Recognized for its leadership in developing advanced, energy-efficient building products, Premier SIPs introduces PREMIER PLATINUM structural insulated panels (SIPs) that offer 20 percent higher R-values than traditional SIP panels. The next generation of high performance SIPs is made with the new Insulfoam Platinum graphite polystyrene (GPS) insulation.
GPS is a new class of insulation made with BASF’s Neopor, a rigid foam that integrates high-purity graphite into the polymer matrix. The graphite reflects radiant heat energy like a mirror, increasing the material’s resistance to the flow of heat – or R-Value. In fact, testing has shown Platinum cores can increase the panel’s overall R-Value by over 20 percent.
