According to application of thermal insulation materials in the practical construction of electrical heat tracing in viscous oil pipeline, impact factors of rigid polyurethane foam widely used as new insulation material are systemically analyzed by Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) in the theory of Grey System to find out priorities among those factors. To further study their performances and to improve the quality of constructions, ten field experiments were carried out in Tanggula Mountain. The foaming conditions and the performances of the rigid polyurethane foam were recorded to be analyzed by GRA. The analysis results, acting as scientific guidance for construction, show that the insulation quality of rigid polyurethane foam is mainly determined by the ratio of components, thus the priority is to control such dominant factor and overall consideration of other factors should be taken to ensure insulation quality in the foaming process. More field experiments prove that the ratio should be controlled between 1.15 and 1.18 to ensure the thermal insulation.

This paper briefly introduces the main properties and four systems of rigid polyurethane thermal insulation foam intended for use in buildings for energy conservation purposes, and application development at home and abroad. Although the applications of polyurethane are widespread in architectural energy conservation, there are some problems just as high price, smoke toxicity, fire safety and so on thus it still occupies a small proportion in buildings for energy conservation purposes. It is no doubt that the function with high efficiency of thermal insulation, fireproof and low smoke density of rigid polyurethane foam conservation products is our goal.

This paper presents research into the preparation of rigid polyurethane foams with bio-polyols from rapeseed and tall oil. Rigid polyurethane foams were designed with a cryogenic insulation application for aerospace in mind. The polyurethane systems containing non-renewable diethylene glycol (DEG) were modified by replacing it with rapeseed oil-based low functional polyol (LF), obtained by a two-step reaction of epoxidation and oxirane ring opening with 1-hexanol. It was observed that as the proportion of the LF polyol in the polyurethane system increased, so too did the apparent density of the foam material. An increase in the value of the thermal conductivity coefficient was associated with an increase in the value of apparent density. Mechanical tests showed that the rigid polyurethane foam had higher compressive strength at cryogenic temperatures compared with the values obtained at room temperature. The adhesion test indicated that the foams subjected to cryo-shock obtained similar values of adhesion strength to the materials that were not subjected to this test. The results obtained were higher than 0.1 MPa, which is a favourable value for foam materials in low-temperature applications.

Rigid polyurethane foam has many advantages such as low thermal conductivity, good thermal insulation, good antisepsis ability, non-toxic, and light quality. Based on the above reasons, this paper systematically summarized the processing technologies of rigid polyurethane foam, and research progress of its reinforced technology by inorganic materials was briefly discussed.
