In a concrete insulating blanket, it’s the core that counts.
For concrete blankets, the core is critical to the curing process. Microfoam is a superior thermal insulator with outstanding physical and chemical-resisting characteristics. It offers the best combination of properties for core material used in concrete blankets.
1. Insulating Value: The thermal conductivity of Microfoam expressed as "K" value is the best of all concrete insulating blanket materials. Test results prove that Microfoam has significantly better insulating values ("R" factor) than polyethylene foam and bubble products.
2. Moisture Resistance: Closed-cell Microfoam polypropylene foam concrete blankets won’t absorb moisture. Other fillers can become waterlogged and lose insulating value.
3. Ease of Handling: The low density of Microfoam creates an extremely lightweight insulating concrete blanket. Microfoam material weighs less than most competing materials — a big bonus for those who lay down and take up concrete blankets.
4. Flexibility: The right stiffness combined with the right flexibility make Microfoam concrete blankets easy to fold and handle. An insulating concrete blanket of Microfoam material conforms closely to poured concrete surfaces, providing even better insulation.
5. Re-Usability: The toughness of Microfoam material combined with its closed-cell construction means an insulating concrete blanket with a long life even with repeated use. The semi-rigid core of these concrete blankets will not slip down inside the cover when held or when applied to vertical surfaces.
