Dämmplattenkern

Dämmplattenkern refers to the core material of an insulation board. This core is typically made of foam-like substances that are responsible for the insulating properties of the board. Common materials used for the Dämmplattenkern include expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), mineral wool, and polyurethane foam (PUR/PIR). Each material has distinct characteristics regarding thermal conductivity, compressive strength, moisture resistance, and fire behavior, influencing the overall performance of the insulation board. The density and cell structure of the core material are crucial factors in determining its R-value, which quantifies its resistance to heat flow. Manufacturers select specific core materials based on the intended application, such as building insulation, refrigeration, or industrial pipe insulation, to meet varying performance requirements and environmental conditions. The Dämmplattenkern is often encased in facings, which can be made of materials like aluminum foil, paper, or glass fiber, providing additional benefits such as vapor barriers or enhanced mechanical strength.
