Gaia-Insulate
The innovated environmentally friendly foam
- Halogen/PVC free compound
- Phthalate ester plasticizer free compound
- Pass CE2005/69/EC PAHS (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons)
- Pass RoHS
- Latex Free
Material features:
- Low apparent density.
- Free of CFC ozone depleting materials.
- Easy to clean and maintain. Resistant to most chemicals, petroleum products and humidity. Will not rot.
- Highly stable structure built on cold-resistant and heat-resistant properties.
- Recyclable.
Application: Great for cushioning material and for thermal insulation in the apparel, automotive, air conditioning and construction industries. The fire resistant properties of Gaia-Insulate make it particularly well suited for use in the electronics industry.
