About Supreme SIL vapour barrier
'DURA vapour barrier' is a high performance water vapour barrier material. It is a cost effective alternative to conventional products like LDPE films etc. It is composed of thousands of tiny air cells trapped in foam and reinforced with high performance polymeric interlay, which helps reduce the overall permeance. It offers four layers of vapour barrier transmission including two layers of special polymeric interlay.
Features:
- Closed cell hence negligible water/ water vapour absorption
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Rot proof & bacteria resistant
- Flexible
- Ease of use
Applications:
- Bond breaker, separation membrane in building foundations, concrete roads, pavements etc.
Exceptional Vapour & Moisture ResistanceSupreme SIL Vapour Barrier excels in preventing moisture ingress and condensation, thanks to its low water vapour transmission rate of 0.02 perms and a closed cell structure that delivers outstanding moisture resistance. This makes it ideal for high-humidity environments or anywhere reliable condensation protection is essential.
Fire Safety and DurabilityMeeting Class 1 fire safety requirements (BS 476 Part 7), this barrier provides enhanced protection in case of fire. Its robust cross-linked polyethylene foam construction and aluminium foil lamination contribute to long-term endurance, with a service life exceeding 20 years under standard conditions.
Eco-Friendly and Versatile InsulationFree from harmful CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs, this product provides an environmentally responsible insulation solution. Its flexibility and range of thicknesses (2-10 mm) make it suitable for multiple building applications, from HVAC systems to cold storage, and more.
FAQ's of Supreme SIL vapour barrier:
Q: How is Supreme SIL Vapour Barrier installed?
A: To install Supreme SIL Vapour Barrier, lay the sheets over the insulation surface, ensuring that all joints are tightly sealed with aluminium tape and that edges are overlapped. This process provides an effective seal against vapour and moisture.
Q: What applications are suitable for Supreme SIL Vapour Barrier?
A: This vapour barrier is ideal for HVAC ducts, under deck insulation, cold storage, wall insulation, and roof insulation. Its flexibility and robust protection make it suitable for both residential and industrial environments.
Q: When should I choose Supreme SIL over other vapour barriers?
A: Select Supreme SIL Vapour Barrier when you require superior moisture resistance (0.02 perms), Class 1 fire safety, eco-friendly composition, and long-term durability-particularly in environments prone to condensation or extreme temperatures.
Q: Where can Supreme SIL Vapour Barrier provide the most benefit?
A: The vapour barrier offers the greatest benefit in areas requiring robust moisture and condensation control, such as cold storage rooms, HVAC ductwork, and building envelopes exposed to varying temperatures or humidity.
Q: What are the key benefits of using Supreme SIL Vapour Barrier?
A: Key benefits include excellent water vapour resistance, flame retardancy, sound absorption, corrosion protection, odourless material, easy installation, lightweight design, and a lifespan exceeding 20 years.
Q: How does its closed cell structure contribute to performance?
A: The closed cell structure enhances moisture resistance, minimizes water absorption (1% by volume after 24 hours), and improves insulation effectiveness, ensuring superior durability and thermal performance.
Q: Is Supreme SIL suitable for environments with high voltage or extreme temperatures?
A: Yes, it is rated up to 11 kV and can withstand temperatures between -40C and +80C, making it highly suitable for demanding electrical and thermal environments.
