Rigid insulation panel with vapor barrier or vapor retarder
Supercel® Alumen is a rigid insulation panel made of expanded phenolic resin with closed cells, featuring a aluminum coating on one side and glass veil on the other. This configuration allows for an effective vapor barrier or vapor retarder to be integrated within the building envelope, maintaining high thermal performance and a good balance between protection and controlled breathability.
Applications for internal insulation and roofing
The panel is suitable for internal insulation, roofing, and building assemblies exposed to critical humidity conditions, where vapor flow management is a key design aspect. The glass veil side ensures excellent compatibility with finishes, while the aluminum coating contributes to protecting the building envelope and stability of the insulation system.
Balance between vapor control and application flexibility
Supercel® Alumen offers a balanced solution for designers needing vapor control without sacrificing application flexibility. The panel lends itself to various construction configurations, providing long-term reliability and performance consistency within the building envelope.
