...with all those involved in the project. “Our innovative material developments are due to support the dream of mobility without limits, powered by nothing else than renewable resources,” said Thomas. As an example he mentioned rigid microcellular polyurethane foam based on the Baytherm Microcell system. When used in the solar-powered plane, the microlight material provides for excellent insulation of the aircraft interior against the ice-cold or hot environment. Thomas stated that it came as no s...

...mal insulating capacity even further. The goal, among others, is to satisfy the requirements for the energy efficiency class A+++ and in this way achieve optimum productivity in the manufacturing of refrigerators (Fig. 5). With its Baytherm Microcell, Bayer MaterialScience has developed a new rigid foam system where the pore size can be reduced by up to 40 % compared to what is currently available. During development of the first generation of this class of foam material, the focus was strictly ...

...esearch activities of PU feedstock producers are focused on systems that provide even better insulation values that lead to optimum productivity in the manufacture of the cooling equipment. One product example is Baytherm Microcell (producer: Covestro). This PU system produces hard foams whose pores are up to 40 % smaller than those of previous systems, thereby improving the insulation performance by roughly 10 %. What’s more, it can be processed just as efficiently and economically as standard ...

... insulation performance of the foams and thus the efficiency of refrigerators; in the latter case this was accomplished through shorter molding times and filling densities, for example. One instance of such a PU system is Baytherm Microcell from Covestro. Its pores are up to 40 % smaller than in previous systems, a fact which boosts insulation performance by about 10 %. The PU system is now used by refrigerator manufacturers worldwide and is ideal for appliances that must meet high energy effici...
