In the previous topic, we came to know that how insulation is important in cold storage and how the rating of insulation is done. Depending on that, we can decide the type of insulating material and its thickness in a particular application. But the heat resisting property of insulating material is not the sole requirement in refrigeration. There are some other properties also which play an important role in the selection of an insulating material. One of these properties is mechanical strength.
It comes in picture when some insulating materials are also to be used as load bearing floors and to form self-supporting partitions. Another important property required in an insulating property is that it should be moisture resistant. It should not deteriorate or loose its heat resistive property in the event of moisture collection on it. Thus some other properties, which are considered while applying an insulating material, are as mentioned below:
a) Mechanical strength
b) Moisture resistance
c) Low odour level
d) Safety to health
e) Inflammability
f) Repellence to insects
