Rigid polyurethane foam is an insulation material with an extremely low thermal transmission coefficient, consisting of mixing of polyol and isocyanate in certain ratios and pressure injection of these materials. PUR, which is injected between the carrier pipe and the casing pipe (HDPE), provides heat insulation as well as enables two pipes to operate as one pipe by bonding them together and filling in the space between the pipes longitudinally. In the manufacturing of pre-insulated geothermal pipes, the PUR in accordance with the standard TS EN 253 has to meet the following minimum requirements:
