PIR polyisocyanurate is a foam insulation product that is used to insulate buildings. It comes in two types: thermal insulation board and sandwich panel. Both materials are excellent options for insulating a building. Depending on the desired level of insulation, PIR foam may be applied in a variety of ways.
PIR foam insulation
PIR polyisocyanurate foam (PIR) is a versatile and environmentally friendly building material with exceptional thermal properties. Its advantages over traditional thermal insulation materials include its durability, water absorption and resistance to aggressive environments. It is also non-toxic and produces no harmful emissions. This makes PIR an excellent choice for environmentally conscious homes and buildings.
PIR foam is made of isocyanurate, which is a ring-like polymer with relatively strong chemical bonds. This ring-like structure gives PIR foam increased stiffness. The greater bond strength means the foam is less likely to break when subjected to extreme temperatures. PIR is also more chemically and thermally stable than polyurethane. Urethane begins to break down at a temperature of 100 to 110 degC, while isocyanurate starts to decompose at 200 degrees.
Thermal performance is an important factor in determining the efficiency of a building’s envelope. Rigid insulation can maintain a building’s temperature by keeping the sheathing board warm. Rigid insulation can also act as a barrier against water. Research on polyisocyanurate rigid boards has demonstrated that they have higher thermal resistance and a perceived lower permeance.
The R-value of PIR is higher than that of PUR. The U-value, which measures thermal transmittance, is inversely proportional to R-value. The lower the U-value, the better. In addition to these properties, PIR is also lighter and has lower thermal conductivity. These qualities make it an excellent choice for high-performance building envelopes.
The PIR core protects the insulation when in contact with fire. Moreover, it self-extinguishes after the fire source is removed. Further, independent research on building systems containing EPIC-member insulated panels shows that the foam does not cause fire propagation, flashover or panel collapse. Moreover, a thorough examination of the panels after the tests shows that there was no flame spread or flashover.
PIR insulation wall systems are similar to stone wool in terms of performance. They both can pass a full-scale test BS 8414-1. In fact, they are virtually the same in terms of fire resistance. However, the vertical and horizontal cavity barriers do not influence the test results. PIR systems had a lower peak temperature in the insulation and cavity than stone wool systems, although the external side of the insulation was similar.
LOGICPIR thermal insulation board
LOGICPIR is a polyisocyanurate thermal insulation board that has excellent durability and is suitable for many different applications. It is resistant to fire and moisture and has a service life of 50 years. It is lightweight and can be transported easily. It is also resistant to deformation due to operation loads, thanks to its high compressive strength and low density.
LOGICPIR is a polyisocyanurate thermal insulation board that is available in different thicknesses and can be used for a variety of applications. It is especially suitable for use under synthetic membranes and flat roofing systems due to its low thermal conductivity and compressive strength. It is non-combustible and does not absorb water, which allows it to maintain its properties for a long period of time.
Technonikol is a manufacturer of sandwich panels made of polyurethane foam and LOGICPIR thermal insulation board. It produces eight different types of PIR panels and divides them into two categories: floor and wall. Both are suitable for individual and professional constructions.
Polyisocyanurate is an organic and inorganic polymer that offers superior thermal performance and is one of the most popular insulation materials in North America. It also meets the strictest environmental standards. Its main constituent is methylene diphenyl diisocyanate. This chemical compound has a rigid, closed spherical structure that provides high thermal resistance to fire.
Polyisocyanurate has high adhesion properties and can be used in a variety of construction applications. The polymer can be lined with a variety of base materials, depending on the needs of the project. It can also be covered with various types of covering materials.
The reaction between polyol and MDI takes place at a higher temperature than that of PUR. First, the MDI reacts with itself, producing a stiff ring molecule that is a reactive intermediate called a tri-isocyanate compound. After this, the remaining MDI reacts with polyol to form a complex polymer. The polymer is then foamed in the presence of a blowing agent.
LOGICPIR Premier sandwich panel
Polyisocyanurate or PIR is a thermoset thermoplastic that is commonly used in rigid thermal insulation. This sandwich panel is composed of 3 layers: the top layer consists of corrugated steel, the bottom layer consists of stainless steel or aluminum sheet, and the core layer is made of high-density polyisocyanurate foam. This panel has excellent thermal insulation properties. Its lightweight design also means it has a good strength-to-weight ratio.
LOGICPIR Premier sandwich panels are lightweight and durable with a fireproof polyisocyanurate filler. They are among the best materials for buildings due to their low thermal conductivity. In addition, PIR foam has reduced flammability, and the outer layer turns into a porous carbon matrix under flame. This prevents the inner layers from becoming damaged. Polyisocyanurate foam sandwich panels also improve energy efficiency when used in a building, enabling it to outperform other materials.
A polyisocyanurate sandwich panel can be used for single or multi-span structures. These panels can also be used for partitions. They are also suitable for buildings with steel frames. They are particularly suitable for preventing hot and cold bridges.
LOGICPIR foam insulation
LOGICPIR is a polyisocyanurate foam insulation that is rigid, perfectly flat, and resistant to extreme thermal conditions. Its high thermal resistance and compressive strength make it an ideal choice for roofing applications. It has no water absorption and a low thermal conductivity. Its highly-resistant properties also make it safe for human habitation and the environment.
The benefits of using LOGICPIR polyisocyanure foam insulation panels are many. The material is durable and can be installed inside high-performance stud walls. The polyiso insulation panels come with a foil on both sides. They provide a better vapour barrier than ordinary polyethylene.
PIR is also fire-resistant. It can be continuously sprayed on virtually any surface and is less expensive than other insulation materials. It also reduces water damage in wall cavities in areas where floods are common. Its versatility is unrivaled by other types of polyisocyanurate foam.
Polyiso is a great choice for a variety of commercial and specialty applications. The product offers excellent fire performance and meets strict standards for UL 1256, FM Class 1 Approvals, and NFPA 285 testing. Moreover, it is CFC-free and has negligible global warming potential. And it is recyclable, which makes it an environmentally-friendly choice for building reroofing and new commercial roofs.
In addition to its high strength, polyiso insulation also features low water absorption and less vapor transmission. Its compatibility with most construction adhesives is another benefit. Its low cost and ease of installation make it an excellent choice for both new and existing buildings. This insulation is ideal for insulating walls and ceilings. In addition, it is resistant to extreme temperatures, making it a very good choice for a range of climates.
