1 Hi-RCBIS/ Korfil operates molding facilities inMassachusetts, Ohio and Utah to produce Expandable Polystyrene (EPS)Insulation Inserts that are sold only to ConcreteBlock Manufacturers. Our products are testedand have been code authorized for use ingrouted reinforced Masonry construction. Ourcompany is quality and customer focused toassure conformance to mandated Energy re invited to learn more is a concrete Hi-R Masonry Wall SystemDescriptionBasic Use:The Hi-R Wall Systemis a speciallydesigned concrete masonry unit and individually moldedinsulation insert. The block and the insulation are com-bined at the block manufacturing plant prior to delivery tothe job site.

2 The assembly provides a wall system capa-ble of achieving higher thermal R-values than conven-tional masonry, with no effect on the structural integrity ofmasonry Advantages:The Hi-R Wall System: Provides guaranteed consistent insulation value Permits excess moisture to escape Allows easy installation of pipes, conduits, etc. Improves dewpoint Improves sound resistance Eliminates concern of shrinkage, toxic fumes or odors Improves the ability of blocks to resist wind-driven rain Can be used above or below grade No lost time or rework if inspection rejects the quality of on-site workmanship Work by other trades is performed with little danger ofdamage to insulation The block itself can be used as a bond beamLimitations:Expanded polystyrene products of any typeshould not be exposed to temperatures in excess of 184 made from flame-retardant treatedexpandable polystyrene.

3 Like all foamed plastics, goodfire procedures must be followed during storage andinstallation. Inserts give off no toxic products of combus-tion, except carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, con-centrations of which are far less than those given off byequal volumes of wood products. Expandable poly-styrene contains no fluorocarbons and no and Materials:Masonry Units: Plain Faced,as well as Decorative Faced; Units in 8, 10 and 12-inch widths with nominal 8 x 16 face dimensions,conforming to ASTM C Insertsare individually molded from expandablepolystyrene in a minimum density of lbs. per cu. are packaged at the point of manufacture inheat-sealed, clear polyethylene bags.

4 Applicable Standards: ASTM C 578, Type X, replacing FederalSpecifications HH-I-524C. Specification for RigidCellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation. ASTM C 90 Standard Specification for LoadbearingConcrete Masonry Data:The Thermal Properties tables show thethermal resistance (Rt), including inside and outside airsurface resistances of .68 and .17 hr-ft2- F/BTU, respec-tively, and the U-values for various densities of concretemasonry units. See Thermal Properties Characteristics:See Physical Properties chart Work:None required. Inserts are placed inblocks prior to delivery to the job site. Inserts do not affectthe handling of blocks so no added labor is :During storage and installation, good firesafety procedures should be followed.
