Objective

Today, most European steel manufacturers supply expanded polyurethane core sandwich panels for insulating building applications. However, the use of polyurethane cores will most likely be banned in the future due to the tightening of European fire resistance and environmental regulations: thus it is essential to develop new sandwich panels with mineral wool core. The development of these new products is not easy due to the lack of data and methods related to the forecast of the durability. This methodology will make the development of long-term durable panels possible.
