Committee:: PRI/72 - Rigid cellular materials
Categories:: Information management | Standardization. General rules | Cellular materials | Thermal insulation

Scope

This part of BS 5241 specifies the physical property and compositional requirements for externally sprayed PUR and PIR foams used for the thermal insulation of external surfaces and for positive buoyancy, e.g. small boats, buoys or pontoons, for surface applications.

Purpose

BS 5241-2 guidelines help you to manufacture high-quality PUR and PIR foam for use on external surfaces and positive buoyancy. This helps provide thermal insulation and buoyancy for small boats, buoys or pontoons.
