Thermal <strong>and</strong> acoustic <strong>insulation</strong>,fire protectionBuilding physicsThermal <strong>insulation</strong>Ytong Multipor Mineral InsulationBoards consist of 100 % homogeneousmaterial with a thermal conductivityof λ = 0.45 W/mK over theentire board thickness. Excellentvalues can be achieved in this manner.Thermal resistance R (m 2 K)/WThickness(m 2 K)/W50 mm 1,1160 mm 1,3380 mm 1,78100 mm 2,22120 mm 2,67140 mm 3,11160 mm 3,56180 mm 4,00200 mm 4,44The gluing system prevents thermalbridges such as frequently occurwith rail or anchor systems.Minimum energy lossProtection against moistureSolid Ytong Multipor Mineral InsulationBoards not only provide excellentthermal <strong>insulation</strong>, they arealso open for vapour diffusion.This ensures that the Ytong Multiporlight mortar hardens quicklyallowing the concrete <strong>ceiling</strong> tocontinue curing.System open for vapour diffusionFire protectionThe non-combustible Ytong Multipormineral insulating boards <strong>and</strong> associatedlight mortar ensure absolutesafety for <strong>basement</strong> <strong>ceiling</strong>s,driveways <strong>and</strong> below <strong>ceiling</strong>s inunderground <strong>garage</strong>s. Ytong Multipordoes not develop any toxic vapoursor smoke even at the highesttemperatures - a true advantagewhen trying to find the escape routewhile performing vital rescue measuresduring a fire.Absolutely non combustibleAcoustic <strong>insulation</strong>Running engines, squeeling tires<strong>and</strong> driving noises from cars entering<strong>and</strong> exiting frequently lead toannoying noise levels in underground<strong>garage</strong>s.In comparison to concrete, whichreflects nearly all sound, YtongMultipor absorbs a portion of theacoustic energy (acoustic absorberclass D) according to DIN EN 11654<strong>and</strong> its porous material structureprovides for effective reduction ofnoise in parking building facilities.Noise absorbingFire resistant classesIn underground <strong>garage</strong>s high requirementsare placed on <strong>ceiling</strong>s<strong>and</strong> walls in terms of fire protection.If supporting solid <strong>ceiling</strong>s, donot provide the thickness requiredfor covering the reinforcement incompliance with DIN 4102-4 for fireprotection, they can be upgraded tothe appropriate fire resistance classby covering on the bottom with Multipormineral <strong>insulation</strong> boards(glued with Ytong Multipor lightmortar) even in minimum thicknesses.Completely safe fire protection6 <strong>Underground</strong> <strong>garage</strong>/<strong>basement</strong> <strong>ceiling</strong> <strong>insulation</strong>
