Industrial and construction applications

Thermal insulation foam

Widely used in construction and industry for its low thermal conductivity and ability to reduce energy losses and maintain stable temperatures.

  • Low thermal conductivity
  • High energy efficiency
  • Lightweight and easy to install
  • Stable and durable
Description

What is thermal insulation foam?

A low-conductivity material that limits heat transfer between environments, maintaining stable temperatures in hot and cold conditions.

Polyurethane foams are highly efficient: their cellular structure traps air and reduces heat transfer, providing strong insulating performance.

Comparison

Thermal conductivity of different materials

Indicative thermal conductivity values, λ in W/(m·K). Lower values mean better insulation. Polyurethane offers high performance compared with common building materials.

Polyurethane λ ≈ 0.022 · Excellent
Cork λ ≈ 0.040
Wood λ ≈ 0.13
Brick λ ≈ 0.80
Glass λ ≈ 1.00
