IMPIANTI OMS S.p.A.

 

It’s clear that government legislation worldwide is continuing to push improved insulation requirements for all forms of construction to ever increasing levels.

 

We have seen incredible investment in continuous lines for flexible and rigid faced composite panels and new developments in structural insulated panels ( SIPS ) appear to hold a bright future for fast-build, well insulated domestic and commercial buildings.

 

Amongst these developments, OMS Group has also been busy constructing a significant number of continuous lines for flexible faced closed cell phenolic insulation board. Technologies for the various processes vary according to individual customers and some have their own unique formulations and techniques but OMS Group has worked on these projects to ensure a first class product at the end of the line.

 

Aside from the greatly enhanced fire performance which phenolic foams offer there is the benefit that the process does not rely on MDI. So, to some extent, processors offering multi-faceted product lines can retain some security of production should we see again the MDI shortages which caused such difficulties in the recent past.

 

Developments in phenolic resins and process techniques are coming through at a rapid rate but you can be sure OMS Group will be at the forefront of the plant technology needed to stay right at the forefront of this technology.
