From specially developed lightweight components to sustainable recycling solutions, PUR can be an important part of the wind power projects of the future.
- Very high insulating capacity
- High strength/weight ratio
- Torsional stability
- Temperature stability
- Chemical resistance
The use of PUR in the wind industry opens up new opportunities for innovation and efficiency.
The wind industry is at the forefront of the development of sustainable energy solutions, and with polyurethane (PUR) you have a versatile material available to support this mission. PUR not only enables the manufacture of lightweight components, but also opens up opportunities for recycling, which is crucial in working for a greener future.
Innovative use of PUR in the wind industry
By utilizing PUR, together with the wind industry, we can create specially developed elements that are adapted to specific needs in projects. The flexible material makes it possible to produce lightweight components that at the same time retain strength and durability. This weight saving is particularly important, especially in offshore projects where transport and installation can be challenging and costly.
An exciting possibility with PUR is its potential for recycling. With Dan-isoRECY, Dan-iso can offer the wind industry to develop elements of recycled PUR material, thus contributing to a circular economy where waste is minimized and resources are reused. This is not only an advantage for the environment, but also gives companies the opportunity to offer more sustainable solutions.
The future of the wind industry with PUR
The use of PUR in the wind industry opens up new opportunities for innovation and efficiency. From specially developed lightweight components to sustainable recycling solutions, PUR can be an important part of the wind power projects of the future.
We look forward to working with wind industry experts to exploit the benefits of PUR in future projects. Together we can contribute to a more sustainable and efficient energy future.
Polyurethane products
Work with polyurethane foam
Rigid polyurethane foam (PUR foam) is a thermosetting plastic known for its safe handling and use. This material has a number of advantages that make it a popular choice in various industrial and construction applications. One of the most notable features of rigid PUR foam is its ease of handling. It can be easily cut, shaped and adapted to different applications without the need for advanced equipment or technical skills. This makes it suitable for DIY projects as well as professional applications.
PUR foam is also known for its low weight in relation to its strength and insulation properties. This makes it easy to transport and install, while providing excellent insulation, making it ideal for insulating walls, ceilings, floors in buildings, as well as pipes and technical installations.
Another important advantage of rigid PUR foam is its resistance to moisture and mold growth. This makes it a reliable choice in wet rooms and other environments where humidity can be a concern.
Finally, PUR foam is known for its energy efficiency. It provides excellent thermal insulation, which helps to reduce energy consumption and maintain comfortable temperatures indoors. This makes it a greener choice, as it can help reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Overall, rigid polyurethane foam is a versatile and reliable material that combines ease of handling, strength, insulation and durability. It is a favorite in the building and construction industry and provides an effective solution for a wide range of applications.
Safety when foaming polyurethane foam
Working with ready-made foam does not require any special safety measures. The situation is different if the work consists of foaming polyurethane, i.e. produce polyurethane foam by mixing the raw materials isocyanate and polyol.
From August 24th 2023, appropriate training will be required before industrial or commercial use of products containing more than 0.1% by weight of isocyanates.
Only persons who have undergone special training may work with polyurethane foaming. The education is available at institutions for vocational education, e.g. AMU centers and technical schools.
Employers or self-employed persons who use the products themselves or weld must also have undergone the training before starting work. Everyone who works with isocyanate must undergo a two-day course. In addition, all employees who work with isocyanates in a way that may involve an increased risk of being exposed to the substance must in future complete a new AMU course on personal safety. The course has a duration of 1 day.
