Technical structural insulation
Enable more durable structural insulation
Maintaining structural integrity in load-bearing applications
Structural insulation is a vital component of building envelopes, wind parks, and public transport applications. Due to their range of applications, their core material is expected to satisfy a wide range of codes and regulations – including temperature stability, recyclability, reaction to fire, lightweight, fatigue, thermal insulation, shear, compression, and water uptake. Our innovative PET-based structural materials offer comprehensive system solutions that address both structural and thermal requirements, providing strength, durability, and energy efficiency in a single component.
Prevent fire and toxic smoke generation
Structural insulation is commonly applied in markets with stringent fire safety requirements, such as railways and buildings. Insulation with passive fire protection (PFP) properties is crucial to prevent fires and toxic gases from spreading. PET-based materials have excellent fire-resistant properties, satisfying leading railway (EN 45545-2) and construction standards (EN 13501-1). The closed-cell structure of fire-retardant PET foam shows the lowest heat release and effectively prevents the emission of toxic smoke, such as HCN and irritant gases.
Minimize acoustic and impact levels
Acoustic insulation is essential for creating comfortable and quiet environments, while impact insulation helps mitigate vibrations caused by industrial applications or other sources. PET-based solutions offer excellent sound and impact absorption properties. The unique cellular structure of PET foam dissipates and absorbs sound waves and impact energy, minimizing noise transmission and vibration transfer, leading to enhanced acoustic comfort and improved overall functionality.
Energy-efficient composite sandwich structures
Energy-efficient composite sandwich structures are a powerful way of saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions. As a leading technology, PET-based foam utilizes post-consumer PET beverage bottles to produce high-performing structural foam. By recycling waste material into high-quality insulation resources, PET-based foam cores significantly reduce a project’s environmental impact. This allows specifiers to align with the growing standards for eco-friendly building materials.

Insulation is essential to the operational reliability of mechanical equipment. To avoid high maintenance, repair, and consequential costs, the technical performance and reliability of the installation must always be the deciding factor when selecting equipment insulation. Our comprehensive range of high-performing system solutions and products ensures long-term reliable results. Armacell materials allow for spot repairs, ensuring that if properly installed sections are damaged, they can be restored to their original efficiency. This extends the life of the insulation and reduces the need for costly full-scale replacements, significantly lowering maintenance and repair expenses over the lifetime of the insulation.
