Project title
polyurethane foam = energy efficiency
Full project title
polyurethane foam - a means of increasing the energy efficiency of building
Description
The company "ADAMANTAN" has created a polyurethane system house in Liepaja, Republic of Latvia. Its goal and contribution was the creation of a building material for insulation - MASTER POOR SO-8 polyurethane foam. The company "ADAMANTAN" is not going to be satisfied with what has already been achieved, and is conducting research and development work on replacing one of the components of the polyurethane foam-polyol with a tall oil polyol created by the company itself.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
Please provide a summary of your project
The company "ADAMANTAN" has created a polyurethane system house in Liepaja, Republic of Latvia. Its goal and contribution to the climate change of our house - the Earth, was the creation of a building material for insulation - polyurethane foam MASTER POOR SO-8. The use of this material gives the key to effective, fast and high-quality insulation of residential buildings, industrial premises, and agricultural buildings. The spraying of the material is carried out by masters with experience in spraying, providing the quality and terms required by customers. The composition of the material and the form of packaging allow organizing deliveries to all countries of the European Union. Polyurethane foam, used as a heater, allows buildings and structures to be made energy efficient by reducing the amount of energy used for heat, thereby significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Every customer who chooses polyurethane foam insulation contributes to the fight against climate change and the development of green technologies. The market for building material, polyurethane foam, is growing rapidly, which is facilitated by the current policy of the European Union and national governments aimed at counteracting the process of warming of the Earth's climate and rational use of energy resources. The ADAMANTAN company is not going to be satisfied with what has already been achieved, and is conducting research and development work on replacing one of the components of the polyurethane foam-polyol with a tall oil polyol created by the company itself. This will allow the use of natural, recyclable raw materials in the chemical process of the production of polyurethane foam, bringing green technologies to construction.
Please give information about the key objectives of your project in terms of sustainability and how these have been met
Through a large number of experiments, a high-quality product was created for the insulation of buildings and structures - polyurethane foam MASTER PUR SO-08.
Please give information about the key objectives of your project in terms of aesthetics and quality of experience beyond functionality and how these have been met
The purpose of creating polyurethane foam MASTER PUR SO-08 was the desire to provide the market with a product that allows you to quickly, efficiently and economically increase the energy efficiency of buildings and structures.
Please give information about the key objectives of your project in terms of inclusion and how these have been met
Polyurethane foam MASTER PUR SO-08 has become popular both in the Baltic States and in the rest of the European Union, as well as in Iceland.
Please give information on the results/impacts achieved by your project in relation to the category you apply for
The manufactured product is becoming in demand in the building materials market. The circle and profile of clients is expanding, as well as the geography of the supply of this material is growing.
Please explain the way citizens benefiting from or affected by the project and civil society have been involved in the project and what has been the impact of this involvement on the project
Polyurethane foam MASTER PUR SO-08 has become a good alternative to other types of building insulation, which has allowed residents and businesses to address energy efficiency issues, thereby contributing to the fight against Earth's climate change
Please highlight the innovative character of the project
A new product has been created that has practical application in construction, which makes an undoubted contribution to improving energy efficiency in the construction and renovation of buildings and structures. This product can be created using green technologies using recycled natural raw materials.
Please explain how the project led to results or learnings which could be transferred to other interested parties
Polyurethane foam MASTER PUR SO-08 is becoming a means of conserving natural resources and reducing carbon dioxide emissions when used in energy efficiency processes in buildings and structures.The use of this product allows, even those customers who did not care about energy conservation and energy efficiency, and tried to save money, become participants in the fight against climate change and make their property energy efficient.
