Thermal insulation materials developed with cross-linked foaming technology

Country of Origin: South Korea
Reference Number: TOKR20180226002
Publication Date: 26 February 2018

Summary

A Korean company has specialized in heat insulating materials manufacturing since its establishment in 2005. The major products are thermal insulators developed with cross-linked foaming polyethylene in order to improve the products' characteristics regarding low moisture-vapor permeability, high resistance to water absorption and low density. The company, therefore, wishes to improve the technology with partners under commercial agreement with technical assistance and license agreement.

Description

A company is a Korean-based organization that has manufactured thermal insulator since founded in 2005. Heat insulating materials are commonly used in order to make the temperature steady by decreasing loss and gain of heat, especially in the walls and outdoors. 

Typical insulation tools are highly absorptive by water, which results in emission of heat. Since thermal insulator is supposed to prevent loss of heat to keep it warm, the company had research the technology in order to improve the functions of insulation materials. 

Cross-linked foaming technology is applied on manufacturing low emissive insulator that are utilized for exterior, interior, roof and ground heat insulations. It performs as chemical reactions are induced by pellet passing through the foaming furnace and producing heat. 

Since thermal insulation materials developed with a use of the company’s technology provide benefits of lighter weight and higher constructability than general products, the company prefers their partners to take cooperation with commercial agreement with technical assistance and license agreement for their technology to be commercialized with more advanced functions in international market.

Advantages and Innovations

The technology based on cross-linked foaming makes innovative features, such as

- Low heat transfer that leads to decrease energy loss due to efficient thermal insulation.

- Higher absorption of impact energy

- No absorbance and absorption by water

- Semi-permanent because it is not varied by chemicals

- Lighter weight and higher buildability.

Stage Of Development
