SPA Polyurethane Foam Systems are unsurpassed for
thermal insulation compared to other materials of the same
thickness. It provides a light weight, seamless, waterproof
covering, completely bonded to the base structure. And because
each layer can be applied in non-rigid form, it easily conforms to
complex shapes before curing. This eliminates thermal losses via
fasteners and structural membranes, thereby improving the efficiency
and performance of heating and cooling plants.
SPA Polyurethane Foam Systems display their versatility and performance
in a wide variety of industrial situations. These can range from
insulation of pig and chicken sheds,
trucks/vans, insulating holding
tanks, vats and
pipelines, through to lining crumbling rock substrate when tunnelling
or excavating.
Because of its versatility, SPA Polyurethane Foam Systems can also be
used in overhead spraying situations and void-filling by direct
injection.
Whatever your requirements, SPA Polyurethane Foam Systems can be
engineered to suit the exact nature of the application.

What is
SPA
Polyurethane Foam Systems insulation value?
Because
the Thermal conductivity of aged SPA
Polyurethane Foam System (0.023W/m degrees K) is the lowest value (ie.
the best
insulant) of commonly used building materials it is far more effective
on an
equivalent thickness basis.
As
different thicknesses of different materials have different insulation
values,
it is common to specify required thermal performance in terms of Heat transfer or Thermal resistance (“R”
value).
R =
thickness (m)/kthus in the case of a metal roof that was to
be insulated, if it was desired to have a “R” value of 1.08, then it
would
require the addition of a 25mm thick layer of SPA Polyurethane Foam
System or a
43mm layer of cork.
The
“R” value for different thickness is set out below.
