1 KORFILCBIS/ Korfil operates molding facilities inMassachusetts, Ohio and Utah to produceExpandable Polystyrene (EPS) insulation Insertsthat are sold only to Concrete BlockManufacturers. Our products are tested andhave been code authorized for use in groutedreinforced Masonry construction. Our companyis quality and customer focused to assure con-formance to mandated Energy re invited to learn more is a concrete Korfil BlockInsulationDescriptionBasic Use: KORFILI nserts are individually molded ofexpandable polystyrene and designed to fit standardtwo (2) core masonry units of 6, 8, 10 and 12-inchwidths for use in both single wythe and cavity wallconstruction. Inserts are preinstalled at the Block plantprior to delivery on the job site. In addition to nearlydoubling the insulating characteristics of a masonry wall, Korfil Inserts: Eliminate the need for on-site labor to insulate masonry walls. Do not deteriorate in insulation R-value with moistureor aging.

2 Allow space within the cores for the escape of mois-ture. This space also allows for easy installation ofutilities within the wall. Can be handled by masons just as easily as unin-sulated blocks. Are cost-competitive when compared to the variousother methods used to insulate concrete blocks. Have no effect on the fire rating of conventionalconcrete Block walls. Improve both the dewpoint and sound transmissionresistance of ordinary concrete :Expanded polystyrene products of any typeshould not be exposed to temperatures in excess of184 are made from flame-retardant treatedexpandable polystyrene. Like all foamed plastics, goodfire procedures must be followed during storage andinstallation. Inserts give off no toxic products of com-bustion, except carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide,concentrations of which are far less than those given off by equal volumes of wood products. Expandable poly-styrene contains no fluorocarbons and no and Materials: KORFILI nserts are indi-vidually molded from expandable polystyrene in a mini-mum density of lbs.

ASTM C 90 Standard Specification for LoadbearingConcrete Masonry Data:The Thermal Properties tables showthe thermal resistance (Rt), including inside and outsideair surface resistances of .68 and .17 hr-ft2- F/BTU,respectively, and the U-values for various densities ofconcrete masonry units. See Thermal Properties Characteristics:See Physical Propertieschart 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.
