Rigid PU Foam Insulation Foam​

PP honeycomb flooring is a composite material consisting of vinyl wood-grain flooring and a PP honeycomb core. It combines the advantages of PP honeycomb cores and solid wood flooring, offering the benefits of lightweight, low cost, and long service life. It is suitable for indoor use, as well as in RVs and trucks.

  • Versatile
  • Good thermal insulation properties
  • Easy to process
  • Better insulation than XPS

Product Description

Rigid polyurethane foam boards are also known as PU or PUR. They are a type of rigid insulation foam and fire-resistant foam. With a thermal conductivity of 0.022–0.028 W/m/K, they feature a closed-cell structure, offering excellent insulation and fire-resistant properties. They are CFC-free. In everyday use, they are virtually unaffected by thermal expansion and contraction, making them resistant to cracking and breaking. They are durable and have a long service life. For insulation applications, waterproofing treatment is sufficient, with a water absorption rate of ≤0.2%. It has a very low density, ranging from 32 to 65 kg/m³. We can manufacture both low-density and high-density PU foam. This reduces weight, making it suitable for refrigerated trucks and recreational vehicles.

In use, it can be bonded with most materials. The most common application is in composite panels with fiberglass sheets. PU foam has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for load-bearing structures and the production of composite panels. It is the preferred choice for most building insulation applications..

advantages

  • Low thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity coefficient is lower than that of PVC, XPS, PET, and other rigid foams, and has been recognized by the market.
  • Low density: The density of PU foam is as low as 35 kg/m³, making it an excellent lightweight material.
  • High durability: It can maintain temperature under extreme conditions and withstand temperatures ranging from -38°C to 118°C.
  • Fire-resistant performance: PU foam is a flame-retardant foam with a melting point above 250°C. During combustion, it forms charcoal, thereby preventing the spread of flames. It does not produce harmful gases.
  • Easy to process: PU foam is easy to process and can be machined using CNC carving and cutting.
  • High hardness: It does not deform and maintains its shape over the long term. Shore A hardness ranges from 25 to 70.

Structural polyurethane foam

PU foam is an excellent structural foam, suitable for use in buildings, railways, ships, refrigerated trucks, and cargo vehicles. It can be produced as a composite material or used as a filling foam. In structural foams, PU foam holds nearly a dominant position.

FAQ

PU foam (polyurethane foam) has a wide range of applications and can be used as a structural material in automotive interiors, building walls, roofs, and floors. It provides excellent thermal insulation and high-strength structural support and is often used as a core material in sandwich panels. Rigid PU foam is widely used in building insulation and cold chain transportation due to its low thermal conductivity. Soft PU foam is highly elastic and has strong shock-absorbing properties, making it suitable for furniture filling (such as sofas and mattresses), shoe insoles, packaging materials, industrial sealing, soundproofing, and ship waterproofing. Its insulation properties and diverse functions have made it increasingly popular in the market.

PU foam and PVC foam are known as polyurethane foam and polyvinyl chloride foam, respectively. They differ in structure, performance, and applications.

PU foam is divided into soft and hard types, with open-cell and closed-cell structures, respectively. It is primarily used for insulation purposes, such as in transportation and construction industries. It has a low thermal conductivity coefficient.  

PVC foam has a closed-cell structure, offering better waterproofing performance and resistance to chemical corrosion. It is suitable for shipbuilding, sealing gaskets, and other applications.  

Both are excellent foam materials. PU foam is mainly used in industries requiring insulation, while PVC offers better cost-effectiveness.

PU foam is a type of plastic, specifically a polyurethane polymer. It is produced through the reaction of isocyanate with polyols. It is widely used across various industries.

PU foam has distinct advantages over other foams. It is lightweight, has strong compression resistance, and is cost-effective. It offers the best thermal insulation performance among all foams, making it particularly suitable for building insulation and cold chain transportation.
