THE WOODLANDS, Texas 鈥� 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Corporation (NYSE: HUN) announced that three of its TEROL庐 Performance Polyols from its Polyurethanes Division have received Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Environment certification. TEROL庐 250 and 649 polyols received inaugural certifications, and TEROL庐 563 polyol was re-certified to reflect increased recycled content. 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Polyurethanes became the first U.S. aromatic polyester polyol manufacturer to receive the designation in 2014.
鈥溊痔焯胒un88(中国区)官方网站 is committed to providing high-quality, sustainable materials that allow our customers to design their insulation products with confidence,鈥� said Les Yamato, Business Manager, TEROL庐 Polyols, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Polyurethanes. 鈥淩eceiving UL Environment recognition for TEROL庐 250 and 649 polyols is an important step, as we now offer certified systems house polyols in addition to our primary product used in polyiso boardstock applications.
TEROL庐 250 polyol contains an average of 64 percent recycled content, consisting of 36 percent post-consumer and 27 percent pre-consumer recycled material. It is recommended for use in all polyurethane and polyisocyanurate systems, as well as spray foam and pour-in-place applications. The high aromatic content and lower viscosity of TEROL庐 250 polyol allows for the use of lower flame retardant levels with excellent viscosity and fire performance results in finished B-sides, in small scale testing.
TEROL庐 649 polyol is 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 newest product for systems house applications. It contains an average of 16 percent bio-based material and 24 percent pre-consumer recycled material, and is targeted for use in next- generation blowing agent systems, but can also be used with hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), such as 245fa or 365mfc/227. The high functionality of TEROL庐 649 polyol allows for higher loading levels of the polyester, up to 100 percent of the polyol requirement. This can improve the performance of spray applied polyurethane foams in an array of testing protocols, particularly small scale fire testing, and can allow reductions in the amount of flame retardants required in the B-side of the formulation.
TEROL庐 563 polyol has been re-certified, increasing from 27 to 32 percent recycled content, and is primarily used in polyisocyanurate boardstock insulation applications. When properly formulated and processed, insulation panels produced with TEROL庐 563 polyol can pass the Factory Mutual 4450 Calorimeter and ASTM E-84 Tunnel tests.
UL verified 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 pre-consumer recycled, post-consumer recycled and renewable resource content claims by reviewing the company鈥檚 manufacturing practices and raw materials sources. 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 is working to secure certification for additional polyols, which allows customers to design their insulation products with confidence and meet preferred purchasing protocols.
乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 offers one of the broadest ranges of aromatic polyester polyols for rigid foam applications, with hydroxyl values ranging from 120 to 350. Additionally, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 customized polyol solutions can meet the most demanding insulation applications.
