Insulation material additional products: improve performance, expand applications

Thermal insulation material additional products refer to complementary products based on thermal insulation materials, used to enhance the overall performance of the thermal insulation system or expand its application range. These products play an important role in building energy efficiency, industrial insulation and special field applications, and are an indispensable part of the insulation material industry chain.

First, the classification and function of additional products of thermal insulation materials

Thermal insulation materials additional products mainly include interface processing materials, strengthening materials and functional expansion materials three categories. Interface treatment materials such as binders, interface agents, etc., used to improve the bonding performance between insulation materials and the base; Reinforcement materials such as mesh cloth, anchor parts, etc. are used to improve the mechanical strength of the insulation system; Functional extension materials such as waterproof breathable film, fire barrier, etc. are used to give the insulation system additional functional characteristics.

These additional products enhance the performance of the insulation system through different mechanisms of action. For example, the binder ensures the strong bond between the insulation board and the base through the dual role of chemical bonding and mechanical anchoring; By dispersing stress and limiting crack propagation, the grid fabric improves the impact resistance and durability of the insulation system. The waterproof breathable membrane blocks liquid water by selectively passing through water vapor, which not only ensures the drying of the wall but also improves the waterproof performance.

Second. Main application areas and typical cases

In the field of building energy efficiency, additional products are widely used in external insulation systems. Taking a high-rise residential project as an example, polymer binder and alkali-resistant glass fiber grid cloth, combined with expanded polystyrene board insulation material, make the building energy saving rate of more than 75%, while ensuring the safety and durability of the system.

In the field of industrial thermal insulation, additional products are mainly used for thermal insulation of high-temperature equipment and pipelines. A petrochemical enterprise successfully solved the problem of fixing the thermal insulation layer of high temperature pipeline by using high temperature binder and metal anchor, combined with aluminum silicate fiber blanket, and saved about 15% steam consumption annually.

In special applications, such as cold chain logistics, the use of waterproof vapor insulation film and special sealing tape, combined with polyurethane insulation board, effectively solve the problem of moisture resistance and sealing of the cold storage insulation system, so that the energy consumption of the cold storage is reduced by more than 20%.

Third, market status and development trend

At present, the market size of thermal insulation materials additional products continues to expand, with an annual growth rate of more than 10%. With the improvement of building energy efficiency standards and the increasing demand for industrial energy conservation, the market demand for high-performance, multi-functional add-on products is growing rapidly. Environmentally friendly and durable products have become the mainstream of the market, and new additional products such as nanomaterials and phase change materials have begun to enter the market.

Technological innovation promotes the development of add-on products in the direction of high performance and multi-function. For example, the development of self-cleaning interface agents, intelligent temperature control of phase change materials and so on. In the future, with the development of building industrialization and prefabricated buildings, prefabricated and integrated insulation systems will become a trend, which puts higher requirements on the performance and quality of additional products.

The development of additional products of thermal insulation materials not only improves the overall performance of the thermal insulation system, but also expands the application field of thermal insulation materials. With the advancement of technology and the promotion of market demand, additional products will continue to develop in the direction of high performance, multi-function and environmental protection, providing better solutions for building energy saving and industrial energy saving. Enterprises should increase investment in research and development, develop new products that meet market demand, and occupy a favorable position in the fierce market competition.
