isolationsmaterial
Isolationsmaterial refers to any material used to reduce unwanted transfer of heat, sound, or moisture between spaces or components. It is installed to improve energy efficiency, comfort, and equipment performance. It comes in rigid boards, batts, blankets, foams, wraps, or aerogel blankets, and may be applied to buildings, pipes, vessels, or machinery. It can be natural, synthetic, or composite.
Common types include mineral wool and fiberglass, which provide fire resistance and sound insulation; plastics such
Key properties are thermal conductivity (k-value) and, in North America, R-value, along with mechanical properties like
Applications span building envelopes for roofs, walls, and floors; ductwork and piping insulation; refrigerating appliances; hot
Considerations include environmental impacts such as embodied energy and end-of-life disposal, recyclability, and potential VOC emissions.
Standards involve testing methods for thermal conductivity, fire safety, and moisture resistance, with references in ISO,
