<1, January 2010> HiTHERM Expands Nationwide with Full Product Line
Beginning in January of 2010, HiTHERM is offering it's full product line nationwide through a wide range of fabricators. HiTHERM has had a presence with it's HT-450® on the east coast for industrial/chemical applications and is now offering our HT-300® closed cell polyisocyanurate (PIR) for use in commercial, institutional, pharmaceutical and industrial applications. HiTHERM's HT-300 offers performance characteristics above and beyond other leading brand polyiso products, the most substantial being the flame and smoke ratings of the 2# density foam. Here is a quick snapshot of the main thermal and performance properties of the HT-300 polyiso.
 
  • k-factor: 0.165 BTU-in/hr-ft2-°F @ 75°F
  • ASTM E84 Flame/Smoke Yields: 25/50 or less up to and including 2.5" thick.
  • Compressive Strength: 30psi
  • Water Absorption: <2% by volume
  • Vapor Permeability: 4 perm-in
Contact your favorite fabricator to see about purchasing our product for your next project. If they do not currently carry our product, contact your local HiTHERM representative for more information and how to obtain our products.


<1, January 2010> HT-300 Burns the Competition with its Flame/Smoke Test Results
There have been many changes within the polyisocyanurate insulation industry lately when it comes to flame spread and smoke development testing per ASTM E84 and other test methods. HiTHERM, however, has set and continues to raise the bar in performance values of polyisocyanurate insulations. In addition to many composition of matter/end-use patents, HiTHERM's HT-300® 2lb. nominal density closed-cellular rigid polyisocyanurate foam is the only PIR that yields 25/50 flame spread/smoke developed or less up to and including 2.5" thick when tested in accordance with ASTM E84*! HiTHERM has achieved what the bigger polyiso manufacturers can only dream of achieving. Some leading polyisocyanurate manufacturers are no longer "supporting" their previous claims of 25/50 flame/smoke at 1" thick and others cannot achieve it, but HiTHERM has remained steadfast and continues to improve upon an already industry leading product. Contact your local fabricator or a HiTHERM representative for more information about our products.

<1, January 2010> HT-450 Cools the Competition
Once again, HiTHERM is setting the standard for performance of PIR products. HiTHERM has developed an industry leading and unique polyiso that can maintain its performance and physical properties up to +400°F continuous and +450°F intermittently for short periods of time. HT-450® is covered by composition of matter/end-use patents and there is no other polyiso on the market that can achieve and prove the performance values that HiTHERM's HT-450 product has maintained for years. Here are some key properties:
 
  • k-factor: 0.18 BTU-in/hr-ft2-°F @ 140°F
  • Operating Temp.: -100°F to +400°F
  • Density: 2.5lb.
  • Compressive Strength: 30psi
This expanded temperature range allows for continued use of a closed cellular insulation without having to drastically increase costs by using a less thermal efficient and fragile insulation such as cellular glass or downgrading to an open cell insulation that limits your efficiency and system longevity. For more information on HT-450, contact a HiTHERM representative or your local West Coast fabricator. For interested parties on the East Coast and parts of the Midwest, contact Extol of Ohio, Inc.
