Boss Foil Faced 8mm Thermal Blanket

Made in Australia from up to 80% recycled material, Boss foil faced blankets are a low cost alternative to reusable curing blankets. The 8mm closed cell foam sheet combined with the foil face provide excellent insulation against extreme temperatures. Foil faced blankets can easily be cut with scissors or a utility knife to go around penetrations or cover irregular shapes.

DID YOU KNOW – At 4°C, the chemical reactions that cure concrete essentially stops, and if the mercury dips below 0°C, the water in the concrete freezes which leads to pressure buildup, scaling and potentially compromises the structure. So, the greater the concrete mass, the greater the risk of thermal cracking. As concrete hydrates and cures, it generates heat and expands. Thermal cracking occurs when the warmer concrete core expands whilst the cooling outer layer contracts. The greater the temperature differential, the greater the stresses and potential for cracking.
