Technoform Low Lambda Polyamide thermal barriers improve performance in windows, doors and façade systems

Supporting energy-efficient homes and buildings, Technoform Low Lambda Polyamide (PA) thermal barriers improve performance in windows, doors and façade systems. Achieving higher thermal performance with lower assembly U-factors and better condensation resistance, this advancement in PA technology helps fenestration product manufacturers meet U.S. and Canadian energy codes.
 
Technoform’s thermal barrier innovation reduces the conductivity of the PA material itself. Lower conductivity PA, often referred to as “low lambda,” allows lower assembly U-factors in aluminum framing designs – without widening the thermal barrier. This efficient and cost-effective approach simplifies manufacturing and supply chain complexity.
 
“It’s now possible to improve the performance of an existing product’s design without changing extrusions, simply by substituting the existing barrier with one made of lower-conductivity PA,” explained Technoform’s Bill Blazek.
 
Technoform Low Lambda PA 66 GF25 special glass fiber-reinforced, dry impact-resistant mixture has a lambda value of 0.198 W/(m•K), which is more than a 30% improvement over standard PA. Its high-precision processing and mechanical stability produce durable, slim profiles and frame sizes, while saving raw materials and maintaining required U-factor values.
