Thermal Insulation
To be cost efficient, refrigerated truck bodies must be insulated effectively and reliably whilst also being lightweight and built with highly durable materials to last for decades.  The good thermal performance of a refrigerated truck should be maintained over the lifetime of the vehicle, requiring that the body elements don't pick up moisture.

Using insulation core materials in the production of refrigerated truck bodies helps meet all these requirements.

Polyurethane systems are tailored and available globally to allow our customers to meet and anticipate the most stringent regulations with a unique combination of superior insulation efficiency, lightweight, structural bonding properties, and ease of use.  Current and future regulations, protocols and international standard drive the production of professional appliances to Zero Ozone Depletion Products (Montreal) and Low Global Warming Potential e.g. greenhouse gases.
