Polyurethane rigid foam, a proven thermal insulating material for applications between +130 and -196 deg C.
Author(s) : DEMHARTER A.
Summary
Compared with other insulating materials, polyurethane rigid foam is highly competitive. There are five product-related advantages: lowest thermal conductivity, good mechanical and chemical properties at both high and low temperatures, all major international fire safety requirements can be satisfied, the ability to form sandwich structures with various facer materials, and the new generation of polyurethane is CFC-free and recyclable. Rigid polyurethane foams perform well in most areas of low-temperature insulation. Typical applications are: refrigerated vehicles, road and rail tankers, vessels for refrigerated cargo, pipelines, liquid gas tanks for LPG and LNG and cryogenic wind tunnels.
