PIR
Applications
Fire rated PIR wall and ceiling panels can be used in all hygienic cold, chill and ambient environments. The panel provides a particularly effective solution in cold environments, where internal temperatures are between 0°C and -40°C, and where fire resistance, excellent thermal insulation and hygiene are essential.
Core
PIR is amongst the most efficient insulating materials available.
Its low-density rigid foam exhibits superior thermal stability and lower combustibility when compared to polyurethane foams. PIR insulation
products have excellent thermal conductivity, do not support the growth of fungi, are resistant to moisture ingress and are CFC and H (CFC) free.
The core is non-deleterious (no airborne fibres) which is particularly effective
in high specification food installations.
Fire Performance
PIR cores provide Fire Resistance of up to 1 hour. When exposed to flame
PIR forms a strong carbonaceous char that protects the core foam from ignition. PIR is recognised industry wide as the fire safe alternative to other foam cores including polyurethane and polystyrene.

Facing
Panels are finished with steel facings with a wide range of coatings available including Foodsafe laminate / polyester, PVF2 and HPS200.
Jointing
The panels have high performance male / female interlocking metal facings to provide a secure and consistent joint detail. The interlocking joint, sealed with silicone, encapsulates the core ensuring total parity and a continuous anti-bacterial barrier.
