Ageing in the B&C Environment
Spacelofts thermal insulation is derived from its nanoporous structure.
The performance is passive.
There are no blowing agent or vacuum requirements to deliver this performance.
This offers a constant design performance independent of time or within the realms
of the B&C domain temperature or humidity.

Fire Performance
Spaceloft* has received a E rating in the Euroclass fire test.
The rating is determined by the reinforcement fibre
(we rate A1 with PG 6681 (silica fibre) , B with PG 6350 (Carbon fibre)
-15-
Breathability & Hydrophobicity
An interesting combination.
Spacelofts unique chemistry offers both a hydrophobic performance
and in the same material an ability to breathe.
This allows for the design of both venting concepts and also installation where
water would be a problem to traditional insulation materials
