PH Insulation has conducted tests on combined sandwich panels featuring two types of insulation: mineral wool and PIR Premier. The tests were carried out in PH Insulation’s production laboratory. The specialists evaluated the physical-mechanical and thermal-physical indicators: tensile strength, compression, shear modulus, thermal conductivity coefficient, and thermal resistance.
Testing results are available upon request.
A new type of sandwich panels will optimize the costs of constructing enclosing structures by combining the best qualities of the most popular insulation materials. Combined sandwich panels will feature the highest thermal conductivity of PIR Premier polyisocyanurate foam, reaching up to 0.0194 W/(m·K), along with the fire resistance of mineral wool up to EI 180. The company plans to produce combined sandwich panels with thicknesses ranging from 80 to 250 mm.
According to calculations by PH Insulation’s specialists from the Department of Technical Solutions and New Developments combined sandwich panel with a thickness of 100 mm will replace a sandwich panel with 150 mm of mineral wool in terms of thermal conductivity, while a combined sandwich panel with a thickness of 120 mm will replace a sandwich panel with 180 mm of mineral wool.
In terms of fire resistance, a combined sandwich panel with a thickness of 100 mm is expected to match the performance of a sandwich panel with 80 mm of mineral wool while being lighter.
For consultations on the application features of sandwich panels with PIR Premier, PUR Classic, and mineral wool, as well as combined sandwich panels, please contact the managers of the Commercial Department at PH Insulation.
