Hunter Xci 286 Polyiso Rigid Insulation Panel 4ft x 8ft - All Sizes

Xci 286 is an energy-efficient rigid foam insulation composed of a polyisocyanurate foam core manufactured online to glass fiber reinforced foil facers. It can be used in new construction, or used for interior retrofit within existing buildings. Xci 286 is designed for exposed interior wall or ceiling use in commercial, residential, industrial, agricultural and metal building applications.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Polyiso offers increased R-Value per inch vs Mineral Fiber, XPS or EPS options
  
• Passed NFPA 286 Corner Burn Test for walls or ceilings only, with or without joint treatment, allowing the product to be left exposed on interior application without a thermal barrier up to 3.5" thick
• Passed UL 1715 with up to 8" for ceilings only
• Flame spread of 25 per ASTM E 84
• Manufactured with NexGen Chemistry: Zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP); Contains no CFC’s or HCFC’s; Virtually zero Global Warming Potential (GWP). The use of Xci products helps reduce the carbon footprint of buildings.
• Both sides reinforced foil, one side reflective, one side white, either side
• Hunter may be left exposed to the interior.
• R-Value: 6.3, 9.5, 12.6, 15.8, 18.9

Pros:

• High R-value: Polyiso rigid insulation is known for its high R-value, which means it provides excellent thermal resistance and can help keep energy costs down.
• Lightweight: Polyiso rigid insulation is also lightweight, which makes it easier to handle and install than some other types of insulation.
• Moisture resistance: Polyiso rigid insulation has good resistance to moisture, which can help prevent mold and mildew growth and prolong the life of the insulation and the building.
• Easy to cut and shape: Polyiso rigid insulation can be easily cut and shaped to fit around pipes, corners, and other obstacles, which can help ensure a tight, continuous insulation barrier.

Cons:

• More difficult to find: Polyiso rigid insulation may not be as widely available as some other types of insulation, which can make it harder to source for some building projects.
