Enovate® for Insulation Foam: The Energy Efficient Advantage Exhibiting at UTECH 2006 in Maastricht
Brussels, February 7th 2006 - In the European Union, 40 percent of CO2 emissions originate through the use of energy in buildings. As the conservation of energy has become a top priority, Honeywell´s Enovate ® blowing agent for insulation foam offers a powerful solution and will be presented at this year´s UTECH show in Maastricht, the Netherlands, March 28th - 30th (Stand 1760).
The European Union´s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Services Directive have significantly raised the demands on insulation performance. Honeywell´s answer to these demands is Enovate® blowing agent, used for high performance polyurethane (PUR/PIR) foam insulation applications.
Enovate ® offers a variety of product benefits:
• Superior insulation
• Long Term Performance
• Meets Stringent Fire Tests
• Non-ozone-depleting
• Non-flammable
• Safety in use
These benefits translate into economic advantages for the end-user and ecological benefits for society. Reduced energy consumption due to better insulated buildings helps reduce overall cost and environmental impact.
Good fire performance of insulating material is a key safety measure and it enables building owners to save building insurance cost. Products based on Enovate ® meet the fire performance standards set by the United Kingdom´s Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) which are considered to be the most stringent fire standards across Europe.
As a global leader in HFC blowing agent technology, Honeywell has a long-term commitment to the polyurethane industry and is continuously investing in technology to enhance its product range to meet the ever-increasing demands on energy efficiency, safety and sustainability.
