00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Miguel Ortega, Alvaro author González Moreno, Sara author González Martín, José Manuel author Arroyo Sanz, Raquel author García García, Félix Clemente author Trigo López, Miriam author Vallejos Calzada, Saúl author 2024-10 Six PU adhesives were synthesised with two different polyols (PPG and PEG based) of three molecular weights, namely 400, 1000 and 2000 g mol−1, and MDI, to prepare sandstone-XPS isolating façade panels. The chemical structure, thermal properties, and adhesion properties in the preparation of the panels were evaluated. Both sandstone and XPS are commonly used materials in construction due to their excellent insulating properties, durability, flexibility, water resistance, and aesthetic appeal, making them environmentally attractive. The industry trend is towards using sanded XPS in these panels, as better adhesion is achieved with typical adhesives compared to satin or unsanded XPS. However, this entails waste generation from sanding, a higher panel price and a difference in adhesive consumption from 309 g m−2 to 684 g m−2 for unsanded (or satin) and sanded XPS, respectively. In this study, all prepared panels exhibit good adhesion properties, even those made with satin XPS. Panels prepared from PPG-based adhesives show better adhesion performance than those made from PEG, reaching 0.52 ± 0.07 N mm−2 with the 1000 g mol−1 PPG polyol-based adhesive. These highest adhesion properties are due to the optimal balance of flexible and rigid segments in the polymer material structure. The adhesive maintains its high performance even after harsh temperature and humidity conditions. After accelerated ageing with heat, cold and water, the probes retain between 65 and 71 % of the original tensile strength (0.34 ± 0.03, 0.35 ± 0.07 and 0.37 ± 0.01 N mm−2, respectively). This finding suggests an interesting starting point for cost savings associated with sanding and reduction in XPS waste generation, making them economically and environmentally appealing. 2352-7102 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/9595 10.1016/j.jobe.2024.110301 Siliciclastic sandstone Single-component PU Ageing study Sustainable construction Polyethylene glycol Polypropylene glyco Poly-MDI Improving the adhesion of satin XPS to sandstone with customized polyurethane adhesives for sustainable facade cladding and thermal insulation
