4 WHY TO INSULATE AND CURRENT SITUATION OF INSULATION IN COLD STORAGES IN INDIA VINNAPAS Conserve energy and save money Increase profitability 90% of existing cold storages are using inappropriate insulation material (as per NHB expert committee report 1.1.1) level of insulation are very low (as per NHB expert committee report 1.1.1) 13 bil$ of fruits and vegetable get wasted annually (as per ISHS) NHB= National Horticulture Board ISHS= International Society for Horticultural Science Saulat Khan, Wacker Chemie India P.L, , Slide 3

5 PU, MINERAL WOOL & PF BOARD AS INSULATING MATERIALS VINNAPAS PU Boards: Insulation effect much better than with conventional EPS boards Thermal conductivity 0,022W/mK brittle material - low impact strength low flammability but highly toxic gases in case of fire Phenol Formaldehyde Boards: Thermal conductivity 0,022 W/mK Insulation effect much better than with conventional EPS boards comparable to PU boards brittle material low impact strength severe shrinkage very sensitive against water!
