Abstract: Rigid polyurethane (RPU) foams are widely utilized in various industries due to their excellent thermal insulation properties, structural strength, and cost-effectiveness. Traditionally, tin-based catalysts, such as stannous octoate (Sn(Oct)₂) and dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL), have been the workhorses in RPU foam production. However, increasing environmental and health concerns associated with tin catalysts have spurred the...
Polyurethane (PU) rigid foam is a widely used insulation material in construction, refrigeration, and transportation industries. Polyisocyanurate (PIR) panels, a modified form of PU rigid foam, offer enhanced fire resistance and thermal stability, making them increasingly popular for building insulation applications. The performance and properties of PIR panels are significantly influenced by the selection of...
