TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

BASOTECT G+ ALU.MALLA

General

BASOTECT® G+ is flexible, open cell foam made from melamine resin, a thermoset polymer, no brittleness
at low temperatures. Its characteristic feature is its three-dimensional network structure consisting of slender
and thus easily shaped webs. Improved quality in formaldehyde emissions.
Presented on one face with a coated aluminum foil reinforced by glass fiber net, and optionally other face with
pressure sensitive self-adhesive (ADH).

Linear dimensional change depending on moisture content
The dimensions change depending on moisture content.

Thermal Conductivity According to DIN EN 12667

Visual Aspect Criteria

Due to the manufacturing process, the foam has a pore size distribution. As an upper limit, 10 pores per
m² with a diameter in a range of > 5 - 15 mm may occur on cut surfaces.
