Ode Starflex Brochure ISO 27001 EN 13162 ISO 14001 EN 14303 ISO 50001 STARFLEX OHSAS 18001 Glasswool Product Brochure ODE COMPANY PROFILE ODE Insulation was founded in 1985 as a contractor in construction industry. In 1988, the company made a strategic decision to specialize in insulation industry. ODE started importing insulation products in 1990 and in 1996 the company became a manufacturer in insulation industry. Today, ODE manufactures insulation materials under 2 main categories; Building Insulation and HVAC Insulation. Its building insulation materials are Isıpan (Extruded Polystyrene Foam), Membran (Polymer Bitumen Based Waterproofing Membrane) and Starflex (Glass Wool). Its HVAC insulation materials are Starflex (Glass Wool) and R-flex (Flexible Elastomeric Foam). As of today, ODE is one of the biggest insulation manufacturers in the region. It manufactures and exports 4,000 varieties of insulation products to 75 countries. Over the years, ODE became a regional leader and recently in 2017 the company has completed the first phase of its new investment and started producing in its new factory in Eskişehir, Turkey. Once the second phase of this investment is completed and the production capacity in technical insulation (HVAC) is increased, ODE will be the biggest manufacturer in technical insulation between China and Germany. Besides, ODE Insulation has identified 15 target countries for its export under Turquality brand building program. Currently ODE is focusing on these countries in order to develop its distribution channels. In 2015, ODE became the first and the only company in insulation industry in the region that has Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificate for all of its product range, which means that ODE products are internationally approved and they are in accordance with the European standards. ODE insulates the future and it will keep investing in the future by transferring its 30 years of experience in insulation to create a sustainable environment for the next generations. ÇORLU PRODUCTION FACILITY ESKİŞEHİR PRODUCTION FACILITY STARFLEX GLASS WOOL STARFLEX GLASS WOOL FIRE SAFETY Glass wool is produced by heating silica sand at high temperature, melting it into fibers. It can be produced in different size and technical specifications according to their area and purpose of usage with different facing materials, as blanket, board, pipe. Selection of combustibility classification COMBUSTIBILITY CLASSIFICATION is important for knowing fire response of (according to TS EN 13501-1) materials. Combustibility Classification A1-A2-B-C-D-E-F BLANKET BOARD PIPE ODE STARFLEX is classified as a ‘’A1’’ Additional Classification According to s1-s2-s3 ‘’Non-Combustible’’ material as per the Smoke Generation TS EN 13501-1 standard. Additional Classification for d0-d1-d2 Flaming Droplets/Particles SERVICE TEMPERATURE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY (λ) It should be known that the thermal insulation material is suitable to be used at what temperature range in order to be applied safety. ODE STARFLEX can be used with convenience without compromising their properties between -50°C and +250°C. Thermal conductivity is the amount of heat that is transferred through two 1 m2 surfaces of insulation material, that are 1 m apart and parallel to each other when the temperature difference between the two sides (Δt) equals 1°C. The unit of thermal conductivity is W/m.K. This value is the most important property of thermal insulation materials. The lower the thermal conductivity of an insulation material is, the higher its resistance, d, to heat transfer. SOUND INSULATION AND ACOUSTIC DESIGN ODE STARFLEX is manufactured in the λ = 0,031-0,044 W/m.K thermal conductivity range in accordance with EN 13162 and EN 14303 standards. Sound is defined as pressure waves which propagate in free environments. Efforts conducted to reduce the sound pressure level are classified as “insulation”, while efforts toward reducing the time THERMAL RESISTANCE ( ) R of reverberation are classified as “acoustic design”. In order to reduce unwanted sound and noise in buildings and installations, ODE STARFLEX offers effective solutions for acoustic design and sound insulation with its open pore fibrous nature and wide product range. Thermal resistance is the measure of the resistance Wall of the insulation material to the transfer of heat. It Indoor Air is calculated as the proportion of the thickness of Temperature a material (m) to thermal conductivity (W/m.K). Its Outside Air unit is m2.K/W. Temperature ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY It is calculated using the formula R=d/λ. As the material’s R value increases, the material shows greater resistance to the transfer of heat.

  • Thermal and Acoustic Insulating Panels for Buildings
    THERMAL AND ACOUSTIC INSULATING PANELS FOR BUILDINGS RECYCLING TEXTILE WASTE BY ECOFIBRA IN CHILE Since 2018, the company Ecofibra created by the engineer Franklin Zepeda, operates in Chile recycling and transforming textile waste into ecological panels for thermal and acoustic insulation of buildings. Ecofibra's products are manufactured as mats, blankets, sheets and bulk, with different densities, thicknesses and insulating capacities, allowing an efficient shelter of all types of buildings, new houses or renovated. By mixing wood with the insulating mat, Ecofibra also commercializes finished ecological panels. These products have fireproof properties and the same insulation coefficient as the traditional panels available on the market in Chile, while being less expensive. The production process is totally circular: at the end of use, the thermal panels can be returned to the company, which recycles them without generating any waste. The Ecofibra company was created in the municipality of Alto Hospicio in the Tarapacá Region, to solve the problem of the huge quantities of textile waste generated from the import of used clothing in this Free Zone. According to estimates, 80% of the used clothing that arrives in the Region ends up in clandestine dumps near this city. The Ecofibra business project, which is inspired by the principles of circular economy, has been designed in 2016 to create an efficient and ecological alternative for the construction sector, taking advantage of textile waste as a recyclable resource. The 500 sqm plant of Ecofibra was established in 2018 in the municipality of Alto Hospicio, with a capacity to produce 800 panels a day, processing four tonnes a day of textile waste, most of which coming from the surrounding area.

  • Background Report, AP-42, Vol. I, SECTION 11.18 Mineral Wool
    EMISSION FACTOR DOCUMENTATION FOR AP-42 SECTION 11.18 (Formerly 8.16) Mineral Wool Manufacturing 1. INTRODUCTION The document Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-42) has been published by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1972. Supplements to AP-42 have been routinely published to add new emission source categories and to update existing emission factors. AP-42 is routinely updated by EPA to respond to new emission factor needs of EPA, State and local air pollution control programs, and industry. An emission factor relates the quantity (weight) of pollutants emitted to a unit of activity of the source. The uses for the emission factors reported in AP-42 include: 1. Estimates of areawide emissions; 2. Estimates of emissions for a specific facility; and 3. Evaluation of emissions relative to ambient air quality. The purpose of this report is to provide background information from test reports and other information to support preparation of AP-42 Section 8.16, Mineral Wool Manufacturing. This background report consists of five sections. Section 1 includes the introduction to the report. Section 2 gives a description of the mineral wool industry. It includes a characterization of the industry, an overview of the different process types, a description of emissions, and a description of the technology used to control emissions resulting from mineral wool production operations. Section 3 is a review of emission data collection and laboratory analysis procedures. It describes the literature search, the screening of emission data reports, and the quality rating system for both emission data and emission factors.

  • Chapter 8.2 Man-Made Vitreous Fibres
    Chapter 8.2 Man-made vitreous fibres General description Physical and chemical properties Fibres are divided into naturally occurring and man-made (synthetic) fibres. Each of these groups can be subdivided into organic and inorganic fibres. Man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF) are a large subgroup of inorganic fibres. Fibre dimensions established in the 1960s for the measurement of asbestos fibres are used to denote which fibres should be counted for occupational safety: these are fibre length (FL) > 5 µm, fibre diameter (FD) < 3 µm and aspect ratio (FL/FD) > 3. Vitreous fibres are currently the commercially most important group of fibres, although in future crystalline fibres (e.g. fibres from aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride and carbon) may become increasingly important. MMVF are made from glass, natural rock or any readily fusible slag, and are all amorphous silicates. The terms “glass”, “rock”, “slag” and “ceramic” fibres refer to the starting materials. These terms are used commercially and are now also used in the scientific literature. Consequently, they erroneously create the impression that they denote a biologically relevant delimitation. This is not the case, particularly with regard to their durability in the lung or similar biological milieu. They are also unsuitable terms for the assessment of carcinogenicity, as the properties of the main types currently produced cannot be generally applied to all of the manufactured types bearing the same trade name. To make the final product, manufacturers add a thin binder to the fibres. The composition and proportional quantity of the binder may differ considerably, both between manufacturers and according to requirements for the end product.
