Brussels – Belgian polyurethane foam company Recticel, has announced a "breakthrough technology" in rigid polythene insulation boards.
The company which is keeping details close to its chest, said the technology can produce boards with a thermal conductivity of 0.019 W/mK. This is 13% better performance than existing products, Recticel added.
Called Xentro the product will soon be commercialised in cavity and floor applications, the firm said.
