BSK-Materials - EUROPEAN REGULATIONS INCREASE DEMANDS FOR ‘PARSEC THERMO-BRITE’

Lightweight membrane from BSK Materials provides toughness & durability with high thermal and moisture barrier performance
Increased thermal and air-tightness regulations for all buildings in Europe are rapidly boosting demands for ‘Parsec Thermo-Brite’. A spin-off from the NASA space programme, the six layer composite radiant vapour barrier material is manufactured exclusively in the UK by BSK Materials.
Featuring a tear and puncture resistant polymer core and incorporating outer layers of highly reflective foil and metalised polyester, Parsec is coated with a transparent lacquer for maximum protection against damage and corrosion. This ultra-lightweight membrane, weight is an important consideration in roofing applications, provides toughness, durability and outstanding thermal and moisture barrier performance.
Providing a highly efficient and long-term cost effective solution, Parsec remains the clear market leader in the field of reflective insulation materials. The versatile product is used for more demanding applications where the thermal and moisture barrier performance of a structure will have a major impact on the long term running costs and durability of the building.
In Western Europe, Parsec is used in normal temperate zone applications to seal the outer building fabric against radiated heat loss and moisture gain from the inside to the outside. The high thermal, moisture barrier and strength performance characteristics of Parsec have proved to be highly effective in factory, agricultural, and health spa buildings, plus heating and ventilation applications. Parsec also offers a Class 0 fire rating.
Parsec applications also include metal roofing in the Far East, where Singapore-based Eltraco markets the product. In these equatorial markets levels of heat and humidity offer what are probably the most challenging and hostile environments for modern lightweight, insulated and air-conditioned buildings. Unlike its use in temperate climes, the role of the vapour barrier is reversed and Parsec is used to seal the inside of the building against solar gain, air movement and moisture ingress, which would place excessive loading on air conditioning systems, eliminate the effectiveness of fibrous insulation and quickly degrade the internal structure.
By pioneering the advancement of extrusion coating, laminating, aqueous coating, hot melt and adhesive lamination technologies, Rochester-based BSK boasts a portfolio of world-beating brands. These include ‘Sisalkraft’ building papers; ‘Prolex’ vapour control materials; ‘Insulex Vented Foil Bubble’ used in new build timber frame housing; ‘Insulex Insulating Foil Bubble’ and standard and customised facings for board, mineral fibre and other insulation products.
The company operates a number of business divisions focussed on specific construction and packaging sectors. Exports represent some 25 per cent of the group’s output with products sold through an international network of distributors in over 30 countries. The company is always actively looking to grow overseas sales and is currently seeking additional Parsec Thermo-Brite partners and distributors in Europe.
BSK works to international quality protocols ISO 9001:2000. The company’s technologies handle a wide range of flexible substrates including foil, paper, glass tissue, glass reinforcement and film. An independent group, BSK’s 12-acre site incorporates production, warehousing and logistics facilities geared to support an efficient supply chain management service. The company’s active research and development programme is focussed on continual product innovation and energy reduction.
