Issue 48/2013 - Huntsman polyurethane solutions help insulate pipes

On November 22, at the "Huntsman Polyurethane Pipe Insulation Technology Seminar and Exchange Conference" held in Tianjin, Huntsman, the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals, demonstrated its advanced polyurethane products, technologies and solutions
.

In recent years, the global demand for energy has continued to grow, and investing in effective, environmentally sustainable supply infrastructure has become increasingly important
.
Thanks to its light weight, excellent low thermal conductivity, excellent shear/compressive strength and adhesion, excellent corrosion and weather resistance, and flexible processability, polyurethane rigid foam is widely used in the field of energy-saving insulation, and one of the most favored areas is the piping
of central heating and cooling systems.
In addition, it can be used in on-road and subsea oil pipelines in the oil and gas industry, industrial pipelines in chemical plants and refineries, etc
.

In the application of prefabricated thermal insulation straight pipes, Huntsman can provide a wide range of polyurethane solutions, with low thermal conductivity, low infusion density and uniform density distribution, a variety of foaming agent systems to choose from, more than 30 years of high temperature service life, suitable for 6~16 meters length of insulation pipe production, low viscosity, convenient and efficient operation, the use of special polyol formula, the pipeline meets the fire rating, suitable for high pressure and low pressure foaming equipment two systems, It meets the advantages
of EN253 and EN448 standards.

At the event, Huntsman also showcased its advanced spray polyurethane insulation pipe system and insulation hose
.
Spray insulation polyurethane system foam quality, flat plane, up to 100 mm thickness per spray, suitable for pipes with a wide range of insulation densities, especially medium to large
diameters.
It is worth noting that spraying insulated pipes also has significant economic advantages, such as the use of thinner housings and shorter set-up times when changing pipe diameters, which is beneficial to improve production efficiency
.
Huntsman insulation hoses use a special polyurethane system that unifies high flexibility and heat resistance, enabling customers to tailor solutions
to meet specific equipment requirements.
