Unfortunately, as a result of this change, the thermal conductivity of foam materials has increased due to the higher conductivity of these new blowing agents. This results in insulation foams that no longer fulfill the required product specifications unless additional steps are taken to increase the thermal resistance of these insulation foams.It is known that an infrared attenuation agent (IAA) can be used to improve an insulation foam. An effective infrared attenuation agent favors increased reflection and absorption and decreased transmission of heat radiation as much as possible. Traditionally, inorganic materials have been used as IAA to reduce the portion of heat radiation.
