SEKISUI TECHNOLOGY
The New 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. Laminated with reinforced foil and adhesive backing, Thermobreak® is widely recognised
as the global leader in polyolefin insulation.
Thermobreak insulation is manufactured to ASTM C1427 Standard.

Superior Fire & Smoke Performance

Third Party Certifications
Thermobreak® LS-F offers the same thermal performance and properties as our standard product with the
added benefit of third party certifications including Factory Mutual (FM) and TUV-PSB.
FM 4924 is widely regarded as the most severe and realistic fire test for duct and pipe insulation.
Thermobreak® is currently the only polyolefin based product to have FM approval to FM 4924 Pipe insulation.
