Insulation Technology

Polyurethane is cellular lightweight polymer of high thermal resistance. It is known to have the lowest thermal conductivity among insulating materials. This ensures efficient heat retention, and temperature control (refrigerated or frozen environments). Hence, a thinner layer is needed for obtaining the same level of energy efficiency.
For an insulating material to be efficient it is required to keep the heat inside in cold climates and outside in hot climates. In addition to its energy efficiency, they have relatively small and increasingly diminishing carbon footprint.
Upon manufacturing, polyurethane has adhesive properties. Bonding polyurethane to facing material (ex. Aluminum), increases its shear and compressive strength.
One of its benefits is that it is very easily cut and shaped to the required form. It is used for insulating walls, roofs and floors. Moreover, they are considered to be affordable, durable, moisture resistant and safe to use. They are used in the manufacture of composite panels or sandwich panels.
