Ziel

MANY INSULATING MATERIALS ARE ALREADY COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET BUT PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. MOST OF THESE INSULATION MATERIALS ARE INFLAMMABLE, PRONE TO HUMIDITY AND WATER VAPOUR AND THEIR INSULATION PROPERTIES DETERIORATE WITH TIME.

THE PROBLEM OF INFLAMMABILITY WAS TACKLED BY MARCOUSSIS, FRANCE WHICH DEVELOPED A NON-INFLAMMABLE, GLASS FIBRE REINFORCED, INSULATING FOAM OF THE TYPE NOVOLAQUE (PHENOLIC-RESINS). THIS FOAM IS PRODUCED WITHOUT ACID CATALYST (THUS AVOIDING CORROSION) AND CAN BE PRODUCED IN A CONTINUOUS PROCESS. DIFFERENT PROPERTIES (DENSITY, POROSITY, THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY, MECHANICAL PROPERTIES) OF NOVOLAQUE HAVE BEEN TESTED AS A FUNCTION OF DIFFERENT ADDITIVES. THE BEST MATERIAL UP TILL NOW HAD A DENSITY OF 80 KG/M3 AND A THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF 0,04 W/M DEGREE K. THE MATERIAL WAS INFLAMMABLE ONLY UNDER VERY EXTREME CONDITIONS. THE COST PER M3 OF PHENOLIC FOAMS WITH A DENSITY OF 80 KG/M3 IS 1,25 HIGHER THAN POLYURETHANE WITH A DENSITY OF 40 KG/M3 AND 5 TIMES HIGHER THAN POLYSTYRENE WHICH NORMALLY HAS A DENSITY OF 20 KG/M3. TO IMPROVE ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY PHENOLIC RESINS WILL HAVE TO BE DEVELOPED WITH A LOWER DENSITY.

CONTRACT NUMBER : EE-A2-067

IN A FOLLOW-UP CONTRACT PHENOLIC FOAMS WITH DENSITIES OF 40 KG/M3 HAVE BEEN OBTAINED. A MANUFACTURING LINE FOR PANELS OF 0,3 X 3 M WAS BUILT AND SUCCESFULLY TESTED.
