Eagle Shield Industries
Polyisocyanurate
Typically R-5.6 (RSI-0.99)[24] or slightly better after stabilization - higher values (at least R-7, or RSI-1.23) in stabilized boards.[25] Less flammable than polyurethane.
Phenolic injection foam
Such as Tripolymer R-5.1 per inch (ASTM-C-177). Known for its air sealing abilities. Tripolymer can be installed in wall cavities that have fiberglass and cellulose in them. Non-hazardous. Not restricted by depth of application. Fire resistant – flame spread 5, smoke spread 0 (ASTM-E-84) - will not smoke at all upon direct contact with flame and is a two-hour firewall at a 3.5 in (89 mm), or normal 2 × 4 in (51 × 100 mm) stud wall, application per ASTM E-199. Great for sound deadening, STC 53 (ASTM E413-73; does not echo like other foams. Environmentally friendly. Non-expansive (good for existing homes where interior sheathing is in place). Fully sustainable: Consists of phenolic, a foaming agent, and air. Blown with air (no CFCs, HCFCs or other harmful blowing agents). Nontoxic, even during application. Does not shrink or settle. Zero VOC emission. Chemically inert (no known symptoms of exposure per MSDS). Insect resistant. Mold Proof. Insoluble in water. Disadvantages: Like all foams, it is more expensive than conventional fiber insulations when only comparing sq ft pricing. When you compare price to R value per sq ft the price is about the same.
Eagle Shield Reflective Insulation - Roofs and Attics
Radiant solar energy strikes the roof, heating the shingles, felt paper and roof sheathing by conduction, and causing the underside of the sheathing and the roof framing to radiate heat downward through the attic toward the attic floor. When a radiant barrier is placed between the roofing material and the insulation on the attic floor, much of the heat radiated from the hot roof is reflected back toward the roof and the low emissivity of the underside of the radiant barrier means very little radiant heat is emitted downwards. This makes the top surface of the insulation cooler than it would have been without a radiant barrier and thus reduces the amount of heat that moves through the insulation into the rooms below the ceiling.
Eagle Shield Insulation terms and definitions:
Insulate
To cover with a material of low conductivity in order to reduce the passage or leakage of heat, reduce the surface temperature, or reduce the noise emanating from the object.
Ventilating Duct
Duct supplying or removing air by natural or mechanical means.
Eagle Shield Inc
Emulsion
Insoluble fine solids or liquids dispersed in another liquid, usually water.
Glass Cloth
Closed-weave glass fiber used as a finish jacket.
