system. Unlike conventional direct coated adhesives, our system ensures that the
adhesive provides 100% coverage on the duct surface and on the foam insulation.
SPC011_Thermobreak 8pp_concept_FA.indd 4 28/
This feature also provides the additional benefit of repositionability, an essential
requirement during installation. The insulation can be lifted off the duct numerous
times during alignment without tearing the insulation.
In keeping with current green building trends and demands such as indoor air
quality, our adhesive system is low VOC (Green Star) compliant and offers credit
points for building ratings systems such as LEED and Estidama.
