Armacell introduces the first new low-density structural insulating foam based on 100% recycled PET

Engineered foam supplier Armacell has officially launched ArmaPET Eco50, a new low-density structural insulation foam based on 100% recycled PET, which the company uses for structural insulation of building envelopes, roofs and floors, and under-board insulation New solutions for load-bearing applications such as the construction of new buildings and the renovation of old buildings
.

ArmaPET Eco50 is reportedly the first polymer foam insulation based on 100% recycled PET (and can be recycled at the end of its useful life) to improve environmental conditions while meeting the stringent demands of building construction
.
A member of the ArmaPET Eco product family, ArmaPET Eco50 is Armacell's low density product optimized for energy efficient structural applications
.
It combines mechanical stability, low maintenance requirements, standard compliant fire performance and guaranteed lifetime insulation performance in an environment that can effectively improve life cycle costs and a building's carbon footprint
.

ArmaPET Eco50 has a density of 50 kg/m³ and an insulating performance of 0.
028 W/mK at 40°C
.
The water resistance and closed-cell structure of the foam ensure stable thermal conductivity and provide long-term corrosion protection, as well as protection against moisture penetration, mildew and rot
.
A wide range of product thicknesses (up to 200 mm thick) and flexible dimensions make ArmaPET Eco50 easy to install
.
Additionally, it is lightweight, durable and highly compatible with organic and mineral binders for easy handling
.

Armacell PET Foam Marketing Manager Henri Chapelle said: ArmaPET Eco50 was originally designed primarily for building and construction applications and can be extended to any application requiring structural insulation
