PRODUCT INNOVATIONS
in flat roof insulation Dow Building Solutions has launched XENERGY SL, a new generation extruded polystyrene (XPS) for insulation of inverted flat roofs. XENERGY XPS combines the proven features of STYROFOAM XPS - durability, reliability and strength – but has even better insulation performance thanks to the addition of infra-red blocking particles to scatter and reflect heat radiation within the foam board. Now, roof designers and contractors are the first to be offered XENERGY SL designed for inverted roof insulation, an extension to Dow’s already popular ROOFMATE SL-A product range. XENERGY SL, which comes in steel grey, is available in single extruded thicknesses of 100, 120, 140 and 160mm. 4mW thermal conductivity gains are possible at 140mm and 160mm thicknesses, an 11 percent improved insulation performance compared with ROOFMATE SL-A. XENERGY XPS is blown with CO2, giving it a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than five. Its launch comes hot on the heels of recent thermal conductivity gains across the entire STYROFOAM-A range. For more information email
