SIP PANELS AND EVALUATION REPORTS

Over the years, evaluation reports have been used to help improve the structural insulated panels industry. This is done through the provision of SIP manufacturers with shared evaluation reports through companies like NTA Inc. SIP panels are composite building materials consisting of a sandwiched layer of rigid polymer form between two layers of structural board. This rigid polymer form layer is mainly used for insulating purposes.

With the help of these evaluation reports, the SIP panels’ manufacturers have started reaping their benefits of standardization. Due to the streamlined specifications obtained from these reports manufacturers are now seeing the demand for their products rise. The evaluation reports have also enabled the manufacturers to have a larger selection of materials.

NTA Inc. is responsible for carrying out product tests, developing and demonstrating compliance with the codes of the International Standardization Organization, as well as conducting quality assurance testing for the SIP panels’ manufacturers, especially those listed on the evaluation reports. Visit www.ntainc.com for more details on SIPs.

Formaldehyde Testing in Modular Homes


Modular homes are fast taking over the real estate sector since they provide cheaper yet durable green housing options. Modular homes are made from products such as particle board and plywood among other treated woods and structural insulated panels (SIPS). The world is in every way aiming to become energy efficient and so the modular homes option is a practical way to go so as to maintain a greener world.
These building materials have revolutionized the housing industry by providing energy efficient materials that allow houses construction to be done in less time. Many building contain a carcinogenic compound called Formaldehyde. Federal laws have been passed to regulate formaldehyde emissions in all wood products. Though measures have been taken to keep the formaldehyde levels below 0.1 PPM, continuous formaldehyde testing after manufacture and distribution is still needed to ensure these materials are safe for humans.
Thus formaldehyde testing conducted by independent bodies such as www.ntainc.com helps to ensure that human life remains safe in the midst of technology advances.
