New 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Polyurethane Insulation website launched
EVERBERG, Belgium - 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 recently unveiled a new website ( ) highlighting the key role that polyurethane insulation products play in reducing energy use in buildings. 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 is a global leader in the supply of MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) which is used to produce polyurethane insulation.
The environmental benefits of polyurethane insulation cannot be overstated.听 It is generally recognized that residential and commercial buildings account for around 40% of the total energy consumed in developed nations 鈥� and that this energy accounts for about a similar percentage of CO2 emissions.听 A recent study by McKinsey concluded insulation is the single, most cost-effective measure to reduce greenhouse gases.
According to Nick Webster Vice-President Europe who oversees the Polyurethanes division鈥檚 insulation activities: 鈥淔luctuating oil prices and insecure energy supply will drive demand for polyurethane insulation products.鈥�
He added: 鈥淗igh performance polyurethane insulation products will become more prevalent in buildings across the globe for two reasons: polyurethane鈥檚 high thermal resistance and air tightness significantly lower a building鈥檚 heating and cooling energy demand, leading to reduced greenhouse gas emissions; and the superior insulation value of polyurethane allows thinner building elements, which minimizes the building footprint or maximizes internal useable space鈥�.
Polyurethane insulation allows easy conformance with the designer principles for low energy usage buildings of 鈥淏uild tight and ventilate right鈥�.
Architects and building scientists have evolved in their understanding of sustainability.听 The durability of building envelopes is important and moisture penetration is the leading cause of damage to these envelopes. Polyurethane insulation products are a superior insulation choice because they not only control the flow of heat and air infiltration but they also provide a barrier to moisture movement and their thermal performance is unaffected by moisture ingress.
More information on polyurethane products such as spray polyurethane foam, insulation (polyiso) boards, insulated metal panels, pipe insulation and one-component foam is available at the new website:听 .
