Production of polyurethane rigid foam products
As rigid polyurethane foam (PU rigid foam) has the characteristics of light weight, good thermal insulation, easy construction, etc. It also has excellent characteristics of sound insulation, shockproof, electrical insulation, heat resistance, cold resistance, solvent resistance, etc. It has been widely used in aerospace, shipping, petroleum, electronic equipment, vehicles, food and other industrial sectors at home and abroad.
Lower density PU rigid foam is mainly used as heat insulation (insulation) materials, higher density PU rigid foam can be used as structural materials (imitation wood).
PU rigid foam has lower thermal conductivity than polystyrene and other foam and natural insulation materials, with excellent thermal insulation effect, and can be cast on site or sprayed into shape, combined with the insulation material into one, making the insulation effect better, therefore, in the field of thermal insulation, polyurethane foam is the material of choice, and the application is extremely wide.
In 2021, polyurethane products in the field of rigid foam in China are mainly distributed in industries such as refrigerators, freezers, pipes, automobiles, spraying, plates, refrigerated containers, water heaters and coal mine reinforcement. Among them, the production of polyurethane products in the refrigerator industry takes the first place, accounting for **% of the production of polyurethane products in the whole hard foam field; followed by the freezer industry, accounting for **% of the production of polyurethane products in the whole hard foam field.
