Cooperating to enhance product performance

Wiskind has teamed up with the world's largest chemical company, BASF to jointly develop a new generation of PIR sandwich insulation panel, which adopts the internationally advanced six component online foaming technology. The dense foam is fully bonded with the surface material to form an uninterrupted heat shield, effectively blocking heat conduction with an excellent thermal insulation performance.

Applicable to working temperatures of -170℃~+150℃, the advanced fluorine-free pentane foaming process is able to better protect the ozone layer of our planet from damage.

Pir material features

Pir material features

One of the main raw materials of PU insulation core material is PU rigid foam combined with polyether, also known as white material, and together with polymeric MDI, they are collectively known as black and white materials. How the PU foam insulation panel insulates heat relies on closed-cell foaming, which isolates air into tiny bubble units, and achieves thermal insulation effect by reducing airflow. Currently, it is the material with the lowest thermal conductivity among all thermal insulation materials. Rigid PU foam panel possesses low thermal conductivity and excellent thermal performance. When the density is 38-42kg/m³, the thermal conductivity stands only at 0.018-0.023w/m·k. The closed cell rate of rigid PU is above 95%, making it a hydrophobic material.


It will not increase the thermal conductivity due to moisture absorption, and the wall will not easily seep water. PU is a flame-retardant material after adding flame retardant. When burning, a carbonized layer is formed on the surface, which helps isolate the underlying foam, effectively prevents the spread of fire, and produces no harmful gases at high temperatures. The pores of the PU material features a closed-cell structure, which is stable in structure, resistant to deformation, freezing and thawing, and not easy to crack, while insulating and absorbing sound, with a service life of over 30 years

Environmental protection concept

Environmental protection concept

Our BMB biomass-balanced polyurethane sandwich panel product is the first polyurethane sandwich panel in Asia to receive ISCC PLUS certification, offering lower carbon emissions, greater environmental protection, and a distinct green attribute to our products.

What is the difference between PUR and PIR?

PUR

PUR is referred to as "polyurethane", and the fire rating of the foam is usually B3 and B2, as it is difficult for it to achieve B1. PUR is characterized by good adhesion, strong physical properties, simple production process, and outstanding panel flatness, but its fire rating is low with heavy combustion smoke.

PIR

PIR is referred to as "polyisocyanurate", AKA improved polyurethane material. It is very easy for the foam to achieve a fire rating of B1. PIR is characterized by excellent fire resistance, low smoke index, high oxygen index, better thermal performance, outstanding foam stability and complex process.
