Rigid PU's role in insulation looks set to grow

摘要

Polyurethane producers remain confident the market for PU-based insulation will continue to grow in coming years, with the increasing drive to save energy. According to figures from the American Chemistry Council, up to 70% of the energy used in the average home in the US goes towards heating and cooling. Rigid polyurethane foam remains one of the most widely used and cost-effective forms of insulation, the pre-formed sheets offering a versatile, lightweight and durable solution that can be easily adapted to suit any property. With its closed cell structure providing excellent strength and rigidity, it remains the material of choice to fill wall and ceiling voids, where it can significantly reduce energy requirements and cut costs.
