SECTORS · 07
In long-life construction applications such as window profiles, insulation membranes, flooring and piping systems, different polymer groups are preferred depending on weather resistance and fire-safety priorities.
POLYMERS USED
In building applications, resistance to outdoor conditions, fire safety and long service life determine material selection.
Widely used in window and door profiles thanks to its dimensional stability and low maintenance needs.
Preferred in insulation and membrane applications thanks to its water resistance and flexibility.
Used in floor covering and geotechnical applications thanks to its light weight and chemical resistance.
SELECTION CRITERIA
The right material should be chosen according to service life, outdoor conditions and regulatory requirements.
Building applications generally require decades of performance; material durability is critical.
Resistance to UV, moisture and temperature differences is a priority criterion in façade applications.
Building regulations may include requirements on the fire classification of the material used.
Ease of cutting, welding and joining directly affects project timelines.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
In the building and construction sector, polymer materials are used in a wide range, from insulation to non-structural systems.
When choosing a polymer for building and construction, we recommend considering expected service life, outdoor conditions and relevant building regulations together. Contact our team for suitable products and sourcing options.
