Product Description

Thermax Light Duty NH consists of a glass-fiber-reinforced polyisocyanurate foam core faced with nominal 1.25 mil embossed white thermoset-coated aluminum on one side and 1.25 mil embossed aluminum on the other. The tough 1.25 mil white embossed aluminum surface makes it a durable insulation/finish choice for use in moderate-impact areas, and it can be pressure-washed up to 1,000 psi with a 15-degree or greater spray tip (at 3’ minimum distance). Thermax™ Light Duty NH meets the USDA requirements for “Incidental Food Contact Materials” when used as surfaces not in direct contact with food, such as floors, walls, ceilings etc.

Thermax Light Duty NH also offers high, long-term thermal resistance, with facers that help prevent water and water vapor intrusion into the insulation foam allowing it to stabilize at a higher R-value(2). Used in conjunction with the appropriate joint closure system for the application, Thermax Light Duty NH – with its low perm rating – can help to reduce moisture condensation within and behind the insulation.

Ease of Installation
Thermax Light Duty NH:

• Installs quickly to walls and ceilings – inside and outside of purlins, trusses or bar joints
• Can be installed exposed to the interior without a thermal barrier
• Helps reduce the potential for condensation within the wall assembly
• Lightweight and easy to handle – can be sawed or cut with a knife, small hand saw or circular saw

Sustainable Solutions

• Thermax Light Duty NH is manufactured with a zero ozone- depleting potential. The use of Thermax Light Duty NH helps reduce the carbon footprint of commercial buildings.
• Thermax Light Duty NH uses halogen-free flame retardants and is manufactured with zero ozone-depleting potential.
