  2. Polyisocyanurate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyisocyanurate

    The generalised chemical structure of polyisocyanurate showing the isocyanurate group. The polyols are abbreviated as R-groups.. Polyisocyanurate (/ ˌ p ɒ l ɪ ˌ aɪ s oʊ s aɪ ˈ æ nj ʊər eɪ t /), also referred to as PIR, polyol, or ISO, is a thermoset plastic [1] typically produced as a foam and used as rigid thermal insulation.

  3. Rigid panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_panel

    A multi-family residential building under construction with rigid panel exterior insulating sheathing. Rigid panel insulation, also referred to as continuous insulation, [1] can be made from foam plastics such as polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool.

  4. Polyimide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyimide

    Chemical structure of Kapton, a polyimide. Polyimide (sometimes abbreviated PI) is a polymer containing imide groups belonging to the class of high-performance plastics.With their high heat-resistance, polyimides enjoy diverse applications in roles demanding rugged organic materials, such as high temperature fuel cells, displays, and various military roles.

  5. Sandwich panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_panel

    A sandwich panel is any structure made of three layers: a low-density core (PIR, mineral wool, XPS), and a thin skin-layer bonded to each side. Sandwich panels are used in applications where a combination of high structural rigidity and low weight is required.

  6. Fire-safe polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-safe_polymers

    To achieve this, one can create an endothermic environment, produce non-combustible products, or add chemicals that would remove fire-propagating radicals (H and OH), to name a few. These specific chemicals can be added into the polymer molecules permanently (see Intrinsically Fire-Resistant Polymers) or as additives and fillers (see Flame ...

  7. Polyurethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane

    Polyurethane synthesis, wherein the urethane groups −NH−(C=O)−O− link the molecular units A kitchen sponge made of polyurethane foam . Polyurethane (/ ˌ p ɒ l i ˈ jʊər ə ˌ θ eɪ n,-j ʊəˈr ɛ θ eɪ n /; [1] often abbreviated PUR and PU) refers to a class of polymers composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links.

  8. Flame retardant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_retardant

    However, moulded plates which represent real world plastic products showed much lower leaching levels than extruded polymer granules. The impact assessment studies reconfirmed that the improper waste and recycling treatment of electronic products with brominated flame retardants can produce dioxins which is not the case with halogen free ...

  9. Grenfell Tower fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenfell_Tower_fire

    This foam insulation around window jambs acted as a conduit into the rainscreen cavity, which was faced with 150 mm-thick (5.9-inch) combustible polyisocyanurate rigid board insulation and clad in aluminium composite cladding panels, which included a 2 mm (0.079-inch) highly combustible polyethylene filler to bond each panel face together. As ...
