The construction industry is increasingly driven by the demand for sustainable, high-performing materials that align with environmental goals. Eco-friendly building materials produced with purman®’s technology offer present a groundbreaking solution, offering exceptional thermal performance, fire resistance, and mechanical strength while addressing critical waste management challenges.
Recycled PU foam building materials: exceptional thermal performance and safety
One of the most compelling aspects of purman® recycled PU foam building materials is their superior thermal conductivity, which ranges between 0.030 and 0.034 W/(m*K) according to EN 12667 standards.
This makes them ideal for energy-efficient construction projects, ensuring optimal insulation with minimal material thickness. Their density, tested as per ASTM D792, is between 60 and 90 kg/m³, providing the perfect balance between lightweight handling and structural integrity.
Furthermore, fire resistance testing under EN ISO 11925 demonstrates that these boards can achieve a classification as high as A2, making them a safe choice for applications where fire safety is paramount.
Versatile Applications in Construction
The potential uses of these recycled boards in construction are vast:
- Floor Insulation: Their thermal properties enhance comfort and energy efficiency.
- Attic and Ceiling Insulation: Easy to install while maintaining excellent performance.
- External Wall Insulation: Contribute to facade systems that improve energy efficiency and enhance fire safety, meeting modern building standards.
Advanced coating technologies for enhanced performance
Beyond their intrinsic properties, purman® recycled PU foam building materials feature advanced coating technologies. For example, a cement-coated fiberglass layer significantly broadens their application range.
This involves applying a fiberglass base layer, coated with a blend of cement, stone powder, and binder, which undergoes curing before being added to the boards.
The result is an insulation wall board with high mechanical strength and superior fire resistance. Other advanced coatings, particularly those using fiberglass-based formulations, have also been successfully tested.
These coatings imbue the boards with soundproofing or enhanced fire-resistant properties, making them suitable for acoustic insulation in commercial spaces or applications in high-risk fire zones.
Turning waste into value
In a world where valuable materials like PU foam are too often discarded or incinerated, purman®’s recycled PU foam building materials offer a transformative solution.
By giving a second life to this waste, the construction industry can play a pivotal role in reducing its environmental impact.
The adoption of such sustainable materials not only aligns with global environmental goals but also delivers superior performance and durability, making it a win-win for builders, developers, and the planet alike.
A New Standard for Environmentally Conscious Building
purman®’s innovative approach to recycled PU foam demonstrates that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand. The time is ripe for the construction industry to embrace these solutions, turning waste into valuable resources and setting a new standard for environmentally conscious building practices.
