Thermafiber Rainbarrier Ci High Compressive Insulation
Thermafiber® RainBarrier ® ci High Compressive (80) continuous insulation boards are designed to support cladding attachment with minimal penetrations. The use of ThermaCrimp™ technology allows for excellent compressive strength while providing thermal efficiency, non-combustibility, water repellency, and flexibility when working with uneven substrates. RainBarrier ® ci High Compressive (80) can be used behind light weight cladding — including combustible and open-joint assemblies.
Features
- High compressive strength to support cladding attachment system with minimal penetration through continuous insulation
- More than 10% lighter in weight than the leading competitor’s product
- Vapor permeable
- Tolerant of substrate irregularities
- Non-combustible and non-deteriorating
- Fire resistant to temperatures above 2,000°F (1,093°C)
- Enhances acoustical performance
- Minimum 70% recycled content1
- Contributes to credits in several green building programs such as LEED ® and Green Globes ®
Standards, Codes Compliance
- ASTM C612, Mineral Fiber Block and Board Thermal Insulation, Types IA, IB, II, III, IVA, IVB
