. But it should be noted that this particular sample differs from the others in higher cost.

• Isocom PPI-JS is a butt material that is made from polyethylene foam.As a rule, it is used when sealing joints in panel structures and when installing doors and windows. This sample has good sound-proofing and heat-insulating qualities, at the same time it has a low price, therefore many consumers prefer it.
• Isocom PPI-OT most often used to isolate pipes from temperature fluctuations, corrosion and other harmful environmental influences. This type of material significantly reduces the amount of heat loss. It is also worth noting that this model protects structures from freezing.

• Isocom PPI-P is the most common model among all. It has a small thickness (2-10 mm). Most often, such a product is used for hiding concrete after pouring. Often it is also used in the insulation of interior partitions and interfloor zones.
• Model Isocom PPI-PF It has the appearance of a dense web, which is laminated with a special foil. At the same time, it can be placed both on one side of the material, and immediately from two. Most often, this type of insulation is used for spaces that are located under the roof.For the best heat-insulating effect it is used together with polyfoam.
• Heater Isocom EuroMat It is presented by large sheets which consist of polyethylene. The thickness of such a roll reaches 50 mm. It should be said that this material is used not only for thermal insulation, but also to prevent the penetration of moisture in the room.

Many experts identify a number of important technical characteristics of this heater. So, the majority note the high resistance of the material to temperature fluctuations. He will be able to withstand temperatures from -50 to + 100ºС. And also some people notice the considerable density of the product, which is 35–40 kg / m³. Often, experts emit special thermal insulation characteristics of the product, since it has a low thermal conductivity coefficient (0.036 W / mK). In addition, the material has good sound insulation performance.

Insulation Isocom prevents all unnecessary sounds, but at the same time the minimum thickness and dynamic rigidity of the insulation remain unchanged. The noise absorption index of this element is not less than 30 dB. It is made of absolutely eco-friendly materials.making it safe for humans and their health. After all, the polymeric raw materials that form the basis of these products are completely free of harmful, toxic substances.

The dimensions of such insulation can vary considerably. The smallest rolls are 10x150 mm. They are usually used for small areas or for substrates. But at the same time, with some models, the length and width can be much larger. Thus, many products are produced in the size of 1200х30000 mm, 600х15 m, 600х30000 mm. They are used for insulation of buildings with a considerable scale. It should be noted that the thickness of the Isocom insulation can also vary greatly. As a rule, for PPI-P models, it is 2 mm; for PPI-PL samples, it can reach 15–20 mm, and the thickness of the remaining products ranges from 3 to 10 mm.

Isocom heaters are used in many construction processes. Often PPI-OT is used for pipes. According to many experts, this material is best suited for the treatment of such structures, because it perfectly protects them from temperature extremes.Often Isocom insulation is used to install the "warm floor" system. As a rule, the model PPI-PL is taken for it. It allows to significantly reduce heat loss from the heating elements. In addition, this sample is not destroyed when interacting with cement mortar, which is important when laying such floor coverings.

To isolate window and door openings, the PPI-ZhS model is often used. It provides excellent tightness in these areas. Products of other samples can be used in various fields of construction. So, quite often Isocom material is taken for standard thermal insulation and sound insulation of residential premises, air ducts in air conditioning and ventilation systems. Model insulation Isocom EvroMat most often used in the construction of foundations, basements, pitched and flat roofs.

According to most experts, laying Isocom insulation is quite easy and does not require much effort.In addition, in one set with these products you can find detailed instructions for use. But at the same time you need to adhere to certain rules for laying such material, otherwise you can ruin the insulation:

• If the plans cover Isocom with a concrete base, then you need to remember that this can be done only when the cement has not yet stiffened. It is best to do this at the moment when the mass has just been flooded. Only such protection will be able to counteract the harmful effects of water, temperature, precipitation.
• If there is a desire to use this material as a substrate under the flooring, then you should take the most delicate product and stretch it so that all the sheets evenly joined. And only then it is necessary to install the floor itself. In this case, Isocom can completely soundproof and insulate this coating.
• For thermal insulation of standard living spaces, it is worth only stretching the rolls over the entire surface area and covering it with a finishing decorative material. In this case, be sure to ensure that the last application lay flat.Otherwise, later it is necessary to disassemble the structure and lay the insulation correctly.
