Bayer MaterialScience Polyurethane Composite System Achieves Better Thermal Conductivity Rating Than Aluminum or Steel in Fenestration Applications
Summary
We developed the Baydur PUL 2500 composite resin system to help those manufacturers make more highly insulating residential and commercial windows,” said Craig Snyder, market channel representative, Bayer MaterialScience LLC.“In addition to better conductivity ratings,” Snyder continued, “the Baydur PUL 2500 system also offers favorable flexural modulus characteristics critical to solid framing materials.Sustainability is central to Bayer MaterialScience LLC’s business and is based around the key areas of innovation, product stewardship, excellence in corporate management, social responsibility and respect for the environment.### Pittsburgh, PA, October 21, 2010 --( PR.com )-- Bayer MaterialScience LLC’s Baydur® PUL 2500 polyurethane glass-reinforced resin system for pultruded window frames and stiffeners is far more insulating than aluminum and steel, tests show.The thermal conductivity of the Baydur PUL 2500 resin system is listed in the National Fenestration Rating Council’s (NFRC) most recent publication of thermophysical properties.NFRC is a neutral, non-promoting, non-profit organization that administers the only nationally recognized, uniform independent energy rating and certification programs that provide fair, accurate and credible information on fenestration performance – the energy-saving effectiveness of windows, doors, tubular daylighting devices and skylight products.
