The isolation of Knauf Insulation, present in the new Alba synchrotron

The new Alba synchrotron is already a reality. After six years of constructive work - the project was conceived in 1994 but their construction did not begin until 2003 - is the largest and most expensive scientific installation of Spain and southern Europe, approximately 200 million euros co-financed between the Ministry of science and innovation and the Generalitat de Catalunya. knauf insulation, multinational specialized in thermal and acoustic, insulation has collaborated with its product 'Blanket without skin' (Classic 044) in the construction process of this emblematic building of great technical complexity, by the mechanical and thermal stability requirements.

The 'blanket without skinning' of Knauf is generally used in covered sandwich, consisting of two plates veined metal, which is sandwiched the product, to perform the function of isolation.

These requirements included good technical performance, this insulating Mineral Wool termoacustico was an optimal solution for this project, whose constructive planning was carried out by Consortium for the construction, equipment and exploitation of the laboratory of light from synchrotron (CELLS). The 'blanket without skin' (Classic 04) is generally used in covered sandwich, consisting of two veined metal plates, separated by omega profiles, between which is sandwiched the product, to perform the function of isolation. This material holds the certificate of conformity CE, according to the norm EN 13162, as well as the certified European volunteer Keymark, the national brand of quality N of Aenor and the French Acermi label. On the other hand, the Euceb certificate guarantees that a product is biosoluble and non-dangerous for the health, according to Directive 97/69/EC European.
