Thermal and acoustic <strong>insulation</strong> forprotection against fire and moistureThermal <strong>insulation</strong>Ytong <strong>Multipor</strong> mineral <strong>insulation</strong>boards consist of 100 % homogeneousmaterial with a heat conductivityof 0.045 W/mK.Minimum energy lossesThermal resistance R (m 2 K)/WThickness(m 2 K)/W80 mm 1,78100 mm 2,22120 mm 2,67140 mm 3,11160 mm 3,56180 mm 4,00200 mm 4,44Thermal <strong>insulation</strong> in summerPrimarily the mass of structurespointing toward the inside as well asthe percentage of window area in theexterior structures are decisive forthe <strong>thermal</strong> <strong>insulation</strong> in summer.Here, external <strong>thermal</strong> <strong>insulation</strong><strong>composite</strong> <strong>system</strong>s attached to theoutside play only a subordinate role.If the insulating material in the external<strong>thermal</strong> <strong>insulation</strong> <strong>composite</strong><strong>system</strong> is calculated by itself, theheat storage capacity of Ytong <strong>Multipor</strong>is relatively high due to its density(115 kg/m³) at the same <strong>insulation</strong>thickness.Stores heatProtection against moistureYtong <strong>Multipor</strong> is treated to ensurethat it is water repellent inside andout. Short rain showers and badweather periods are no problem atall. Ytong <strong>Multipor</strong> mineral <strong>insulation</strong>boards contain only 5 % solidsand are open for vapour diffusion.Ytong <strong>Multipor</strong> does not experienceany mentionable loss in strength inthe wet state.Moreover, this mineral insulatingmaterial with its good <strong>thermal</strong> insulatingand diffusion characteristicsalso ensures a pleasant roomclimate with balanced temperatureand humidity.System open for vapour diffusionFire protectionYtong <strong>Multipor</strong> mineral <strong>insulation</strong>boards are classified as non-combustiblein construction materialclass A1 and the associated Ytong<strong>Multipor</strong> light mortar ensures absolutesafety in the event of a fire.This insulating material does notdevelop any toxic gases or smokeeven at the highest temperatures.This is a true advantage for vitalrescue measures in the event of afire.non-combustibleAcoustic <strong>insulation</strong>In spite of their high porosity of95 % by volume, Ytong <strong>Multipor</strong>mineral <strong>insulation</strong> boards do nothave any negative effect for acoustic<strong>insulation</strong>. The acoustic <strong>insulation</strong>requirements specified in DIN4109 were determined using theacoustic <strong>insulation</strong> value R W. In contrastto most external <strong>thermal</strong> <strong>insulation</strong><strong>composite</strong> <strong>system</strong>s whichdecrease the value by up to 5 dB, itis maintained by Ytong <strong>Multipor</strong>.Since <strong>thermal</strong> <strong>insulation</strong> <strong>composite</strong><strong>system</strong>s are usually used as <strong>thermal</strong><strong>insulation</strong> on exterior walls, theacoustic insulating properties usuallypertain to low frequency trafficnoise.The acoustic insulating factor forthe overall construction is distinguishedby the weighted acoustic <strong>insulation</strong>value R W. Here, the high rigidityof Ytong <strong>Multipor</strong> ensuresgood values.Good acoustic <strong>insulation</strong>6 <strong>External</strong> <strong>thermal</strong> <strong>insulation</strong> <strong>composite</strong> <strong>system</strong>
