One of the first uses for NOPs (other than castor oil) was to make spray-on polyurethane foam insulation for buildings. [17] NOPs are also finding use in polyurethane slab foam used to make conventional mattresses [8] as well as memory foam mattresses. [18] [19] The characteristics of NOPs can be varied over a very wide range.
A water heater insulation blanket can make your water heater more efficient. This fiberglass insulation blanket insulates your tank, keeping the heat in. That way, it doesn’t need to run as ...
An assortment of polyurethane foam products for cushioning and insulation. Polyurethane foam is a solid polymeric foam based on polyurethane chemistry. As a specialist synthetic material with highly diverse applications, polyurethane foams are primarily used for thermal insulation and as a cushioning material in mattresses, upholstered furniture or as seating in vehicles.
A foam is considered open-celled if at least two of its facets are holes rather than walls. [18] In this case the entirety of the load on the foam is on the cross-beams that make up the edges of the cell. [6] If no more than one of the walls of the cell are holes, the foam is considered closed-celled in nature. [18]

Building impacts belong to two distinct but interrelated types of carbon emissions: operational and embodied carbon.Operational carbon includes emissions related to the building's functioning, such as lighting and heating; embodied carbon encompasses emissions resulting from the physical construction of buildings, including the processing of materials, material waste, transportation, assembly ...
Urea-formaldehyde insulation. Urea-formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI) commercialisation dates to the 1930s as a synthetic insulation with thermal conductivity of 0.0343 to 0.0373 W/m⋅K, [13] equating to U values for 50 mm thickness of between 0.686 W/m 2 K and 0.746 W/m 2 K or R-values between 1.46 m 2 K/W and 1.34 m 2 K/W (0.26 °F⋅ft 2 ...
