Polinor and rodents. Instructions

The modern market for building and finishing materials offers a huge amount of insulation materials that differ in characteristics and performance. Polyurethane insulation Polynor is the most effective of modern materials, which is used for thermal insulation of a house.

Thermal insulation Polynor is a novelty in the Russian construction market. It is a sprayed polyurethane foam, which has excellent sound and thermal insulation characteristics, due to its composition, it consists of 90% air.

Moreover, it is extremely easy to install, which puts it an order of magnitude higher than other heat-insulating materials.

Unlike similar insulation materials, liquid insulation has the following advantages:

efficiency;

The energy saving coefficient, when the insulation is carried out by Polinor, is higher than that of such a popular mineral wool.

profitability;

For fastening, you will not need the construction of an additional frame or the use of waterproof and vapor barrier materials, and there is also no need for special devices and costs for delivery to the place of repair.

ease of installation;

One person can spray the material. Its application does not require time-consuming preparatory work, surface leveling, etc.

minimum consumption;

The question of how much insulation is needed can be easily answered. One liter of liquid is enough to create a four-centimeter insulation layer on a surface with an area of 1 sq. M.

At the same time, the cost of such insulation is noticeably lower than the same mineral wool, which will require many more additional materials (vapor barrier, waterproofing, lathing, fasteners, etc.)

excellent adhesion to any kind of materials;
biostability and absence of condensation.

Along with a large number of advantages of Polinor insulation, it also has some disadvantages:

the negative influence of the sun's rays on it;
collapses under the constant influence of water;
when applied, it needs a temperature of +15 to + 25 degrees;
dangerous for eyes and respiratory organs (use of a respirator and goggles is necessary).

Scope of application

The description of the insulation presents us with a modern, almost universal material, which has a fairly wide application as a finishing and insulation material, in particular:

for facades for finishing;
for foundations and attics;
for balconies;
for insulation of internal walls of a building, partitions in various buildings;
for isolation of communication systems;
in vehicles with isothermal functions.

As you can see, the application is extensive. And this is quite understandable, since the heat insulator has good performance properties, fits perfectly on any surface, is very flexible and is not subject to destruction, even if a crack appears on the surface. The material is non-toxic and perfectly absorbs sound and vibration waves.

Release form

Sprayed insulation has been known since 2013. It is a one-component, self-growing mixture with a closed-cell structure.

In hardware stores, this insulation is sold in cylinders similar to conventional polyurethane foam for a gun.

It is applied in the same way as construction foam. According to reviews, one cylinder is enough for a 5 cm layer of insulation on an area of one square meter. The manufacturer's instruction states that the service life, in the absence of exposure to negative factors, will be at least 35 years.

Installation features

Insulated cylinders must be kept in a warm room prior to use. This is an important point, since negative temperatures can adversely affect the characteristics of the foam insulation.

The thermal insulation mixture can be applied both to a clean surface and to the crate, it all depends on the chosen method of finishing the room. It adheres well to almost any material. Spraying is easy, even with the hands of a non-professional.

In addition to the walls and facades themselves, Polinor foam can easily insulate various communication pipes, caissons of wells and complex construction objects.

Before applying any insulation, including sprayed insulation Polynor, the surface is thoroughly cleaned of dirt and debris. If defects or damage to the surface are found, they should be repaired. For example, a crack in the wall cannot affect the insulation, but it may well spread under a layer of insulation. Therefore, it is better to immediately start repairing it with glue and cement composition.

Then the insulated plane is thoroughly degreased with special compounds. This must be done due to the fact that the Polinor insulation does not adhere well to the oily surface.

Then it is sprayed with an aerosol gun, to which a nozzle is attached to control material consumption and foam delivery.

A nozzle is installed on the barrel of the pistol, and then the pistol rod is screwed into the cylinder released from the cover. The balloon is ready for use.

Foam insulation is applied in a layer about 5 centimeters thick. The feed is regulated by the pressure on the trigger of the construction gun. The foam canister must be shaken every few minutes of use.

Do not forget about the precautions when using this insulation. It is imperative to use a respirator and goggles, as uncured insulation can harm the human body.

The composition applied to the wall is distributed over the surface, filling small cracks and irregularities, forming a dense foam layer, which hardens over time, creating a reliable insulation layer.

Interesting video on the topic:

For several years of use, the insulation Polinor has already managed to win admirers. Many professionals who have been using polyurethane foam for a long time preferred the new product. It is noted that it is extremely easy to install, fits perfectly on any surface and has good characteristics during operation. Thermal insulation is fast and at a high level.

It is also noted that the material is extremely toxic, so you should take precautions, protect yourself with special suits, gloves, respirators and goggles. If foam gets on the surface of the skin, rinse it thoroughly and consult a doctor.

Also, in consumer reviews, it is noted that the Polinor insulation is quite expensive in cost, but this factor should not be decisive when choosing a heater. The speed of application and excellent characteristics will allow you to save several times on heating the room in the future.

The material is extremely toxic, therefore precautions should be taken

Professionals also often prefer this material. Its light structure and ease of application can significantly reduce the time and cost of mounting insulation.

Comparison of insulation Polinor with Penoizol

Experienced builders and finishers have already dubbed Polinor insulation as a full-fledged replacement for liquid polyurethane foam. At the same time, the final price for surface insulation will be significantly lower than when using polyurethane foam. In addition, when installing PPU, it is necessary to use special equipment that needs to be transported, incurring additional monetary losses. Applying insulation in cylinders, everything is much simpler.

Experienced builders and finishers have already dubbed Polynor foam insulation in cylinders a full-fledged replacement for liquid polyurethane foam.

Among the characteristics are excellent vapor barrier. An analogue of polynor, polyurethane foam, is less conductive to steam and condenses moisture, in contrast to insulation in cans. This is especially important when insulating wooden houses.

Both materials are non-combustible, this is their similarity, but Polinor has the properties of steam permeability and moisture removal, while polyurethane foam demonstrates the worst characteristics for these properties.

In addition, polyurethane foam is a rather bulky material that requires shipping costs and additional application equipment.

Summing up, it should be noted that the modern insulation material Polinor is an excellent means for warming any surfaces, convenient, with good performance properties, which will last for many years if certain measures are taken to protect the thermal insulation layer.

The ease of installation and good consumption of material, as well as the consumer reviews left about Polinor, win over not only people who decided to do insulation with their own hands, but also experienced professionals who increasingly prefer this modern insulation.

POLYNOR (polynor) - can be compared with many materials and insulation, but we will focus on the most basic ones.

We consider the economy or the true cost of insulation

When choosing any product or building material, the question always arises regarding the price / quality ratio. I would like to do everything efficiently, relatively inexpensively and not return to this issue for a long time. When insulating, it is not enough to choose the insulation you like based only on the cost and its physical and chemical properties, but it is also necessary to understand what additional costs will arise during the work. Let's consider this using the example of traditional heaters: polynor, mineral wool, expanded polystyrene and polystyrene foam for an insulation area of 100m2.

The thermal conductivity coefficient of Polynor thermal insulation is 0,023 W / (m * deg.). This is the smallest indicator among the heaters listed above! The number of closed cells is 70%. Based on this and similar parameters for other heaters, the thicknesses necessary for insulation were determined, all other things being equal:

Mineral wool -15cm.

Accordingly, the required volume and cost of the material itself (at Leroy Merlin prices as of 05.12.2014):

Polynor - 5m3 (or 100 cylinders) X 325 rubles. = 32500rub.

Mineral wool (Ursa Terra 34PN, 50mm.) - 15m3. / 70 rubles per m2. 21000 rub.
Expanded polystyrene (URSA XPS, 50mm.) - 13m3. / 224rub. per m2. RUB 58240
Polyfoam (PSB-S15U, 1x0.6x0.03) - 15m3 / 36.3 rubles. per m2. 18150 rub.

Now let's move on to the second part of the question - additional costs for the installation of thermal insulation, the cost of work and the delivery of insulation to the construction site.

Transportation. Polynor is produced in 1 liter cylinders, covered area with a thickness of 5 cm. is 1m2. For 100 m2, you will need 100 cylinders or 9 boxes. Transportation costs are negligible compared to other comparable heaters. For their transportation, special transport is required.

Cost of work. Polynor is a high-tech material, there are no requirements for the preparation of the surface to be insulated, does not require lathing and vapor barrier, any person without special skills can apply PU foam insulation. As a rule, the prices of construction companies for work are 90-100% of the cost of the material itself, but this does not apply to the Polynor brand. You can apply it yourself or agree at your own discretion (maximum 30% of the cost of the material).

At Leroy Merlin prices as of 05.12.2014:

Izospan vapor barrier, roll 70m2-950rub / pc.

Hydro-windproof membrane Izospan AM, roll 35m2 - 30 rubles / m2.

Mounting glue Tytan Prof Classic Fix-139 rubles / piece.

The cost of materials for a thermal insulation device per 100m2

hydro windproof membrane

The cost of the required materials was calculated based on the amount of materials used:

Edged board: the distance between the lags is 1m. Board section: 0.02X0.08m. Cubic capacity: 100X0.02X0.08 = 0.16m3. Cost: 0.16m3Х7000 rubles. = 1120 rubles. 1a. This section of the board with Polynor insulation is necessary and sufficient to ensure the solidity of the entire insulated structure as a whole, excludes the temperature gradient, cold bridges and moves the dew point outside the insulated plane.
Lathing + counter-lattice: Cell format-0.6X1.2. With this format, the number of beams per 100m2 is 25pcs with a length of 10m. The section of the bar: 0.05X0.15m. Cubic capacity: 250X0.05X0.15 = 1.875m3. Cost: 1.875m3Х7000 rubles. = 13125 rubles.
Vapor barrier: Cost: 100m2-1360 rubles.
Hydro-windproof membrane: Cost: 105m2-3150 rubles.
Mounting glue: 17 pcs. X139 rubles = 2363 rubles.

Expanded polystyrene: PPS_OJSC JV "Tigi Knauf" _ GOST 15588-70_13 years
EPPS_NPP "Expol" _TU 2244-001-17953000-97_34 years
EPPS_ZAO "Khimich. Plant "_TU 2244-002-17953000-95_16 years
EPPS Flomeyt_ "Dow Chemical" _DIN 4108_37 years
EPPS Roofmate _ "Dow Chemical" _DIN 4108_40 years
Styrofoam: at least 30 years
Polynor: 45 years old

Thus, to summarize: we see that Polynor is located in the middle price segment between mineral wool and expanded polystyrene, but in the aggregate of all costs for arranging thermal insulation, durability and transportation, it is confidently in the lead.

Liquid insulation of the POLYNOR brand

The use of most heat and sound insulating materials in repair and construction work is associated with a rather complex installation technology that requires special tools and certain skills. An alternative solution to this issue was a fundamentally new liquid insulation POLYNOR, which stands out against the general background of its simplicity of use along with high operational and technical characteristics.

Insulation POLYNOR has a polyurethane foam base, which is a foamed polymer mass with a percentage of gases to solid particles in a ratio of 90:10. When interacting with air, this substance "swells" and hardens (like polyurethane foam), creating a dense, monolithic fine-mesh coating without the slightest cracks or gaps.

Due to its structure, the POLYNOR material easily penetrates into the most inaccessible places and is perfectly fixed on the surface of metal, wood, concrete or brick. The insulation is packed in aerosol cans with a capacity of 800–1000 mm in the form of a cream or pink plastic mass, which can be sprayed with a special assembly gun.

Liquid insulation POLYNOR has significant differences from its counterparts. First of all, this concerns its structure, namely, the percentage of closed and open cells (pores) in the solidified mass. This value is an important indicator affecting the degree of thermal conductivity, moisture absorption and water permeability of the material. Other sprayed insulation products can provide coverage with 30-40% closed cells, while POLINOR creates over 70% of these pores.

This material has the lowest thermal conductivity among insulators on the Russian market. For example, this indicator is 0.045 for mineral wool, 0.033 for expanded polystyrene, and 0.023 W / m2 * ° C for POLYNOR. It should be remembered that a substance with a lower degree of thermal conductivity has the best characteristics. This property of the insulation can significantly reduce its consumption - one container of the mixture is designed to process 1.2–2.0 m2.

Spray-on insulation POLYNOR can be used at ambient temperatures from -25 to +125 ° C. When heated to 450 ° C, it deforms in length by 85% and gets damaged by weight by 50%. The period of its self-burning is about 5 minutes. Other technical characteristics of the insulation are presented in the form of a table:

The environmental friendliness of the material allows it to be used in the thermal insulation of residential premises. POLYNOR has a high degree of adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces, is resistant to aggressive media, moisture and chemicals, and also has a low level of actual heat loss.

The new generation material POLYNOR - polyurethane insulation with excellent performance characteristics - is used in construction for heat and sound insulation of various objects. It is used in cases where it is necessary to quickly and at low cost to shelter the facade, loggia, veranda, attic, attic or basement from the cold.

This spray-on insulator is ideal for insulating an apartment, country house, cottage or industrial premises. It can be used to process utilities, systems and pipelines. Using POLYNOR in the design of refrigerated vans or insulated wagons, it is possible to significantly increase the insulating properties of these vehicles.

Application features

Before using POLYNOR for insulating a particular area, it is necessary to prepare the surface by carefully removing dirt, dust, grease and oil stains from it. Before starting work, the PPU cylinder should be left for some time in a room with an air temperature of +18 ° C. This is done so that the substance does not solidify - then the applied layer will be more uniform.

To prepare the POLYNOR for use, a special nozzle, which is included in the kit, is installed on the cylinder. Putting it on until it clicks, you need to remove the cover from the cross and attach a mounting gun, which is purchased separately. All actions must be carried out holding the package in an upright position. At the beginning of work and in the course of its execution, the cylinder should be well shaken.

Insulation is applied to the surface by spraying by pressing the trigger of the assembly gun. The maximum layer thickness should be no more than 500 mm. At the end of the work, the gun must be disconnected from the cylinder and its parts must be cleaned with a liquid solvent. Each package includes instructions for using the material with clear recommendations and explanations.

Three years ago, when the composition first appeared on the domestic market, many experts treated it with some caution. Today, most buyers leave only positive reviews about this product:

“I considered liquid insulation in cylinders as an option for insulating floors in the basement of my country house. I chose POLYNOR and was absolutely right. I decided to carry out the whole process independently and, frankly, did not even expect such a result. Imagine as many as 120 m2 of quality insulation in just four hours of work! I would like to emphasize the good adhesion of the material to the concrete base. "

“He insulated a standard balcony of 3.5" squares "in just an hour, and he spent three times less money than on mineral wool, which was suggested to be installed by a neighbor. POLYNOR has only one drawback - certain conditions are required for its application. The air temperature should not be lower than +15 ° C, if it is colder outside, then it foams worse and the consumption increases. "

Fedor Fedorovich, Ufa.

“We planned to order a team of specialists with equipment, but we thought about it and decided to do everything ourselves. Believe it or not, you have saved twice as much! We insulated the garage (the walls between it and the house), chose materials for a long time and, after reading reviews on the Internet, decided to buy a sprayed POLYNOR. It turned out very well, and most importantly - quickly and inexpensively. "

Ekaterina, Moscow region.

Pros and cons of insulation

Concluding the review, you need to once again list all the advantages of the innovative insulation of the POLYNOR brand:

1. Efficiency. The energy saving indicators of the material are higher than those of its counterparts.

2. Ease of use. POLYNOR does not require the installation of a frame structure.

3. Profitability. The insulation is packaged in small cylinders - this allows you to purchase the exact amount required for work.

4. Environmental safety in use and harmless in operation.

5. High performance. Insulation can be sprayed on an area of 1 m2 in just 15 seconds.

6. Durability. The service life of the material is at least 50 years.

7. Affordable cost. POLYNOR in cylinders costs 2.5 times less than the departure of a team of craftsmen with special equipment for standard insulation.

Of the shortcomings of the material, it is necessary to note the special temperature conditions (+ 15-25 ° C) for application, the fear of direct sunlight and destruction from constant contact with water. You can work with the composition only in goggles and a respirator.

A few words about the cost of goods - sprayed PPU POLINOR insulation (890 ml) in the central region of our country can be purchased at a price of 440 to 490 rubles per cylinder, depending on the volume of purchase. Perhaps it will seem too expensive to someone, but the reviews of most buyers confirm significant savings when working with a polyurethane foam heat insulator of the POLYNOR brand.

Sprayed insulation Polinor. Material properties and capabilities

“There is no bad thermal insulation, there is its misapplication. "

Hello dear visitors of my blog!

Today we will talk about insulation, namely, polyurethane foam of the Polinor brand. The process of applying a warm layer by spraying is unusual. However, it is practical and useful, as it makes it possible to independently "adjust" the thickness of the insulating layer in accordance with the need. And yet, it does not require special equipment to perform the work, as in this case. So, our topic is polinor sprayed insulation: characteristics and capabilities of the material.

Officially at first. Seamless insulation Rolynor (in Russian - Polinor) is a one-component polyurethane foam that is applied by spraying. Purpose - surface thermal insulation. An assembly gun with a special plastic nozzle is used as a tool. The substance itself is in disposable cans of a standard volume.

In this article, you will learn:

Scope of application

I’ll probably call this insulation “folk”. Why? Because working with it does not require special knowledge, and therefore the search for third-party performers. If we are talking about small "private" volumes of insulation, then you can do it yourself.

Polinor is used for insulation:

External and internal walls of residential and non-residential premises built from almost any building material;
Floors with a so-called non-load-bearing structure and cavities between the joists;

Just in case, I will clarify - he (Polinor) has an orange-pink color.

Advantages and disadvantages of Polynor

Let's start with the good:

Installation is simple in comparison with other heaters, which does not require the arrangement of the frame and other materials (isospan film, glue, fasteners, reinforcing mesh, etc.);
Convenience when working in places with difficult access, complex geometry of the surface to be covered, as well as in confined spaces;
The technological process of applying Polinor does not require special equipment and electricity;
Excellent adhesion to various materials (brick, wood, foam concrete, metal, glass, etc.);
One of the best (among other traditional heaters) thermal conductivity;
Coverage speed. To apply an insulating layer of 1 m², 1-2 minutes is enough;
Low consumption. One 1000 ml cylinder is enough to cover 1 m² with a layer thickness of 5 cm, and thanks to the compact packaging, you can always buy it without surplus;
Polymerization (hardening) occurs within an hour. After that, a coating (paint, plaster, etc.) or other protection can be applied to Polinor;
Long service life, according to the manufacturer's statement, from 35 to 50 years;
Environmental Safety. During operation, it does not emit harmful substances;
In addition to thermal insulation, it provides sound insulation and does not condense;
Disliked by rodents, insects, fungal mold and other biological activity.

Here's how many useful and convenient things. Now I will say about disadvantages:

Low resistance to direct sunlight, as well as polyurethane foam is "afraid" of ultraviolet radiation;
Fragility with regular contact with water;
Limited temperature conditions during installation. The temperature of the cylinder at the time of the process should be in the range from + 18 ° to + 35 ° C. In this case, application is possible up to t = - 20 ° C.
Work toxicity. Therefore, the use of personal protective equipment: masks, respirators, skin cover is mandatory;
Difficulty in applying a uniform layer thickness. The result is the risk of obtaining non-uniform thermal conductivity of the treated coating. But with experience, the quality of the uniformity of the spraying increases;
Limitations on the thickness of the application of a layer of 6 cm (this is the manufacturer's recommendation);
Polinor is not hygroscopic, therefore it creates a surface sealing, which excludes its "breathing", and hence the ability to absorb vapor;
The insulation is sold in cylinders, for which you need to separately purchase a construction gun with a special nozzle. If the pistol or attachment is lost (broken), you will have to buy a new one. Without it, a quality process cannot be performed (as the manufacturer claims).

At the end of this question, it is necessary to mention an important point - the flammability of Polinor. It belongs to the so-called self-extinguishing materials, but this is only in the absence of direct and constant exposure to fire. Its flammability class is G3 (i.e. medium combustible).

Well, one more point announced by the manufacturer: in the world and in Russia, analogues POLYNOR are not produced. Whether it's good news or not, it's which side to look at. But how balanced the pros and cons of the material is for you to judge.

Comparison characteristics

Everything is learned by comparison, right? Therefore, in addition to Polinor, his potential rivals for our wallets are indicated. We look at the table and compare.

I don't know about the others, but Polinor's insulation will cost about 400-450 rubles per square meter. Of course, there are not a few more indicators here. However, I decided not to bother your attention. I think this is sufficient. But. there is one more important point - the price. It would be correct to name the price for a "rough" heat-insulating coating with an area of 1 sq. M. m.

I hope the information presented looks objective and will be useful to someone.

Parable about roof insulation on your own: There was a pitched roof and one day she decided to insulate herself with her own hands. But back and forth, hands do not reach all the time. Then the roof decided to become flat. And she did. And soon winter came, snow fell, then more, more and more. As a result, the flat roof was insulated without the help of hands.

That's all for now. Read and subscribe to the blog, recommend to friends.

Good luck and light spraying! See you in the following articles.

Quote of wisdom: Women without a male society fade, and men without a female become stupid.

Insulation Polinor: price and specifications

Polinor, which has become a novelty in the market of thermal insulation materials, is a modern version of foam rubber produced by the Kazan plant "KhimStar". The excellent heat-saving qualities of this material have been known for a long time. Foam rubber was used for insulating partitions and entrance doors, filling mattresses, etc.

Sprayed insulation Polinor

For thermal insulation of flat surfaces (for example, walls, partitions, etc.), roll or flat materials are usually used - felt, mineral wool, basalt slabs, etc. building blocks and slabs)? Here will help you sprayed heat insulator POLYNOR.

Description

Polinor is produced in liter aerosol cans containing a homogeneous polymer mass sprayed with a special pistol. Polyurethane foam, interacting with oxygen molecules, swells and creates a fine-mesh, dense coating without cracks and gaps, that is, it works like a polyurethane foam. The drug, having a liquid structure, easily penetrates into hard-to-reach places and small cracks, thereby ensuring complete sealing of the treated surface.

Polinor for a number of indicators far superior to others, similar thermal insulation materials.

Advantages and disadvantages of Polinor insulation

Dignity

disadvantages

Does not tolerate direct sunlight;
it collapses under the influence of water;
when applied, it requires strict adherence to the temperature regime (15-20 degrees above zero).

Scope of use

Sprayed insulation Polinor used for heat and sound insulation:

Specifications

In appearance, Polinor is a homogeneous viscous mass of gray, red, pink, beige, orange or white.
thermal insulation density is at least 18-28 kg / m3;
thermal conductivity coefficient at an average temperature of 50
° 0.023-0.025W / m2;

since the insulation is an elastic foam, shear or compression failure is insignificant;
the actual heat loss of Polinor is 1.5-1.7 times lower than the norm;
the heat insulator is resistant to various chemicals (soap solution, sea water, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, etc.).

Mounting

The working surface itself is prepared: it is cleaned of dirt, dust, various stains and extraneous layers. Only in this case the level of adhesion (adhesion) of Polynor will be maximum.

Polyurethane foam application scheme:

The prepared, cleaned surface is moistened.
The contents of the can is shaken thoroughly.
A special nozzle is put on and the gun is installed. The spray layer depends on how hard you pull the trigger.
After the end of the work, the remnants of the material are cleaned out using a special cleaner.

The cost of the material is one of the main arguments when choosing a heater.

The average price of 1 cylinder Polinor (1 l) - 450 rubles... Cleaning fluid and gun sold separately.

Polinor compares favorably with its counterparts, including sprayed ones, by economical consumption of the spray composition and the absence of costs for the purchase of expensive auxiliary equipment.

In general, this heat insulator is easy justifies all the costs for its purchase and installation. And thanks to its qualities, it can rightfully be called an ultra-modern innovative material for thermal insulation.

Insulation Polinor: technical characteristics, application, advantages and disadvantages, installation features

The issue of creating effective thermal protection at home is now more relevant than ever. This is dictated by the rise in the price of energy resources and the desire of developers to equip a comfortable home in which it would be comfortable to spend time for the whole family. The choice of heaters is rather big, so that the purchase does not disappoint, it is suggested that you familiarize yourself with the technical characteristics and rules for using this or that insulator. The article will focus on a new type of heat-shielding material - Polinore.

Polinor is a type of insulation that is produced in cylinders. A polyurethane foam product with a one-component composition, when released from the container, forms cells filled with carbon dioxide. The structure of the insulator is unique, it has a low thermal conductivity (within 0.028 W / m K). The product is packaged in small cylinders, which creates certain convenience when performing installation work.

The peculiarity of Polinor is the absence of analogues. In appearance, the product is similar to polyurethane foam, but the structure of the materials and their properties are different.

Reference! Due to its physical properties and qualities, a 45 mm thick insulation layer made of Polinor replaces the following popular insulators: polyurethane foam polyurethane foam - 60 mm, expanded polystyrene PPS - 130 mm, cork - 140 mm, mineral wool 150 mm.

Technical characteristics of insulation Polinor

Resistance to moisture, aggressive environments;

Hygroscopicity - no more than 0.03% per day;

A large number of closed cells - about 70% (this is a unique indicator for a one-component polyurethane composition);

The upper limit of the high temperature is 121 ° С;

Heat insulator consumption - 890 ml is required per 1 m2 when applying a layer of 5 mm.

Application area

Facades of houses, plinths with subsequent facing with plaster mixture or panels;

Communication systems and pipelines;

Internal walls, partitions;

Roofs, mansard rooms, verandas, basements, attics;

containers of vehicles, tanks with complex wall shapes;

Polinor is ideal for performing thermal insulation work on frame structures due to the possibility of using it in hard-to-reach places. The insulator is also suitable for use in laminated masonry. It fills in the smallest gaps, leaving no chance for cold bridges to form.

A high adhesion rate allows you to apply heat protection to different types of surfaces (wood, metal, concrete, etc.). Polinor is suitable for outdoor and indoor work, which is explained by its resistance to temperature extremes and negative indicators.

Advantages and disadvantages

The growing interest in a new type of heat insulator is dictated by the following advantageous qualities:

A simple way of insulation, which does not require special equipment and skills to work with it, one person will cope with the work;

Good adhesion to many building materials;

High productivity (a plot of 1 m2 is processed in just 2 minutes);

Low thermal conductivity;

Monolithic surface of the heat-insulating layer, excluding the formation of cold bridges;

Additional soundproofing;

Provides pushing the dew point towards the street, which prevents the formation of condensation;

High resistance to aggressive chemical compounds;

Long service life (the manufacturer declares an operational period of up to 50 years);

Inertness to microbiological processes;

The material is not interesting to insects and rodents;

When insulating surfaces, it does not require the creation of an additional windproof and vapor barrier layer.

When using Polinor, it is worth considering the shortcomings of the material:

Weak resistance to ultraviolet light;

Nuances when applying a layer to obtain a uniform protective surface;

Compliance with the temperature regime during work (from 15 to 35 degrees with a plus sign);

With prolonged interaction with water, the structure of the insulation collapses.

Installation features

Special requirements are imposed on the preparation of the surface for the application of insulation. First, you need to clean it of debris, and then proceed to remove greasy stains. If this is not done, adhesion between surfaces will be significantly reduced. Work should be planned during the warm season. The recommended temperature regime for creating a heat-shielding layer is within 17-20 degrees. Adequate air temperature and low humidity level will ensure an even distribution of the composition over the working area.

You need to start insulation by studying the instructions and installing the nozzle on the cylinder. It is fixed to a characteristic click. Next, the lid is removed from the cross and the gun is screwed on. The nozzle is included with the heat insulator, and the gun will have to be purchased separately. The procedure for preparing the cylinder for operation is carried out with its vertical position. Shake the container well before spraying the one-component polyurethane foam.

It is necessary to distribute the product consistently, forming a monolithic layer. The maximum thickness of the insulation should not exceed 5 cm. Upon completion of the work, the gun is cleaned with a special solvent or mechanically.

Precautionary measures

Despite the safety of the Polinor composition, it is recommended to observe the following precautions when performing insulation measures.

When the composition is released from the cylinder, an increased concentration of chemical components of the insulator is noted, which can cause irritation of the mucous membrane of the eyes, respiratory organs, and skin. Therefore, work should be carried out in overalls, goggles, mask or respirator.

Do not spray the contents of the can near open flames. The gas present can cause a fire. It is also forbidden to combine installation with smoking cigarettes.

In the room where the thermal protection is being installed, you need to open windows and doors to organize good air ventilation.

In general, work with polyurethane foam insulator Polinor, produced in cylinders, is distinguished by its simplicity and uncomplicated application technique, which is confirmed by user reviews.

POLYNOR (polynor) - can be compared with many materials and insulation, but let's dwell on the most basic.

We consider the economy or the true cost of insulation

Mineral wool -15cm.

Expanded polystyrene-13cm.

PSB-S15U -15cm.

Accordingly, the required volume and cost of the material itself (at Leroy Merlin prices as of 05.12.2014):

Polynor - 5m3 (or 100 cylinders) X 325 rubles. = 32500rub.

Now let's move on to the second part of the question - additional costs for the installation of thermal insulation, the cost of work and the delivery of insulation to the construction site.

At Leroy Merlin prices as of 05.12.2014:

Izospan vapor barrier, roll 70m2-950rub / pc.

Hydro-windproof membrane Izospan AM, roll 35m2 - 30 rubles / m2.

Mounting glue Tytan Prof Classic Fix-139 rubles / piece.

The cost of materials for a thermal insulation device per 100m2

	thermal insulation	lathing	counter-lattice	vapor barrier	hydro windproof membrane	mounting glue

mineral wool
expanded polystyrene
Styrofoam

The cost of the required materials was calculated based on the amount of materials used:

Edged board: the distance between the lags is 1m. Board section: 0.02X0.08m. Cubic capacity: 100X0.02X0.08 = 0.16m3. Cost: 0.16m3Х7000 rubles. = 1120 rubles. 1a. This section of the board with Polynor insulation is necessary and sufficient to ensure the solidity of the entire insulated structure as a whole, excludes the temperature gradient, cold bridges and moves the dew point outside the insulated plane.
Lathing + counter-lattice: Cell format-0.6X1.2. With this format, the number of beams per 100m2 is 25pcs with a length of 10m. The section of the bar: 0.05X0.15m. Cubic capacity: 250X0.05X0.15 = 1.875m3. Cost: 1.875m3Х7000 rubles. = 13125 rubles.
Vapor barrier: Cost: 100m2-1360 rubles.
Hydro-windproof membrane: Cost: 105m2-3150 rubles.
Mounting glue: 17 pcs. X139 rubles = 2363 rubles.

Durability of materials:

Thus, to summarize: we see thatPolynor is located in the middle price segment between mineral wool and expanded polystyrene, but in the aggregate of all costs for arranging thermal insulation, durability and transportation, it is confidently in the lead.

The use of POLYNOR insulation is no more difficult than working with polyurethane foam and much easier than working with any other insulation. NPU POLYNOR® is a new and unparalleled insulation on the Russian market, unique in its combination of characteristics and consumer qualities. With its help, you can solve the most difficult problems of thermal insulation of your living quarters or the whole house.

Download instruction

The instructions for use are simple and fit into a few elementary steps:

Clean work surfaces from dust, dirt and oil stains, moisten.
The cylinder must be at room temperature (18-35 ° C) before use.
Shake the can thoroughly.
Put the special nozzle (included in the kit) on the pistol barrel until it clicks.
Remove the cap from the cross and screw the gun (not included) onto the upright cylinder.
Dispense the output by pressing the trigger of the pistol. The spray layer should be no thicker than 5 cm.
During operation, periodically shake the cylinder with the pistol (while holding the cylinder, not the pistol).
Use the special PULP® Cleaner to clean the gun and remove any impurities with insulation immediately after completing work and disconnecting the cylinder.
Cured NPU can be removed with PULP® Cleaner + or mechanically.

IMPORTANT!

The kit includes a special nozzle for the pistol. It is FORBIDDEN to use this nozzle with ordinary polyurethane foam!

The attachment does NOT fit all assembly guns !!!

The nozzle should be applied with effort, not free to rotate on the gun.

Precautionary measures:

Uncured polyurethane foam is irritating to skin, respiratory tract and eyes. Therefore, during work, you must use protective gloves and goggles, with insufficient ventilation and a high concentration of vapors - a respirator. If the insulation gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with water and consult a doctor. The blowing agent is heavier than air and is a flammable substance. Work in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke or use sources of open flames, sparks, devices with open heating elements in the work area.

The contents of the cylinder are under pressure!

Contains 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate.

PROHIBITED STORAGE UNDER DIRECT SUN RAYS AND CYLINDER HEATING OVER 50 ° C!

Polinor is a Norwegian sprayed polyurethane in cylinders.
The first drawback is that it is expensive. Cheaper than calling men with a stationary spray (especially as far away as mine ... they probably won't go), but much more expensive than any other (non-sprayable) insulation. The balloon (485 rubles in Leroy Merlin) is really enough for two square meters in one layer. And you need, after all, two layers. It turns out a balloon for one square. In the absence of extra money, it makes sense to use only where it will not work otherwise. In my case, it was exactly like this: it was not possible to insulate the ceiling with mineral wool. That is, it was not possible to press this mineral wool to the ceiling so that the wind would not walk between the ceiling and the mineral wool. The ceiling is the floor of the attic, the attic (unlike the first floor) is already inhabited, but on winter nights, thanks to the cold floor, there was an oak tree. When, on New Year's Eve, the temperature dropped to -30, even with the kilowatt convector turned on constantly, it dropped to +5 in the morning. It seems that it is impossible to spray polynor in the cold, and in summer it is not so easy to check the effectiveness. But, at least, after spraying, by the morning I had +20 at +15 overboard WITHOUT using any heaters at all. I think this is a success. But let's wait for winter, of course.
The second drawback: fine drizz when spraying, from which you have to close yourself and cover all surrounding objects that have any value (for example, the floor). Especially if you spray on the ceiling (because the law of universal gravitation). When sprayed on walls, this is not so noticeable, but it is also there. In general, the insidiousness of this phenomenon lies precisely in the fact that at first it is not so noticeable, and one might at first think that everything is not so scary. But SUDDENLY (towards the end of the bottle) tin begins. I worked in a disposable overalls, covering everything except the muzzle and boots, and glasses. She regretted that there was not yet a burqa (for bearded uncles, it is generally obligatory!) I didn’t regret the boots only because they were already full of holes to be thrown out. Paul did it too thoroughly.

Whether it is possible to wash it off with something - I don't know yet. There was no special liquid for diluting polynor (such exists in nature) in Leroy-Merlin. I have not had time to try the liquid for polyurethane foam, but I suspect that it is unlikely to work.

The third disadvantage: the material is flammable. Not as flammable as polystyrene (it will not go to kindling the stove: o), but MUCH more flammable than wood. Alas, I will not blow out the steam room for them.

Advantages: efficient and fast. No need to wrinkle a turnip about any structures, cut pieces of something. You take it, and pretty quickly you spray everything on anything (you don't need to wet the structure in advance. It is written in the instructions, and it really is). It dries quickly, the second layer according to the instructions can be done in twenty minutes, it feels even faster. As a result, we have a truly sealed, seamless layer of insulation (if everything is done correctly). There is no surplus (again, with the correct application), even the cut off excess (irregularities) can be used to plug any cracks (unlike polyurethane foam, which, when dry, turns into something solid, here you get a soft, springy substance)

And about the correct application. First, you need special caps that fit on the gun for polyurethane foam. Since the polyurethane foam, in principle, is sprayed into the slots, and the polynor, on the contrary, over the maximum area. That is, the caps are fundamentally different. One such cap is sold with each cylinder. But it is a wall spray cap. To spray on the ceiling, you need a special cap for spraying on the ceiling (otherwise, to spray on the ceiling, you would have to turn the cylinder over, and in this form it will not spray well). Ceiling spray caps are not for sale in Merlin. They are sold only in one office in Moscow (like a direct representative?). Fortunately, they have a pickup from the Dmitrovskaya metro station, but even pickup costs 100 rubles, and delivery to the checkpoint is even more (that is, many times more expensive than the cap itself). You can buy polinor itself from them, but not to say that it was noticeably cheaper there than in Merlin. But they also have a pistol (special for polynor) and a launder.
An important point: not all pistols are suitable. This is indicated in the advertisements, but it is not explained why. It's simple: these same caps do not fit on all pistols. That is, when buying Polinor in Merlin (and other SHOPS do not sell it), you need to take a cylinder, and with this cylinder, more precisely with a cap, go to the pistol department, and there specifically try on a cap for pistols. Success is not at all guaranteed: o) I was only approached by the pistol that was specially hung next to the polinor. But already in the next Merlin (in Tver) nothing hung next to the polinor. So, probably, the best option is to order everything you need (a lot of cylinders, a pistol, a washer and angle nozzles, if necessary) in the same office, and pick it up from Dmitrovka.
And about, in fact, the application. Apply evenly! It is very tempting not to do this: o) I would like to crawl into the cracks and apply a little more there. This should not be done. From this it turns out this kind of garbage:

That is, it is thick, then empty. And where it is dense, hefty "mushrooms" swell, under which you can't crawl in order to blow out where it is empty. If you only cut them off (by the way, it is cut well with a renovator). By the last flight, I was already smarter, and applied evenly in two layers, not being afraid that the first layer, at first glance, is not continuous:

If something goes wrong, then there is a problem with the cap.
