Meet the BIO4EEB partners advancing innovation in bio-based insulation materials for buildings. BIO4EEB brings into collaboration diverse expertise, engaging a well-balanced multidisciplinary consortium consists of partners from 10 European countries as well as one Latin American partner.Â
This week, we are happy to introduce INDRESMAT BV. A chemical start-up based in Brightlands Chemelot Campus (Geleen-NL), headquartered in Barcelona (Spain), redefining the thermal envelope of buildings using bio-based polyurethane (Bio-PUR) for more resilient, energy-efficient, and circular buildings. INDRESMAT aims to decrease CO2 emissions in buildings by lowering their energy consumption while reducing the C-footprint of the materials for the thermal envelope. INDRESMAT promotes a greener construction industry within a circular economy approach with several products that cover 100% of the building envelope (windows, doors, walls, roof, and floor).INDRESMAT’s key differential value is based on its unique know-how related to polyurethane technology such as materials formulation for advanced properties; product design for high performance and circularity and technology engineering for competitive and large-scale production.
In BIO4EEB, INDRESMAT works on the combination of bio-based polyols and isocyanates to develop the following polyurethane materials. KLIMA-PUR, energy-saving framing material for windows made from bioPUR with more than 45%renewable content, and has excellent thermal insulation performance and improved recycling at end-of-life. SAFE-PUR and BIO-PUR sprayable insulation foams for roofs, walls &doors made from bioPUR (with up to 80% renewable content), having increased safety behavior due to lower flammability and suppressed toxic smoke emission.
