Polyurethane Insulation rom Dow Formuleted Systems offers better thermal insulation performance compared to traditional materials; minerl ‘wool allows more than 80% additional heat loss compared toPolyyrethones. ‘Aswuas the some thicknes of rulaon materi Sou Themellslason Wauiactuas 8 Sul Asocaton, LU "peal amb Tabor Merb’ alan’ publined March 2007 » Durability - Dow polurethone insulation continues t0 perform over the life of the building, resising damage from factors such os compression, sogging, woter vyopors, and air infiltration. Other materials including loss wool, rock wool, and cellulose fibers are all at risk ‘ofdamage rom these factors. » Water Resistance resists water intrusion more effectively than fiber-based Dow polyurethane insulation insulation materials » Versatility -Dow polyurethane insulation is lightweight ‘ond self adhesive. can be formed into virtually any shope without losing ony of its inherent insulation properties The insulation is ideal for use in both new ‘ond renovotion project constuction ard thas opphoations in roof wall ond oor »» Fire Resistant - Dow polyurethane insulation can be combined with construction elements to achieve fire ratings from globally recognized organizations including Loss Prevention Council (UK) and Factory ‘Mutual (USA). These systems allow our customers to ‘exceed fire sofety ond insurance requirements for @ wide range of applications in most regions. PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT WHILE SAVING ENERGY COSTS ‘Combat Climate Change Buildings are the single lorgast users of energy globally. In North America ond Europe, buildings consume 40% of energy, with 2/3 ofthat value used for heating and cooling Burning fossil fuels to generate energy oroduces carbon dioxide —o greenhouse gos that increases global worming cand brings about climate change. Aresponsible approach stars from reducing energy and resource demand, making i easier to meet that demand through more environmentally friendly sources. The simolest, most cost fective way to reduce demand is by improving the energy clficioney of buildings through thermal insulation In CO, terms 10% insulation improvement of 9 billion square feet of roofing area = planting 350 of frees = stopping 42.7 million cars for 1 year Keeping Energy Consumption and Costs Down Insulation is the most cost effective way to improve the ‘energy efficiency of buildings. A study by McKinsey & Associates identified building Insulation as the single highest return en investment among nearly 50 options for ‘greenhouse gos reduction. Greater energy ffciency means that less energy is needed fo warm or to cool buildings. And ths leads to lower fuel consumplion, lower ‘energy bills for the consumes, and fewer corbon Best of cll, Polyurethane Insulation Solutions from Dow Formulated Systems provide continuous energy and cost sovings for the life of the building without needing ony maintenance. The cost of installing the insulation will be paid back in just a few years through the savings made on ‘energy bills.Deine abit besten Frnt iinet tae 05 Helping to Achieve Energy Security Notural disasters, politics and even War, all poses a threat to supplies of fossil fuel. This has become a concern for ‘many countries that wont to make sure that their sources of energy are secure. Reducing energy consumption is the most important step in creating « secure, predictable future of energy sources. Lower Operating Costs and Extended Building Life Commercial ond industrial buildings without insulation waste energy and money. For buildings with climate control, polyurethane Insulation offers direct cos! savings. Buildings without climate control also offer © payback through the increased productivity of comfortable employees. Polyurethanes significantly reduce the femperalure exremes of non-insuated building, impacting ‘he produclily of employees and satisfaction of occupants APPLICATIONS OF POLYURETHANE INSULATION : DURABLE AND LONG LASTING PRODUCT Insulated Metal Panels Pre-engineered buildings constructed with polyurethane sandwich penels produced with Dow polyurethane systems offer fast insallation, reducing labor cosis and construction time, The pre-engineered panels help reduce on ste woste, and ensure the aucliy of installation, greatly ducing the rskofairleakage, cold bridging and inconsstentinsvltion. Insulated metal panels ore available for both roof and wall elements. Wall panels offer a thin profile due fo the high efficiency of polyurethane insulation, reducing the dimensional footprint of the building. Roof panels made from polyurethanes from Dow Formulated Systems are sturdy enough to allow foot traffic and greater loeds than olher insulation systems. The strong, lightweight structure ellows an increased spon between girders in Pre engineered buildings which saves sleel. Metal roofs consiructed of polyurethane sandwich panels significantly reduce unwanted noise generated by storms, thus increasing the comfort level of workers and cccupants Single ‘+ Fast on-site erection Manufactured Unit | + Faster project completion + More consistent quality in finished construction Low Thermal + Greater energy savings Conductivity + Less nsulaton hidkness required to achieve ‘any energy target ‘+ High degree of air tightness reduces convective losses Large Range of + Design ilexbiity Facings, + Attractive, value-adding ‘appearance to buildings High Strength + Lightweight panels at Low Density + Longer spans + Fosy to handle Style, Durability and Other Benefits Sandivich panels produced with Polyurethanes from Dow Formulated Systems are exremely durable, ard pariculerly Useful for upgrading he appearance of buildings in need of refurbishment, while improving heirthermal performance.
