SEKISUI TECHNOLOGY
Setting the Standard in Polyolefin Insulation
Thermobreak® is the leading and most innovative polyolefin foam thermal insulation available to the HVAC
and Building industry worldwide. Thermobreak’s® performance is unsurpassed.
Developed in Australia over 30 years ago, Thermobreak® is manufactured using our proprietary physically
crosslinked closed cell polyolefin foam technology, invented and commercialised by the Sekisui Chemical
group in Japan. Thermobreak® is widely recognised as the global leader in polyolefin insulation.
Thermobreak® insulation is manufactured to ASTM C1427 Standard.

Engineered to Perform
Market leading performance
Thermobreak® SolarBlock uses Sekisui’s unique physically crosslinked closed cell polyolefin foam sandwiched between two layers of
reinforced highly reflective aluminum foil. The final result is a pliable thermal insulation with a low emissivity foil facing that reflects radiant
heat and performs year round in all climates.
Our unique physically crosslinked technology results in a smaller and more evenly distributed cell structure. Cell structure directly affects
thermal conductivity and vapour permeability. Both are key factors in insulation performance.
Thermobreak’s® thermal performance remains relatively unchanged over a 10 year period.

Engineered to Last
Thermobreak® SolarBlock is supplied with factory applied reinforced aluminium foil facing on both sides for maximum heat reflection
in roofing applications. Our materials are of the highest quality ensuring longevity and continuous energy savings.
• Thicker, reinforced aluminium foil vapour barrier provides additional physical protection to the insulation and at the same time
reduces heat flow thus providing additional energy savings.
• Closed cell structure with almost zero water absorption.
• 15 year manufacturer warranty.
• Resistant to mould and fungal growth.
• Resistant to elevated temperatures and humidity.

Environmental Benefits
Building Sustainability, Indoor Air Quality and Health & Safety,
are all key elements embodied in the Green Building concept.
Thermobreak® insulation is manufactured to support and comply with such initiatives and enables credit point accumulation through
various building accreditation systems such as LEED and Estidama.
• Low VOC (GBCA Green Star, GBCS 3 Ticks) • Low GWP • Compliance to RoHS Directive
• No CFCs or HCFCs • Fibre free • Compliance to REACH Directive
• Zero Ozone Depletion Potential • Zero PVC, Zero Formaldehyde • Resistance to Mould Growth
