Thermal Insulation Applications

Polyurea provides a simple and effective insulation solution. This system will protect your structure for decades against weather conditions while reducing energy consumption costs. With a combined weight of under 5 kg per m², Polyurethane Foam and Polycoat Polyurea are lighter than traditional materials. This low weight helps save costs and space throughout the construction process, creating an extremely effective semi-rigid waterproof thermal barrier that insulates your building against heat loss and radiant heat gain. NewTec offers insulation systems designed for concrete roofs and industrial workshops from both the inside and outside, as well as insulation for tanks and pipelines.

Insulation for Construction Projects

The roof of a building is directly exposed to sunlight and plays a crucial role in protecting the interior of the structure from rain, temperature, and weather conditions. Therefore, when constructing a building, it is essential to choose an effective insulation method to maintain thermal resistance over an extended period. Proper insulation immediately leads to a significant reduction in heat loss and the formation of a stable microclimate inside the building. Typically, the roof, gables, and attic floors are insulated using various insulation materials.

Polyurethane foam is currently the most popular and effective insulation material for roofs, gables, or attics. Its advantages include:

• Low thermal conductivity: Polyurethane foam has a very low thermal conductivity coefficient (0.022-0.028 W/m-K), which allows it to retain heat perfectly, even at a small thickness. This significantly reduces the load on the building’s supporting structures and saves considerable space.
• Fire resistance: Polyurethane foam belongs to the group of slow-burning materials, with special foam types available that are fire-resistant.
• Resistance to pests and microorganisms: It is not affected by rodents and has resistance to microorganisms, mold, and decay.
• Increased roof strength: The spraying process contributes to creating a unified structure, enhancing the roof’s durability.
• Quick application: Polyurethane foam is applied by spraying, allowing for rapid installation. This creates a monolithic structure that perfectly protects the home from cold air, moisture, and wind from the outside while preventing heat from escaping from the inside.
• Longevity: Polyurethane foam combined with Polycoat polyurea offers high durability and abrasion resistance, with a lifespan of at least 30 years. It easily withstands wind, moisture, heat, and other positive influences.

Insulation for Tanks and Pipelines

Tanks and pipelines are used in various industries, and typically, their operations are conducted at a specific temperature regime, requiring insulation. Traditionally, roll-type insulation materials have been used for insulating tanks and pipelines, along with additional coverings or coatings. This method involves high financial costs, lengthy installation times, and low durability.

Polyurethane Foam coating protects the tank

Moreover, during the operation of insulated tanks under different climatic conditions with seasonal temperature fluctuations and humidity levels, the non-sealing of the protective layers often leads to condensation forming beneath the insulation sooner or later. As a result, the functional properties will no longer meet the requirements. It is common that during the modernization of production, existing equipment needs to be adjusted to align with modern technology. Tanks, in particular, often have complex geometric shapes, and traditional insulation materials are unsuitable for these cases.

All these shortcomings are absent in Polyurethane Foam. The application of Polyurethane Foam results in the formation of a shell that adheres well and securely, creating a moisture and vapor barrier without gaps or cold bridges. Its use minimizes heat loss (the thermal conductivity of Polyurethane Foam is 0.022-0.028 W/m-K).

Polyurethane Foam coating protects the pipelines

The sprayed Polyurethane Foam material is resistant to environmental influences (humidity) and has a high resistance to chemical impacts. To provide additional protection for tanks insulated with Polyurethane Foam, a layer of Polyurea or polyurethane mastic is often sprayed, which adds strength and durability to the structure, extending the lifespan of the tanks and pipelines in the process (suitable for the technical characteristics of Polyurethane Foam and polyurea: resistant to acidic, alkaline, solvent, oil, and other refined products).

One of the important factors when choosing Polyurethane Foam is its ease of maintenance compared to other materials. It is simply necessary to spray Polyurethane Foam onto the damaged area. For these purposes, manufacturers of Polyurethane Foam have developed kits for spraying Polyurethane Foam in small areas.

Polyurethane Foam combined with Polycoat polyurea possesses several superior qualities, specifically:

• Insulation with a density of 32-56 kg/m³
• High corrosion resistance
• The ability to treat almost any area and any geometric shape
• Minimal thermal conductivity and high insulation capacity
• Excellent frost resistance
• Minimal sensitivity to aggressive environments and microorganisms
• Ability to withstand high temperatures
• Easy recovery and repair of damaged areas
• No harmful emissions during application
• Lifespan of at least 30 years

In conclusion, polyurea has proven to be a versatile and highly effective material for insulation applications in various industries. Its superior thermal insulation properties, resistance to environmental factors, and ease of application make it an ideal choice for insulating roofs, tanks, and pipelines. By providing long-lasting protection and minimizing heat loss, polyurea contributes to energy efficiency and cost savings while ensuring the durability and longevity of critical infrastructure. As technology continues to advance, the applications of polyurea in the field of insulation are expected to expand, solidifying its position as a leading material for thermal protection in the 21st century.
