Shipbuilding
On the decks of ships, insulation materials also contribute to energy savings. These include technical equipment, pipe supports, pipe penetrations, and mechanical protection. This significantly enhances energy efficiency, prevents condensation, corrosion, and provides fire protection.
The European Marine Equipment Directive (MED) and its implementing regulations regulate the approval process for marine equipment in the EU. Products falling under the scope of the implementing regulation may bear the conformity marking of a marine certificate and can be used throughout the EU without further national approvals.
Insulation materials used in maritime environments must meet particularly high requirements
During an intercontinental crossing, they must withstand both the freezing temperatures of northern waters and the tropical environmental effects in a very short time without losing their insulating function.
Furthermore, fire and personnel protection are of great importance due to limited possibilities and rescue delays. Additionally, in case of fire, the density of smoke gases is low, and the emitted smoke has low toxicity.
