structural insulated panel (SIP) technical information

applications

The Kingspan TEK Building System consists of structural insulated roof and wall panels, which can be used to create buildings with a maximum of 2 storeys plus a room-in-roof construction. Because of their light weight of 25kg/m² they are ideal for use, where heavy constructions are not possible.

structural insulated panel dimensions

Thickness: 142 mm (2 x 16 mm OSB 3 +110 mm rigid urethane insulation)
Width: 200 mm (min) - 1245 mm (max)
Length: 7450 mm (max) – for walls a maximum 3m storey height is allowed.

thermal performance

The thermal conductivity of the OSB 3 is 0.14 W/mK. That of the rigid urethane insulation core is 0.027 W/mK.

resistance to solvents, fungi & rodents

The insulation core is resistant to dilute acids, alkalis, mineral oil and petrol. It is not resistant to some solvent-based adhesive systems, particularly those containing methyl ethyl ketone. Adhesives containing such solvents should not be used in association with Kingspan TEK Building System. Kingspan TEK Building System components which have been in contact with harsh solvents, petrol, mineral oil or acids, or components that have been damaged in any way should not be used.

The Insulation core and facings used in the manufacture of Kingspan TEK Structural Insulated Panels resist attack by mould and microbial growth and do not provide any food value to vermin.

fire performance

When lined internally with 12.5 mm plasterboard the Kingspan TEK Building System will achieve Class O to the Building Regulations.
