Covestro launches new polyurethane products for efficient thermal insulation in buildings
In the fields of industrial and commercial buildings, public facilities and logistics and storage, energy saving, sustainability, compliance with climate protection goals and cost effectiveness will become increasingly important. Challenges including these will be the theme of this year's "industrieBAU (Industrial Buildings) Day" on industrial building trends and future activities. It is reported that the industrieBAU magazine will host the event on September 27th at the Kasino Hotel in Leverkusen Chemical Park.
Polyurethane rigid foam is a high-performance thermal insulation material, which is very suitable for reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions of buildings and protecting fossil resources. In the field of construction sandwich panels of German industry and commerce, the thermal insulation material currently accounts for about 80% of the market. Covestro will speak and support the event as a platinum sponsor, while attendees will be invited to visit its Polyurethane Building Products Technology Center.
Sustainable insulation for sandwich panels in industrial and commercial buildings consists of two metal protective layers and a rigid core of polyurethane (or even more flame-resistant polyisocyanurate). Stefanie Rau, marketing manager for the construction industry in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said: "These materials have been used for many years and they are used for the large-scale and efficient insulation of industrial and commercial buildings, which can help to achieve rapid, modular and low-cost completion Building. "
Polyurethane rigid foam can also be used in the production of insulation panels. They have a soft protective layer for thermal insulation of pitched and flat roofs as well as internal and external walls. Stefanie Rau explains: "In flat roof applications, due to high compressive strength, good water resistance and low maintenance costs, the market share of insulation panels is gradually increasing." Both insulation materials and insulation panels are produced through a continuous production process. Manufactured on a double-layer belt production line.
