Foam Techniques’ Insulation Solutions Deliver Energy Efficiency Gains
Manufacturers of products requiring both acoustic and thermal insulation are turning to Foam Techniques Ltd in Wellingborough, the leading manufacturer of flexible foam insulation components, to ensure maximum product performance and energy efficiency, reducing the environmental impact.
Neil Blythe, Joint Managing Director, commented: “As technologies develop to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels in favour of more environmentally-friendly alternatives, thermal and acoustic insulation plays an important role in overall product performance, making products thermally and acoustically more efficient.”
Foam Techniques produces specialist insulation components for a wide range of applications, including household heating and cooling systems, such as air to water heat pumps and for air conditioning units. Melamine-based foams, for example, are widely used in the manufacture of solar panels and as a thermal insulation layer within domestic and commercial heating systems. These products are perfectly suited due to their Class O fire performance certification, light weight and their excellent thermal insulation and sound absorption properties.
The company’s specialist, closed-cell polyethylene thermal insulation foam products are used within commercial installations, such as food chillers and air conditioning units to reduce sweating and condensation. They are also used within bus, rail and coach floors to prevent the transfer and loss of heat and/or the retention of lower temperatures, ensuring maximum efficiency.
In addition, Foam Techniques has developed a range of non-woven, light weight flexible materials which are ideal for installation around water tanks, offering high levels of thermal insulation at low thicknesses. Using technologies already widely used in the automotive industry, Foam Techniques’ solutions can be engineered to achieve many design objectives in the fast developing field of environmental engineering.
It’s not only Foam Techniques’ products that are helping to reduce the impact on the environment, this year the company is committed to achieving International Environmental Management Standard ISO 14001.
