The Barrier: Concrete and Radiant Floor Insulation The Barrier is an under the concrete or sub floor insulator/vapor barrier made with 3/8" extruded polystyrene and heavy duty 3 mil black polyethylene film laminated to both sides. Rolls are 4' wide x 60' long (240 square feet) x 3/8" thick. One edge on each side of the film has a 1" overlap running the length of the material with an aggressive double faced adhesive on the side opposite of the overlap. This allows rolls to be "butted" up to the next roll width, peel back the tape, compress - and you have a seamless closure that will not allow the transfer of heat migration and will completely eliminate all forms (100%) of moisture. The Barrier has a K-Value of .019 and an equivalent R-Value of 11.7. Comparison R-Values are given in accord with the Federal Trade Commission, Code of Federal Regulations - 16 CFR 460.18d (this allows comparison of one type of insulation to another). The reason that The Barrier has a comparative R-Value of 11.7 is that often the comparison is to a rigid board product of a much thicker material like an EPS (expanded polystyrene-blown) or other types of foams like blue or pink boards. Most of these foam products will provide an R-Value of 4 to 5 per inch of thickness when utilized above grade in walls and ceiling applications where they have an adjacent air space. Since few or none of these products have been tested for below grade application they do not emphasize K-Value, which as we know from physics is the actual thermal conductivity of the material. So, why 11.7 and not some other number? The most common product that The Barrier replaces is another foam of about 2-1/2" thickness (so if you are very conservative you would take the lowest R-Value applicable to these products - since you do not know which foam and in what density that you are replacing and you would multiply the lowest number (R-4 to 5 per inch of thickness) x (2.5") = R 10 -12 performance or comparative value. K-Value of .019 (thermal conductivity) resists 99.981% of the heat and cold transfer that occurs in an anaerobic (- no air so therefore no convection of energy around the foam), (K-Value is the thermal conductivity through the media - in this case extruded foam) sub floor, wall or underground insulation application. The Barrier is equivalent to 2+" of blue board and you can walk on it! Unlike blown polystyrene, extruded polystyrene is flexible and resilient to breaking even when rolled or walked on. The Barrier is also the finest Radiant Floor and sub floor insulator in the world, radiant tubing can be taped to it and quick set poured over the top in a concrete application! APPLICATIONS: The applications for The Barrier Insulation are many and varied. However, The Barrier Insulation was specifically engineered for under the concrete applications as a vapor, moisture and thermal barrier to conduction.

Other applications include horizontal vapor barrier, frost break under the soil in a 4' width around the foundation, all concrete form vapor barrier applications including driveway, highway, bridging anchor, utilities, HVAC, Plumbing, Hot Tub, Pool, Spa, Steam Room, vertical interior wall in a retro fit application, under crawl spaces, hot wall entry and exit areas, cool deck & stone paths - prevents mineralization and many more uses The Barrier Insulation: Technical Data The Barrier Test Data Sheet PATENT NO. 6,006,481 Test Methods: The industry standard Thermal Conductivity and Resistance test method using ASTM Standard C-518 – “Standard Test Method for Steady-State Heat Flux Measurements and Thermal Transmission Properties by Means of the Heat Flow Meter Apparatus” was used for testing. Thermal Conductivity and Resistance Values Test Type K- Value BTU/hr ft Dig’s Insulation from Conduction ASTM C-518 0.019 = 99.981% The industry standard Water Permeability Test Method (ICBO Sections 4.6.1 & 4.6.2) and Water Vapor Permeability Test Method (Procedure B of ASTM E96 were used for moisture transfer testing. Water Permeability Transfer and Water Vapor Permeability Transfer Values Permeance (grains/hr ft x 2 in. Hg) Permeability (grains/hr ft x 2 in. Hg) 0.000 0.000 Additional Comments by testing facility: “This product meets or exceeds the ICBO conditions for acceptance. At the end of 24 hours, there was NO indication that any water had dripped from the underside of the specimens. In fact a 3.5” head of water (rather then the required 2.0” head for 24 hours) was employed, with the same results after a period of 96 hours”. All testing has been performed by an independent laboratory GEOSCIENCES LTD. – Laboratory Testing Division. Note: These typical property values are intended as guidelines only, and not as specification limits. Test Data on .300 thicknesses, current thickness .375, Performance R-Value 11.7. Please note that this R-Value is an estimate for Comparison of performance only and is not part of the testing done by Geosciences Laboratory. These tests are for K-Value only and are intended for use in a conduction application in the absence of air. ___________________________________________________________________________ GEOSCIENCE LABORATORY ACCREDITATIONS Geoscience's Thermal Property Testing Laboratory has received accreditation, certification, approval or acceptance from the following agencies: California Energy Commission (CEC) and the Bureau of Home Furnishings.
