Polyurethane Systems for building and industry

Control of indoor air humidity is key to the healthiness of buildings. Even if at first glance we can not perceive the amount of water vapour that is present in the room, on average a person perspires between 3 and 5 litres of water vapour per day.

A proper configuration of the envelope is essential to guarantee the building's energy efficiency, as well as the accomplishment of health standards and comfort. In summer and winter, solving these deficiencies becomes even more important, since the extreme climatic...

In previous articles, we defined different building solutions to prevent radon gas from entering into new buildings. In the case of dealing with the problem of radon in already built constructions, there are two ways of fighting it: ventilation or insulation.

According to current regulations and building best practices, the construction of a new building must ensure that its occupants are not exposed to radon concentrations potentially posing a risk for their health.

Polyurethane's characteristics turn it into an optimal material for the insulation of a building. Its durability is the basis of its properties against environmental agents, which make it stand above its competitors in the field of insulation materials.

Polyurethane foams are used daily in many forms at the home, the office or on leisure and sports facilities. This widespread use is due to the excellent thermal performance and airtightness achieved with sprayed polyurethane foam insulation.

Polyurethanes are...
