From calculations by thermal calculation code recognized by CSIRO,

the total R value for the complete Exin wall (see fig. 1) system
are given in table 6.

NOTE: The core material in Exin products is expanded polystyrene.

As with all other organic material, insulation products must
be considered combustible and to constitute a fire hazard
if improperly used or installed. The material contains a flame
retardant additive to inhibit accidental ignition from small fire sources.

Exin building panels have been subjected

to extensive testings and comply with relevant
Australian building practices. They have
also been technically assessed by CSIRO,
which has granted the CSIRO Building
Products and Systems Appraisals to Exin
Wall Panel (Technical Assessment 252).
