 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PRODUCT FUNCTION
Sisalation® FR430 when used in conjunction with an airspace
is a highly effective thermal insulating membrane due to
- Aluminium Foil the high reflectivity and low emissive properties of the
aluminium foil surfaces. (Visit the Sisalation® website for

- Kraft
This combination makes Sisalation® an excellent barrier to
- Reinforcing Scrim heat flow via radiation.

- FR Binder When installed in industrial buildings as an exposed roof

lining, the reflectivity of the foil will enhance the lighting of

PRODUCT COMPLIANCE
Sisalation® FR430 has been specifically reformulated
to fully comply with the specified National Building
Legislation SANS 10400 which regulates the fire
retardant properties of insulation products. This standard
incorporates all the factors pertaining to fire-hazard or
fire-risk assessment of the materials or assemblies under
actual fire conditions.
FIRE TESTING
Sisalation® FR430 is fully compliant with SANS 428 and
ASTM E84 and is tested in accordance with the SANS
10177 protocol. It will satisfy most insurance underwriters.
