Products that will allow the polyurethane insulation properties to be better utilized in the construction industry

Reference number
Coordinator AKTIEBOLAGET POLYTERM ISOLERING
Funding from Vinnova SEK 400 000
Project duration August 2015 - November 2016
Status Completed

Purpose and goal

Find 1-4 segments with high potential, and to develop and customize the product. To achieve these goals, work has included the following activities: Assess market potential, costs, and risks of potential market segments. Investigate how the product should be adapted to meet the needs of each segment. Answer the questions about required tests, certifications and references. Investigate how the product should be designed/adapted to meet the needs of different market segments. Find ways to market. What strategy should be selected for the different market segments?

Expected results and effects

The most interesting segments are: Service buildings, storage room and garage adjacent to apartment buildings. -Module House care home. -Reconstruction of apartment buildings, for example the million programme areas. The product can be developed further, but is essentially for launch. However, additional product documentation, tests and certification primarily in fire protection, insulating properties compared to conventional insulation and moisture tests. An actual test has been carried out on the market with very good results. We have received requests for new projects

Planned approach and implementation

Our questions were ´Where on the construction market have polyurethane-based construction elements best chances´ as well as ´What product customizations, testings and certifications are required. 40 industry representatives - small house builders, contractors for apartment buildings, private consultants, clients, architects, testing institutes, etc. were in the reference group. The industry is moving towards individual parts to be fitted in place. This fits this product poorly. However, there are opportunities when many similar buildings are to be built in a short time.

The project description has been provided by the project members themselves and the text has not been looked at by our editors.
