Insulation is a material whose purpose is to protect two adjacent systems or surfaces from mutual adverse interactions. The following types of insulation are distinguished:
Electrical (preventing the flow of electrical charges)
Waterproofing (protecting against water, moisture and steam)
Thermal insulation (which protects against unfavorable heat exchange with the environment)
Windproofing (to protect against heat loss)
Acoustic (lowering the intensity of sounds and suppressing unwanted sounds)
Anti-vibration (reduce the impact of vibrations on building elements, machinery)
Chemically resistant (protect the element from environmental aggression)
Features of effective insulation
Stability of parameters
Leakage
No thermal bridges responsible for heat loss
Low thermal conductivity
Optimum thickness
Lightweight (no strain on the structure)
Good adhesion to various materials
Resistance to changing weather conditions, especially temperature and humidity
