PHENOLIC INSULATION vs PIR INSULATION

 

Phenolic insulation and polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation are both types of rigid foam insulation. The main difference between the two is their thermal conductivity values. Phenolic insulation has a lower thermal conductivity value than PIR insulation, which means it offers better insulation performance.

To provide an example of thermal conductivity values, a 100mm thick phenolic insulation board typically has a thermal conductivity value of around 0.018 W/mK, while a 100mm thick PIR insulation board typically has a thermal conductivity value of around 0.022 W/mK.

The savings and return on investment from using phenolic insulation versus PIR insulation will depend on various factors, such as the specific building design, location, and energy costs. However, generally speaking, phenolic insulation can provide greater energy efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs due to its superior insulation performance. While the initial cost of phenolic insulation may be higher than PIR insulation, the long-term savings on energy bills can provide a significant return on investment over time.

PHENOLIC INSULATION PROBLEMS

Phenolic insulation is generally considered to be a safe and reliable insulation material. However, there have been some concerns raised about the use of phenolic insulation in high-temperature applications, where it may release toxic gases. 
It is important to use phenolic insulation in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and to consult with a professional if you have any concerns.

There have been some cases where phenolic insulation has been incorrectly installed or used inappropriately, leading to issues such as moisture penetration or reduced insulation performance. It is important to ensure that phenolic insulation is installed correctly and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, and to monitor its performance over time to ensure that it continues to provide effective insulation.

There have been some reported cases of metal buildings experiencing corrosion and rusting issues after the installation of phenolic insulation. This is because some types of phenolic insulation contain acids that can cause corrosion of certain metals, particularly in humid or moist conditions.

In one example from the UK, a metal building that had been insulated with phenolic insulation was found to have extensive rust and corrosion issues within just a few years of installation. The metal cladding and roof panels had deteriorated significantly, leading to leaks and other structural problems. The building owner was forced to undertake extensive repairs and replacement work to address the issue.

To prevent these types of problems, it is important to choose phenolic insulation products that are specifically designed for use with metal buildings, and to ensure that the insulation is installed correctly and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Regular inspections and maintenance can also help to identify and address any potential corrosion issues before they become major problems.

 

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, choosing the right Kingspan insulation board for construction requires careful consideration of a number of factors, including the type of application, the required thermal performance, and the available budget. It is important to select the right thickness and type of insulation for the specific application, and to ensure that it is installed correctly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. While there are some concerns regarding the use of phenolic insulation in high-temperature applications, Kingspan's range of insulated panel systems offer excellent thermal performance, durability, and ease of installation, making them a popular choice for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and residential building projects.
