Polyurethane Foam Systems

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.

Please see Client List page for other applications.

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)/k  thus 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.
