In time for the BAU 2015, Ensinger is introducing a new
product classification system for its insulbar insulating
profiles used in windows, doors and facades.
The requirements imposed on insulating profiles for modern
windows, doors and facades are varied. To meet these needs,
Ensinger offers application-specific solutions made of TECATHERM
special-purpose plastics, for example for extreme mechanical loads,
particularly efficient thermal separation, sustainability or fire
protection:
“The new classification system we have introduced for our products
depending on their specific fields of application helps support
customers in choosing the right insulating profile”, explains Frank
Killinger, Head of Sales for insulbar at Ensinger. “Because with the
right material properties, even the most challenging tasks can be
reliably addressed with insulbar using individually adjusted
dimensions and shapes.”
In future, the product classification will indicate the relevant
application emphasis:
insulbar High Performance: withstands high levels of
mechanical stress
High Performance profiles come with impressive mechanical
properties and are used wherever high loading capacities and
rigidity are called for. Alongside the glass fibre-reinforced universal
profile insulbar REG for all customary applications, insulbar also
offers insulbar LGF, which is based on particularly long glass fibres
for enhanced strength and rigidity – ideal for facade press-on or
glass holding profiles.
insulbar High Efficiency: highly efficient thermal separation
insulbar LEF insulating webs with applied Low-E film are a highly
efficient, easy-to-process alternative to insulating foams, and
guarantee outstanding Uf values. These profiles set a whole new
standard in thermal separation – particularly in the low-energy and
passive house sector.
insulbar High Sustainability: the green and sustainable choice
insulbar RE made from 100% recycled polyamide saves energy and
precious resources right from the manufacturing stage. This is also
confirmed by the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which
is a major benefit when calculating the life cycle assessment of ecocertified
buildings. insulbar RE insulating profiles also save
substantial costs and energy in application.
insulbar High Resistance: showing flames the cold shoulder
insulbar FS (Fire Stop) profiles offer the ideal solution when it
comes to thermally separated energy-saving fire protection systems
such as those required to be used in public buildings. These fire
protection profiles are reinforced by continuous fibres, and have
flame retardant and non-melting properties.
Ensinger also offers a range of additional profiles for special
requirements: For instance insulbar ESP with optimized
electrostatic properties for improved powder attraction when coated
as an assembly, or insulbar LUB, the self-lubricating glass fibrereinforced
profile for lock and bolt rods.
For those interested in finding out more, detailed information on
insulbar insulating profiles is available at the Ensinger trade fair
stand 430, Hall B1 or at www.insulbar.de.
