Description

Thermax XARMOR (ci) is also the only Thermaxâ„¢ insulation with a dark exterior facer optimized to go behind rain screen exteriors. Its integral, durable thermoset-coated aluminum facer provides a drainage plane, water-resistive barrier and exterior sheathing; eliminating the need for a membrane, building wrap or exterior gypsum. Boasting a strong 4.0 mil embossed, acrylic-coated exterior foil facer, Thermax XARMOR (ci) provides builders with more durability for long-term performance.With its low perm rating and high insulating value, Thermax XARMOR (ci) can help reduce the potential for condensation within the wall assembly. Thermax is also manufactured using a distinct free-rise technology using a unique fiberglass core for better product consistency, durability and fire performance than generic polyisocyanurate insulations.Ease of InstallationThermax XARMOR (ci):

• Eliminates the extra step of installing a membrane or building wrap when used with LiquidArmor and DuraGard CM.
• Is optimized to go behind rain screen exteriors
• Contains UV-stable technology – can remain uncovered up to six months
• Reduces the potential for condensation within the wall assembly
• Is lightweight – easy to cut, handle and install

High Performance DurabilityWith more than 30 years of exceptional performance, Thermaxâ„¢ Brand products feature a distinct free-rise technology for better product consistency, durability and fire performance than generic polyisocyanurate insulations.Available SizesSizes, R-values and edge treatment options for Thermax XARMOR (ci) can be found in Table 1 located in the TDS below. Contact your local sales representative for additional sizes.Sustainable SolutionsThermax XARMOR (ci) Exterior Insulation is manufactured with a zero ozone depleting potential blowing agent. The use of Thermaxâ„¢ brand insulation helps reduce the carbon footprint of commercial buildings.Thermax is compliant with California Department of Public Health (CDPH) VOC emissions requirements.Physical PropertiesProperty and Test Method                                                                   ValueThermal Resistance, ASTM C518, R-value                                             6.9Compressive Strength(2) , ASTM D1621, psi                                       25.0Flexural Strength, ASTM C203, psi                                                     40 min.Dimensional Stability, ASTM D2126                                                 0.2% maxWater Absorption, ASTM C209, % by volume, max.                             0.1Water Vapor Permeance, ASTM E96, perms                                       <0.01Maximum Use Temperature, °F                                                             250Surface Burning Characteristics(3), ASTM E84 forboth foam core and finished product                                                Class AFlame Spread                                                                                          25Smoke Developed                                                                                <450Applicable StandardsThermax XARMOR (ci) meets ASTM C1289 – Standard Specification for Faced Rigid Cellular Polyisocyanurate Thermal Insulation Board, Type I, Class 2.
