Applications of PIR Sandwich Panels:

  • All kinds of pre-fabricated steel buildings
  • Cold Stores
  • Food processing plants
  • Warehouses
  • Refrigerated and non-refrigerated vehicles
  • Partition walls
  • Fire-resistant rooms
  • Agricultural project storage halls
  • Fire chemical processing facilities
  • Packing and distribution centers
  • Exhibitions and shopping malls
  • Sports and fitness complexes
  • Stadiums
  • Prefabricated class rooms and office

Why PIR Sandwich Panels:

Insulating effect of FirSafe PIR Sandwich Panels is 49 times greater than concrete and 42 times greater than brick. If compared with typical construction materials, it helps to save 30% on energy and maintenance costs for heating and air-conditioning system.

PIR Panels are non hygroscopic. It does not absorb moisture, which enables waterproofing/moisture proofing. Strong assembly process prevents any water leakage issues at joints.

It is  light but strong independent structure and is easy to construct.

141B gas is used as blowing agent in manufacturing of traditional PU panels. United Nations declared 141B as one of the major reason for fracturing the Ozone Layer around earth. 141B gas injected in PU panels is also causing cancer. Izhar is the only company in Pakistan which discontinued the manufacturing of PU panels and switched to PIR Sandwich Panels using eco-friendly pentane gas

Since panels are flame retardant and fire proof, no flame spread take place within the panel core. PIR Panels / Sandwich Panels buildings are safer as compare to PU panels and other construction material.

With 50 ft. range panels length, core thickness up to 250 mm and color options to choose from, allows complete freedom at design stage for attractive appearance.

FieSafe PIR Sandwich Panels by Izhar are built for self assembly, thus decreasing the time and cost of construction.

  • Thermal conductivity is stable during life time.
  • No deformation in winter.
  • Acoustically compliant.
  • It is  light but strong independent structure and is easy to construct.

Fire Safety

Izhar Steel’s PIR Sandwich Panels have outstanding fire protection qualities. Entire industry is switching from PUR to PIR Sandwich Panels. The major objective of fire safety design of a building is to to minimize the consequences of a fire. It is matter of great significance for property owners and insurance companies that  whether the building components contribute to the fire event or whether they prevent flashovers and are self-extinguishing. Therefore it is important that wall and ceilings are fire safe and do not spread fire, spit out burning droplets and produce excessive smoke. Izhar’s PIR panels protect the basic structure and maintain the heat resistance properties for longer period of time which helps evacuation of the building. PIR panels also limit the damage to property.

Following fire behaviors of PIR Sandwich Panels are the reasons for the great success of PIR Sandwich Panels in Industry.

  • Less Smoke intensity
  • Fire penetration
  • Flame spread
  • No flashovers or fire expansion to the outside edges/transitions of a building component
  • Contribution to the fire event

Fire Values of Izhar PIR Sandwich Panels

  • Flammability Category: B2 PIR foam which makes these panels B1 category.
  • Panels are manufactured in compliance with ASTM E84(same as TSSC)

Roof Panels

The Izhar roof panels are designed for use as roofs for various buildings. Fastening to the supporting structure is carried out with use of self-drilling screws.

  • Profiled lining with a unique surface design.
  • Large lining bend radius guarantees durability of the protective coating.
  • Seamless polyurethane seal, applied in manufacture, guarantees joint tightness.
  • Capillary action preventing chamber.
  • Core made of stiff, CFC free, self-extinguishing PIR foam with very good thermal insulation properties.
  • Profiled edges guarantee tightness of joint.

PIR Panels / Sandwich Panels FAQ’s

Q: Are PIR sandwich panels waterproof?

Ans: Yes. PIR Sandwich panels from Izhar Foster are completely waterproof and moisture-proof. This makes these panels perfectly applicable for all wall insulation requirements. Our PIR sandwich panels are made to last long wherever you use them.

Q: Are PIR sandwich panels Fire safe?

Ans: Yes. Izhar Foster manufactures fire-resistant PIR sandwich panels that have high fire safety. In the case of PIR, the breakdown of the chemical chains takes place at a temperature of 300°C. The materials we use are far more advanced than traditional PU panels.

This means that in the event of a fire, PIR plates give the user more time to react and fight fire than any other sandwich panels, and in extreme cases – to evacuate.

Q: Are PIR sandwich panels insulated?

Ans: Yes. Our PIR Sandwich panels have great thermal insulating properties. We use advanced materials that are both durable and very highly insulating. This makes our PIR panels perfect for use in different parts of Pakistan.

Q: How long do PIR sandwich panels last?

Ans: Durability is one of the strong points of Izhar Foster’s PIR sandwich panels. Our panels are made to last for up to 50 plus years without needing replacement. The high-grade materials provide great insulation properties for more than 2 decades.
