Navycell®

Navycell® is a light blue insulating product, consisting of polyethylene foam, chemically cross-linked and closed-cell, laminated with a 20 μm smooth aluminium foil on one side and with a self-adhesive layer on the other.

Expressly designed and developed for use in applications requiring special safety measures, such as in naval sector, navycell® fulfils all the requirements set by the latest European Directive on marine equipment – “Council Directive 2014/90/EU” and European Regulation 2018/773. Consequently, the material has the certificate 0987/MED-B/836 and it is labelled with the wheel-mark.

The MED marking guarantees the product quality and safety in two ways:

  • the product is certified according to the fire reaction regulations (Module B – EC Type Examination certificates).
  • the production quality of the manufacturer is audited and approved by external IMO accredited laboratory (Module D – Production quality assurance).
