Polymer materials in the construction industry

Have you ever wondered what materials are used in different parts of the construction industry? Have you thought about using polymer materials in the construction industry? As a short answer, we can say that nowadays, polymer materials are used in almost all stages of building construction, from under the floor to the top of the roof, and polymers have found their place in the road and construction industries. Polymer materials are used in many cases, such as flooring, wall coverings, insulation, exterior and interior facades, false ceilings, polymer asphalt coatings, polymer concrete coatings, concrete modified with polymers, building adhesives, paints, etc.

Due to their unique advantages, various research is conducted on their application in different sectors, and new achievements of the applications of these materials in this industry are presented every day. In the rest of this article, we will learn about the use of polymer materials in the following cases.

  • Application of polymer materials in thermal, moisture, and sound insulation
  • Application of polymer materials in pipes
  • Application of polymeric materials in concrete
  • Application of polymer materials in building stone
  • Application of polymer materials in asphalt

Polymer materials in thermal, moisture, and sound insulation

With the increase of science and the extraordinary progress of technology, heat, sound, and moisture insulation produced with polymer materials is progressing daily. Depending on their type and application, these insulators prevent heat, displacement, convection, moisture, sound, and radiation.

Types of building insulation are a covering of different materials applied on the roof, floor, and walls and cause the absorption or control of environmental noise, preventing heat from entering or leaving the desired building space or sealing the building. It equals the entry of water and humidity into the building.

The use of building insulation increases the life of the building and reduces energy consumption in the building. The insulations used in the construction are used in different types of rolls, panels, and color coating for all residential, commercial, etc., buildings.

Types of building insulation are divided into thermal, moisture, and sound insulation in terms of performance and application, each of which has different styles. Nowadays, polymer materials play a significant role in all types of insulation.
