If installing refrigerated panels at your place of business, you have many options as to what kind of insulation is used. Many experts say that polyurethane is the best material to fill the panels. Here are some important facts about this type of insulation.
Benefits
To start with, polyurethane offers a much higher R-value. This means the rate of insulating industrial refrigeration panels in California is more efficient when compared to the same thickness as other types of insulation. You get more for your money. Polyurethane is renowned for its resistance to water, thus keeping moisture out of the area being refrigerated. When polyurethane is placed into the panels, it is injected. This means that it fills every available space within the panels. Other insulation materials are simply glued into place.
Permanent
Polyurethane insulation does not lose its effectiveness over time. Once it is in place, it is there permanently and fully effective for the life of the product. As long as the industrial refrigeration panels in California are made from non-permeable materials such as metal, the K-factor will not significantly change.
Environmentally Friendly
Polyurethane is not considered a toxic material. It does not deplete the ozone and also contains no volatile organic compounds. The insulation capability requires less energy which, of course, means fewer greenhouse gasses being emitted. Also, since the insulation lasts for hundreds of years, there is no need to replace it after a few years like with other materials.
