Сòòò½APP’s thermal insulation materials testing delivers valuable insight into the thermal conductivity and other properties of fiber, foam, and expanded or extruded polystyrene, and provides assurance that they comply with the requirements of applicable material standards. 

When installed in a home, commercial or industrial building, thermal insulation materials minimize unwanted heat gain or loss, limit condensation, and protect building elements from the spread of fire. However, many factors can affect the performance of insulation materials and laboratory testing is important to ensure that they consistently provide the designed-for resistance to the passage of heat throughout the lifetime of the building.
