Investigation of Heat Transfer for the Wall between Polyurethane Foam and Polystyrene

Abstract

In construction, polyurethanes are used to make high-performance products that are strong yet lightweight, perform well, durable and versatile. Polyurethane products can also help improve the aesthetic design of homes and buildings. Polyurethane is a key ingredient in several types of high-performance insulation materials, sealants and adhesives used in home and building construction. Here I will show the difference between using polyurethane foam and polystyrene using the example of a 1.5 m high wall and different widths depending on the thickness of the polyurethane.
