A sustainable insulation solution at Tinby Skumplast and Tinby A/S


Insulation with PUR and PIR can help improve the energy efficiency of buildings and reduce CO2 emissions. PUR and PIR are among the most effective insulation materials available, and they can achieve very high thermal performance with a minimal insulation thickness. 

A large part of our energy consumption in buildings goes toward heating and cooling. Some of this energy consumption involves energy production through the burning of fossil fuels, resulting in CO2 emissions. The simplest and most cost-effective way to reduce energy demand and CO2 emissions is by making our buildings more energy-efficient.

At Tinby and Tinby Skumplast, we produce insulation materials in PUR and PIR, which are among the best insulation materials on the market with the highest thermal efficiency. When insulating with PUR and PIR, only a minimal material thickness is required to achieve maximum energy efficiency.

Our PUR materials can be used in all kinds of buildings and are just as easy to apply in existing structures as in new constructions. The material is also exceptionally durable and maintains its high performance throughout the building's lifetime – providing significant energy savings over the long term.

Foam boards in PUR and PIR from Tinby Skumplast can be used for walls, floors, and roofs, behind rain screens and under roof overhangs. The boards can be manufactured according to the customer's specific requirements.

PUR and PIR insulation boards do not absorb water, ensuring that their declared thermal conductivity is not increased by water absorption. Additionally, PUR and PIR foam are thermosetting materials that can be easily processed with cutting tools.

PUR and PIR foam are dimensionally stable within the temperature range they are exposed to during normal use. The foam material will not shrink or settle over time. As a result, no areas will develop in the building components where the insulation collapses or is degraded by pests.

IAA and WindEnergy 2024

Tinby Skumplast's polyurethane foam panels are used for insulation in refrigerated and freezer trucks, containers, and other transportation units due to the material's low weight and high compressive strength. Our goal is to reach potential customers and showcase our capabilities at the exhibition.

PURfection: New Danish-developed technology aims to create a circular solution for a widely used plastic type.

Polyurethane – also known as PUR – is used in everything from refrigerators, shoes, and mattresses to wind turbine blades and cars. This versatile plastic type makes up eight percent of global plastic production but is very difficult to recycle. Now, a number of large companies and knowledge partners are joining forces to make used PUR plastic recyclable, so it can replace fossil-based polyurethane.

Tinby x Plastic Pavilion 2023

Tinby is exhibiting at the Plastic Pavilion 2023 at the UIA World Congress of Architects in Copenhagen. Together with our sister companies, we are highlighting the importance of the indispensable properties of plastic and the role they play in building, creating, and shaping a greener future. 

Tinby Skumplast A/S and Tinby A/S will merge as of June 21, 2022.

Tinby Skumplast A/S moved from Tjæreborg to Søndersø in early 2021, where Tinby A/S is located. Michael V. Therkelsen, who is the CEO of Tinby A/S, still holds the overall responsibility for the Tinby Group, including the former Tinby Skumplast A/S. Kim Holm Hansen continues to be responsible for the daily operations at Sunekær.
