TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
TRYMER® 25-50
POLYISOCYANURATE FOAM INSULATION
DESCRIPTION
Trymer® 25-50 insulation is a polyurethane modified
polyisocyanurate (PIR) cellular plastic. The rigid insulation is
supplied in the form of bunstock for fabrication into sheets,
pipe shells, tank, and vessel coverings, and other shapes
for a variety of thermal insulation applications. Trymer 25-50
meets the most stringent flame spread and smoke developed
rating requirements in most building codes, making it ideal for
insulating chilled water piping in commercial buildings. Trymer
25- 50 insulation features improved dimensional stability over
a wider range of temperatures than standard polyurethane
insulation. Trymer insulation is not a known nutrient source for
mold and mildew.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
APPLICATIONS Trymer 25-50 insulation exhibits the properties and
characteristics indicated in Table 1 when tested as represented.
Trymer 25-50 insulation is suitable for applications that require a

(1) All properties are measured at 74° (23°C), unless otherwise indicated.
(2) Unless otherwise indicated, data shown are typical values obtained from representative production samples. This data may be used as a guide for design purposes but should not be
construed as specifications. For property ranges and specifications, consult your JMrepresentative.
(3) Above 300°F, discoloration and charring will occur, resulting in an increased k-factor in the discolored area.
(4) Trymer PIR can be used at temperatures below this but certain system design precautions may be necessary. Please consult JM for more information.
(5) Frequent and severe thermal cycling can produce dimensional changes significantly greater than those stated here. Special design consideration must be made in systems that cycle
frequently.
