Core
Self-extinguishing grade, expanded polystyrene is manufactured to AS 1366.3 - 1992. It provides unparalleled performance and cost-effective insulation value.
Adhesive
A structural 2 part thermosetting polyurethane adhesive is used to laminate the two outer skins to the polystyrene core.
Durability
Styrofoil panels have been successfully used in New Zealand for over 30 years without showing any signs of degradation. Subject to BHP NZ Steel's requirements for materials selection, design, installation and maintenance, these panels meet the 50-year durability requirements of the New Zealand Building Code.

Temperatures
The maximum recommended continuous operating temperature is 65'C. However, panels will be unaffected by temperatures of 70'C for short periods - such as hot water cleaning, etc.
Panel Thickness
Standard panel thicknesses are ... 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225 and 250mm with non-standard thickness' available subject to quantity considerations.

obtain more information.
Panel Length
The continuous production method permits an infinite range of panel lengths. Maximum length is only limited by handling and transportation considerations. Lengths of 16m are not uncommon and maximum lengths in excess of 26m have been transported throughout the North Island.

obtain more information.
Panel Width
Standard panel width for Styrolock™ is 1200mm and for Styroroof ™ 900mm.

Allowable spans are based on the following applied loads and the deflection criteria as set out in NZS 4203:1992
- Walls:
- Roof: -0.84 kPa max wind pressure - outward
- Ceiling: 0.25 kPa live load or 1KN point load
R-Values
The R Values have been calculated in accordance with NZS 4214 assuming a combined indoor and outdoor surface
coefficient of 0.13 and S Grade polystyrene with a thermal conductivity (K) of 0.041w/m°C at a mean temperature of 15°C.
