Key Benefits

Newton Fibran XPS 500-C is a 50mm deep, closed-cell thermal insulation board made from rigid extruded polystyrene foam (XPS). The product is manufactured in accordance with EN 13164 – “Thermal insulation products for buildings – Factory made products of extruded polystyrene (XPS)-specification.”

Produced exclusively for Newton Waterproofing Ltd, Newton Fibran XPS 500-C insulation boards are used to form a 50mm spacer adjacent to the Basedrain and Floordrain drainage channels within the Newton System 500 cavity drain waterproofing system. The insulation boards are rated at 500 kPa and feature specifically designed slots to the underside of the boards, that in combination with the perimeter and spine drainage channels of Newton System 500 form a fully drained supporting spacer below the floor drainage membrane.

The insulation boards can also be used as a protection for Newton System 200 liquid applied waterproofing membranes applied externally to new earth retained structures or retained walls, uniquely offering protection, insulation and drainage within one product.

• Excellent thermal insulation characteristics with a very low coefficient of thermal conductivity
• Closed cell structure with no connecting capillaries resulting in extremely high resistance to water
• absorption and diffusion of water vapour
• Capable of permanent submersion in water
• Fully inert when subjected to climatic variations
• High mechanical and compressive strength and high dimensional stability
• Life expectancy is equivalent to the building in which it is installed (estimated 50 years)
• 100% recyclable
• Easy to transport, cut and apply
• Completely rot proof and does not develop any mould or other efflorescence
• No nutritional value for rodents, insects, etc
• Good resistance to acids, alkalines, aggressive ground containments and inorganic gases

Typical Applications

• As the spacer below Newton System 500 flooring membranes
• Protection of Newton System 200 liquid applied waterproofing membranes applied externally to retained walls
• Insulated support below Newton 403 HyrdroBond waterproofing membrane
• Parking decks and green roofs
• Full external envelope insulating of subterranean structures sited permanently within the water table

Newton 520 eco is one of the main constituent parts of Newton System 500, our BBA Certified, ‘Type C’ cavity drain system, used for waterproofing of earth-retained structures, that includes drainage channels sited below the membrane for increased drainage capacity. With its 20 mm deep stud profile, Newton 520 eco is used within Newton System 500 as a high drainage capacity floor membrane and is generally specified where it is anticipated that there may be a risk of severe water penetration.

Key Benefits
