What is BS EN 17101 - Moisture-curing one-component PU foams about?
BS EN 17101 is the European standard on thermal insulation products for buildings that covers moisture-curing one-component PU foams (1C-PU foams) dispensed from pressurized containers and used as adhesive foam.
BS EN 17101 specifies methods of identification and test methods for the performance evaluation of one-component PU foams used as adhesive foam.
NOTE: Other foams are not covered by BS EN 17101.
Who is BS EN 17101 - Moisture-curing one-component PU foams for?
BS EN 17101 on thermal insulation products for buildings is useful for:
- Manufacturers of thermal insulating materials
- Personnel of energy supply systems in buildings
Why should you use BS EN 17101 - Moisture-curing one-component PU foams?
PU adhesive foam is the moisture-curing one-component polyurethane (PU) foam dispensed from pressurised containers.
BS EN 17101 navigates you through the test methods, specimen sizes, conditioning and test conditions and the number of measurements to evaluate characteristics of PU adhesive foam.
BS EN 17101 provides test apparatus and test procedure to test foam density, tack-free time, cutting time, post-application expansion behaviour, cohesion strength and shear strength.
Overall, BS EN 17101 could help you in the formation of one-component polyurethane foam that helps in reducing total infrastructural costs by minimizing energy consumption in buildings. In this manner, you get one-component polyurethane foam that is easily available, affordable, durable, and considered a cost-effective and safest option for energy conservation, leading to a reduction in carbon emissions.
