Different Insulation Systems

Tiger Profiles produces foam insulated panels as follows: PUR – (Polyurethane): with 90% minimum closed cells (available upon request). Available in thicknesses from 30-250mm, rigid polyurethane (PUR) material is a cellular thermosetting insulation material that produces no flaming droplets during a fire and is self-extinguishing, which means that the core stops burning when the heat source disappears. Studies have also shown that a PUR panel that is fixed to the framework with a continuous mechanical fastener does not fail until the structural framework fails. PIR – (Polyisocyanurate): with 90% minimum closed cells. Available in thicknesses from 30-250mm, rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation is a type of polyurethane that has undergone significant material modification. In the event of a fire, the core chars on the exposed side; this charred layer then protects the rest of the core from the fire. This means that a panel with a PIR core is more resistant to fire than a PUR B2 core. It also emits less heat and smoke. Typical Foam Insulation Applications - Rigid polyurethane foam is a thermosetting plastic expanded to form a predominantly low-density cellular structure. - Rigid polyurethane foam is an exceptional thermal insulating material, also noted for its suitable physical properties such as mechanical and compressive strength, dimensional stability and water resistance. - Rigid polyurethane foam complies with the majority of structural, economic, and statutory requirements made on insulation systems in the building industry.

product properties :

• For the architects who seek optimization in their designs, polyurethane insulation offers numerous benefits:
• Extra space due to thinner insulation: with pitched roofs, the second layer, required by other types of insulation is unnecessary, and with flat roofs and floors the reduced height of the structure is an advantage.
• Increased scope for design because walls can be made thinner Savings in heating energy improve the quality of the environment Greater comfort and a better interior climate in buildings.
• Avoidance of cold bridges: Polyurethane foam’s ability to adhere to other building materials, facings, or coatings, also opens the door to a broad spectrum of applications ranging from insulating boards for roofs, walls, floors, and ceilings to self-supporting metal-faced sandwich panels.
• The light weight of polyurethane rigid foam board also provides an incentive for innovative lightweight construction techniques due to its ability – especially in the form of sandwich panels - to bridge wide spans.
• Below is a figure showing examples of the relative thicknesses of alternative building materials needed to match the thermal conductivity properties of rigid PU foam at 50mm. Mineral Wool Insulation
• We also produce panels insulated with Mineral Wool thicknesses from 30-250mm. Mineral fiber/stone wool insulating core materials are classified as A2-s1, d0 non-combustible and are reliable fire protection materials since they are both non-combustible and do not conduct heat. This means that it will not spread fire and can withstand temperatures above 1000ºC.
• When incorporated within a sandwich panel structure mineral fiber/stone wool insulating core materials are suitable for a range of applications where fire retardant properties are essential, for example, internal and external walls, ceilings, and partitions.
• Tiger Profiles sandwich panel cores are tested, approved, and certified against several standards including ASTM E 84, ASTM D1929, and EN 13165. for more details please contact our team or visit our website.
