The different types,\nclasses, and grades of polyiso insulation board are defined by the\nclassification system in ASTM C1289 \u201cStandard Specification for Faced Rigid\nCellular Polyisocyanurate Thermal Insulation Board\u201d and may be classified by\nthe type of facer or facing material used to manufacture the products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyiso is a thermoset, closed-cell, rigid foam plastic insulation that is\nmanufactured in board form (typically 4-foot-by-4-foot or 4-foot-by-8-foot\nsizes). Through a continuous lamination process, liquid raw materials that make\nup the foam formulation are mixed and in a rapid chemical reaction form a rigid\nand thermally stable polymeric structure. During manufacture, the facers or\nfacing materials enable the manufacturing process by containing the viscous\nfoam mixture as it is poured and cured into the rigid polyiso core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After manufacture, facers or facing materials perform a\nnumber of key functions for the installation and use of polyiso products. At\nthe jobsite, the specific type of facer or facing material can determine\nthe insulation product\u2019s compatibility with various substrates, which is an\nimportant consideration where installed as part of an adhered roof system. Once\ninstalled in a roof system, the facer or facing material can influence water\nabsorption and water vapor transmission, which can be important characteristics\nin building envelope applications. In wall applications, polyiso may be used as\na drainage plane to shed bulk water and with taped joints between adjacent\nboards can form both effective water resistive barrier and air barrier\ncomponent. Facer or facing materials can positively contribute to the fire\nperformance of the product and assembly, reduce air movement through the\nsystem, or provide for radiative properties. Finally, it should be noted that\nthe same facer material is typically used on both sides of the polyiso board;\nhowever, different facer types may be used to meet specific project design and\nperformance needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Facer Types<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The three most common types of polyiso facers are aluminum foil,\nglass fiber reinforced cellulosic felt, and coated polymer-bonded glass fiber\nmat. The ASTM C1289 Standard contains classifications and descriptions for each\nfacer type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Aluminum Foil Facer (FF)<\/strong> is composed of aluminum foil that may be plain, coated and\/or laminated to a supporting substrate.<\/li><li><strong>Glass Fiber Reinforced Cellulosic Felt Facer (GRF)<\/strong> is composed of a cellulosic fiber felt containing glass fibers.<\/li><li><strong> Coated Polymer-Bonded Glass Fiber Mat\u00a0Facer (CGF)<\/strong> is composed of a fibrous glass mat bonded with organic polymer binders and coated with organic polymer, clay, or other inorganic substances.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyiso products as shown in Table 1 may also be manufactured with\nother facer types or facing materials such as uncoated polymer-bonded glass\nfiber mat (AGF), perlite insulation board, cellulosic fiber insulation,\noriented strand board (OSB), plywood, and glass mat faced gypsum board.\nDepending on the particular project requirements, a certain facer type may\noffer specific benefits and the most attractive option for that application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Coated Polymer-Bonded Glass Fiber Mat Facer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Coated polymer-bonded glass fiber mat facer (coated glass facer or CGF) is used in polyiso insulation products installed as part the building enclosure, including roof insulation, high-density cover board, and wall insulation products. Coated glass facers consist of multi-layer construction and a coating to impart a versatile weather resistant outer layer. CGF facers offer dimensional stability and resistance to water absorption. The glass fibers in the mat provide tensile strength and moisture resistance characteristics, making the mats an ideal solution for other product applications that require high levels of performance link flooring products, underlayments, asphalt shingles, roof membranes, ceiling tile, and other construction products (i.e., glass reinforced panels and industrial applications). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14742\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/coated-glass-facers-bring-new-performance-advantages-to-polyiso-insulation\/screen-shot-2020-03-25-at-11-31-24-am\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-25-at-11.31.24-AM.png\" data-orig-size=\"1066,1148\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen-Shot-2020-03-25-at-11.31.24-AM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-25-at-11.31.24-AM-279x300.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-25-at-11.31.24-AM-951x1024.png\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-25-at-11.31.24-AM-951x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14742\" width=\"430\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-25-at-11.31.24-AM-951x1024.png 951w, https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-25-at-11.31.24-AM-279x300.png 279w, https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-25-at-11.31.24-AM-768x827.png 768w, https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-25-at-11.31.24-AM.png 1066w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The CGF Manufacturing Process<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For polyiso products, the CGF consists of a non-woven glass fiber\nmat as the substrate. The glass fibers that make up the mat are formed when\nminerals are batched together, melted in a large furnace, and extruded into\nstrands through fine orifices in bushing plates. The fibers are mechanically\ndrawn, cooled, and treated\nto impart the required handling and physical properties for the desired\nperformance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For non-woven applications, the fibers are chopped to the required\nlength and sent to the mat forming line. The non-woven glass fiber mats\n(typically produced by a wet laid process on an inclined wire former) are\nimpregnated with a synthetic water-based binder such as acrylic, urea formaldehyde,\nor renewable organic binders. The impregnated web is dried and cured in a\ndirect gas-heated belt dryer. To produce the final coated glass facer, the\nrolled mat is coated with a mineral-filled latex coating to seal the mat. The\ncoated mat is rewound and packaged according to individual product and customer\nspecifications. After inspection, the mats are slit and wound in-line on\ncardboard cores in a turret winder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rolls of CGF are delivered to polyiso manufacturers where they\nare loaded into laminators to become the top and\/or bottom facers of the\nfinished polyiso insulation boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CGF and Polyiso Performance Benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Coated glass facers do more than hold the polyiso together as it\ncures; they add certain performance characteristics that can enhance the\neffectiveness of the final polyiso product. CGF as a material is noted for\noffering the following benefits for polyiso insulation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Mold resistance<\/li><li>Enhanced fire performance<\/li><li>Excellent strength and durability<\/li><li>High moisture resistance<\/li><li>Excellent dimensional stability<\/li><li>Resistance to delamination <\/li><li>A reduction in knit line appearance<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since every type of polyiso product has its unique advantages and\nuses, choosing the right facer for the right application can have long-term\nimpacts on the entire system\u2019s performance and resilience. For example, some\nmoisture is always present in our environment. CGF can provide added resistance\nto moisture absorption for polyiso products and help improve the performance\nand durability of the overall roof system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyiso insulation products offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A high R-value per inch compared to other\ninsulation products. <\/li><li>A certified LTTR value (roofing products).<\/li><li>The performance to meet today\u2019s code required\nR-values while minimizing assembly thickness, and material and labor requirements.\n<\/li><li>Excellent performance in fire tests.<\/li><li>Ease of use and peace of mind, as polyiso\nproducts are designed for use in an expansive assortment of tested, approved,\nand code-compliant assemblies.<\/li><li>As a thermoset plastic, stability over a large\ntemperature range (-100\u00b0F to +250\u00b0F) and can be used as a component in roof\nsystems utilizing hot asphalt.<\/li><li>Versatility as a multi-attribute weather\nbarrier product. <\/li><li>A continuous insulation solution to minimize\nheat loss through thermal bridges. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, the combination of polyiso insulation and coated glass facers provide building owners and contractors with a solution that can meet thermal, moisture, and durability considerations. A wide variety of CGF polyiso products are available for specific applications in roofing or wall construction.
