No. Compared with other insulation materials, the manufacturing process uses only spall amoutns of energy as the Jablite EPS beadt is expanded by steam.

Jablite uses a bead containing a small amount of an organic compound called pentane (less than 5%) to act as a catalyst to the expansion process.

Jablite Premium has carbon additive to increase its thermal performance.

Jablite Flat Roof Inverted uses a special bead with very low water absorbency of less than 1%.

A Euroclass E 'flame-retardant' additive may also be added for applications where required.

All Jablite sites are accredited to BS EN ISO 9001 Quality Management System meaning that a fully audited quality control system is in place.
