Description
The aim of the project is to develop new unique heat insulation material, ISOPERL. The new material will be featured by a range of advantages in comparison to the existing analogues, including lower thermal conductivity, possibility to insulate places that are difficult to access, longevity (not less than 50 years) and competitive price. Project will be developed within Green Technology incubator in collaboration with University of Latvia and Riga Technical University. In the result the new building material will be patented in several EU countries. The Norway grant provides an opportunity to develop new product that will be competitive both in Latvian and international rapidly growing market of heat insulation materials, therefore bringing company to a higher level.
Summary of project results
Within the Norway grant support programme Green Industry Innovation, the Latvian company Thermeko Lt. has been supported for development, testing, certifying and marketing a new, innovative heat insulation material ISOPERL. The new product will consists of company’s own developed Izoprok material as well new produced foam polystyrene pellets covered in graphite. The ISOPERL product is an excellent measure to insulate old buildings with an air gap of 2 cm and more in their walls or whose heat insulation has slid or worn. Likewise ISOPERL will be applied to insulate walls in wooden buildings with brick walls, as it allows the wood to “breathe”. The new product is cost effective, with lower thermal conductivity, with possibility to insulate places that are difficult to access, is long-lasting (not less than 50 years). It gives high results of decreasing heat loss rate, at the same time this allows saving costs in comparison to other heat insulation technologies and materials that exist in the market. Project was implemented within the Green Technology incubator supported by Norway grants.
