Greenhouse with PENOPLEX®: 7 arguments in favor of environmental friendliness

In most of our country, the soil is prone to freezing in winter. Temperatures below zero degrees during return frosts in spring and cold spells in autumn can adversely affect plant seedlings and ripening crops in September. Insulation of greenhouses with PENOPLEX FUNDAMENT® makes it possible to start early planting and extend the harvest season of vegetables and herbs until the cold weather.

The PENOPLEX company presents a reliable and environmentally friendly solution for greenhouse insulation with PENOPLEX FUNDAMENT® plates on the company's official website, here: https://www.penoplex.ru/use/uteplenie-teplits-s-penopleks/

On the specified page of the site you can see a diagram of a greenhouse insulated with PENOPLEX FUNDAMENT® plates, read installation description, calculate the number of packages with these plates according to the program "Greenhouse calculator with PENOPLEKS. There is also a brief description of the advantages of PENOPLEX® boards over other heat-insulating materials, including environmental friendliness, which we will dwell on in more detail.

Here is evidence of the environmental safety of PENOPLEX® boards

1. The main argument is that PENOPLEX® boards are made from environmentally friendly raw materials: general-purpose polystyrene of the same brands that are used for making utensils, medical products, food packaging, children's toys - i.e., products that are subject to the most stringent sanitary requirements.

2. All brands of PENOPLEX® boards, including those recommended for use in PENOPLEX FUNDAMENT® greenhouses, have passed the sanitary and epidemiological examination. An expert opinion is posted on the company's website here: https://www.penoplex.ru/upload/iblock/085/08513247e1af64684e8a0f3673e5517b.pdf.

3. The material of PENOPLEX® boards, extruded polystyrene foam, is manufactured using modern technologies, without the use of hazardous components. On the basis of polystyrene, another heat-insulating material is also produced - pressless expanded polystyrene, which in colloquial language is called polystyrene. Some grades of foam are manufactured using toxic phenol-formaldehyde resins. "

4. In the production of PENOPLEX® boards, only primary raw materials are used. Neither plastic processing products nor production wastes are used.

5. In the production of PENOPLEX® boards for foaming polystyrene, outdated freon technology is not used, which can be used by other manufacturers of foamed polymers. The PENOPLEX company uses inert carbon dioxide as a blowing agent, rather than freons, which have a negative impact on the environment.

6. As a part of PENOPLEX® boards there is no dust and small fibers, they do not emit harmful substances. Greenhouses with high-quality thermal insulation will ensure the cultivation of environmentally friendly vegetables. Thermal insulation plates exclude the growth of pathogenic microbes, mold and fungi.

7. PENOPLEX® boards are safe to install. For their installation, there is no need to protect the respiratory organs with a respirator, the skin with gloves, as required, for example, by the standard for mineral wool.

Thus, PENOPLEX® boards are safe during production, installation and use in building structures, including in the base of greenhouses.
