Polyurethane is formed by mixing an isocynate, such as ethylene biphenyl disocyanate (MDI) with a poly blend. These components are mixed to form a rigid, cellular foam matrix. The resulting materials is an extremely lightweight polymer with superior insulating properties. Insulation products, based on MDI, conserve energy in housing and commercial properties, and play a critical role in the food supply chain – keeping products at the right temperature in refrigerated vehicles, chiller cabinets and refrigerators. Polyurethane insulation products play an important role in addressing some of the emerging global megatrends, such as energy management.

Compared to other building materials, polyurethane insulation has the highest thermal resistance(R-value) at a given thickness and lowest thermal conductivity.

Use of polyurethane insulation products in residential and commercial buildings helps meet advanced energy codes, contributes toward green building certification and provides comfort to the building occupants.
