DEF

The ability of a wood-derived panel to offer a good thermal resistance, generally expressed in heat conductivity values.

OBS

Satisfactory thermal insulation can best be obtained with sandwich panels by using cores having low thermal conductivity although the use of reflective layers on the facings is of some value. Paper honeycomb cores have thermal conductivity values (k values) ranging from 0.30 to 0.65 British thermal units per hour per 1 °F. per square foot per inch of thickness ....
