IMAX

Phenolic Foam Insulation

IMAX is a rigid insulation board composed of a very low thermal-conductivity phenolic foam core with a reflective foil facing on the outside and a woven mesh layer on the inside. Tested for fire compliance in accordance with AS 1530.3 and AS 5637 for concealed and exposed applications, IMAX phenolic foam insulation provides superior fire safety and higher R-values from less thickness, resulting in better building performance, thinner wall build-ups and increased floor area. IMAX phenolic foam insulation is widely used in cavity-walls and under-slab soffit applications where it delivers exceptional thermal performance.  

Group 2 Fire Rating

When tested as per AS 5637 and NCC 2022 requirements, IMAX phenolic foam insulation achieves a Group 2 fire rating for compliant use in exposed applications such as under-slab cap park soffits.

Excellent Fire Safety

Along with a Group 2 rating, IMAX phenolic foam insulation exceeds the minimum smoke requirements of NCC 2022, Specification S7C4 by over 250 times, demonstrating excellent fire safety.

100% Fibre-free

Unlike some other insulation products, IMAX phenolic foam insulation is 100% fibre-free meaning more comfortable working conditions, cleaner air onsite and long-term health benefits.

Thinner is Smarter

Because phenolic foam is one of the lowest thermal conductivity insulation materials available, required R-values can be achieved with less thickness meaning thinner walls and more floor area.

Construction Efficiencies

With a light-weight density of <50kg/m3 and large 2400 x 1200mm boards, IMAX phenolic foam insulation provides outstanding efficiency during transporting, handling onsite and installation.

Environmental Leader

Not only does IMAX reduce energy consumption in the building through-out its life, it also creates much greater insulating outcomes using less raw materials for environmental sustainability.

Clear Cavity & Extra R-value

When IMAX is used in a wall cavity, a clear gap is maintained for services such as electricity and the low-emittance foil facer can also contribute additional R-value when facing towards the cavity.

Best Value Proposition

As with all BLUECHIP's product range, our manufacture-to-industry direct supply chain (with no middle man) means that IMAX phenolic foam insulation provides the best possible value proposition.

*Does your project require Non-combustible materials?

If your project is required to be type A or B construction then all cladding, framing & insulation is required to be non-combustible. All the below cladding products are deemed-to-satisfy non-combustible in accordance with NCC 2022, Clause C2D10 (Previously NCC 2019, Clause C1.9) and can be used anywhere a non-combustible material is required;
