PlastiSpan® insulation board is ideal for use in wall and roof assemblies
used to enclose cold storage space for cooling and/or storing
food, flowers, and other commodities at temperatures ranging
from normal room temperature 20ºC (68ºF) down to cryogenic
temperatures -100ºC (-148ºF). As the surface temperature
decreases, the quality of construction and care required becomes
more critical.
PlastiSpan insulation is well suited
for use as insulation of cold storage space because of its
excellent thermal resistance, dimensional stability, chemical
inertness and durability. As well, it is a plastic foam insulation
with a closed cellular structure that provides low water vapour
permeance and water absorption characteristics.
PlastiSpan insulation board is only one
component in the construction. All components of construction
as well as the mechanical equipment for cooling and/or humidifying
must act together to achieve a system that will enclose space
and hold it at the desired temperature for extended periods
of time without any deterioration. For instance, it is recommended
that any lumber incorporated into cold storage construction
be pressure treated with wood preservative.
