Health

Products are manufactured with the benign polymer polyethylene without the use of formaldehyde (as some fibreglass and rockwool products are). As such, the products are able to provide energy efficiency without creating human health risks associated with airborne fibres or VOC emissions. The antiglare coating contains a very small percentage (1/1000 of a gram per m²) of chemicals which in its raw form prior to manufacture is hazardous. However, after the ink is applied the product passes through a lamination process at approx 250°C which disperses this solvent, therefore there is no further odour or off-gassing once manufactured. OH&S safety precautions should be taken during manufacture process to eliminate the risk.

Comfort

R-Values indicate that this system will reduce solar heat gain, particularly radiant gain, while also provides conductional resistance through the multi-layer polymer closed air cell structure. The thermal benefits achieved by these products result in a reduction in radiated heat transfer and in the demand for air conditioning. This will potentially lead to improving individual thermal comfort levels, promoting a healthy indoor environment.

Indoor Environment Quality

Finished products do not emit VOCs, improving indoor air quality.

Electromagnetic

Radiation Not applicable.

Safety

Products are a fibre-free, non-allergenic and non-itchy insulation system, eliminating health or occupational health and safety risks to the occupants
or installers.

Accessibility

Not applicable.
