Gaetano Pesce (8 November 1939 – 3 April 2024)

Moving against the stream of rational, functional modernism in the 1960s and early 70s, Mr. Pesce experimented with materials and production methods to create furniture pieces imbued with political or religious meaning for brands from Cassina to B&B Italia.

Many would go on to become icons of Italian design including the Up5 chair – an innovative vacuum-packed chair designed to resemble a female prisoner – which he designed for B&B Italia precursor C&B.

Pesce moved to New York in 1983 and began to move away from mass production to create "standardised series" in everyday materials like resin, adapting conventional production techniques to create varied and imperfect outcomes.

The result are pieces such as the 1884 Pratt chair, which toe the line between functional design and decorative art, helping to create a new category that would later become collectible design.

Mr. Pesce was born in the Italian city of La Spezia in November 1939, only two months after the start of world war two.

As was common at the time, he trained in both architecture and design, studying first at the University of Venice and later at the Venice Institute of Industrial Design.

Among his architecture projects is the Organic Building in Osaka from 1993, with its plant-covered facade made of orange fiberglass that served as a precursor to today's vegetation-covered green walls.

But Mr. Pesce's most pioneering and well-known work happened in the world of design. In the late 1960s, he became one of the leaders of Italy's Radical Design movement, rejecting modernism's rigid focus on forms dictated by function.

Instead, Pesce focused on the idea that functional objects, much like art, could carry a deeper message.

One of the most famous examples is the controversial Up5 chair from 1969, which manufacturer B&B Italia describes as "the first product of Italian design with a political meaning".

The Power Of Polymer: Unfolding The Magic Of Polyurethane Foam Production

INTRODUCTION:

In the dynamic and evolving world of polymer science, one name specifically stands out due to its versatility and vast applicability – Polyurethane. A byproduct of the mind-boggling chemical reaction between two liquid materials, polyurethane is a unique type of polymer that effectively transforms into a foam. This article endeavors to offer you a detailed look into the exciting world of polyurethane foam production

THE DYNAMIC DUO:

Polyurethane foam is produced when two chemically distinct liquid materials – commonly referred to as the “”A”” component and “”B”” component – are combined under specifically controlled conditions.

The “”A”” component, or Polymeric MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate), is a reactive isocyanate that boasts a relatively low viscosity level, enabling it to mix flawlessly with the “”B”” component. It has a brownish coloration and often exudes a slightly sweet smell.

Meanwhile, the “”B”” component, also known as Polyol, is a polyether compound that is generally less reactive than its “”A”” counterpart. It is characterized by a pale, almost transparent color and presents a tasteless, odorless profile.

POLYURETHANE PRODUCTION:

Let’s delve into the fascinating process through which these two distinct liquids join forces to produce the mighty polyurethane foam.

When combined, the polyether polyol and the polymeric MDI kickstart an exothermic chemical reaction that generates a considerable amount of heat. During this process, tiny gas bubbles are formed, which get trapped within the polymer structure, eventually giving rise to what we commonly recognize as foam. This intriguing process is commonly referred to as “”foaming.””

The reaction’s speed and the cell structure’s quality are heavily dependent on the specific quantities and properties of the A and B components. Manipulating these parameters allows for the production of a wide variety of foam types from rigid and semi-rigid to flexible. Additionally, various catalysts and surfactants can be added to control the cell structure’s size and distribution, as well as the reaction speed.

The transformation process from a liquid state to a solid, foamed state is surprisingly quick – often taking less than a few minutes. However, it’s noteworthy to mention that the foam continues to cure and reach its complete strength over the course of a few hours or even days.

APPLICATIONS OF POLYURETHANE FOAM:

The versatility of polyurethane foam is extraordinary. From furniture and bedding to automotive applications, thermal insulation in construction, and even in the footwear industry, polyurethane foam has spread its roots far and wide.

UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENCE:

The combination of a polyether polyol and a polymeric MDI generates not just heat but also a new product – urethane. Urethane forms strong, resilient bonds that contribute to the flexible, durable nature of the resultant foam. This is what makes polyurethane an excellent choice for various applications that require durability, flexibility, and excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties.

In conclusion, the creation of polyurethane foam from two liquid materials is a mesmerizing example of polymer formation, which encapsulates the dexterity and capability of synthetic chemistry. By manipulating the compounds’ properties and the conditions under which the reaction occurs, scientists and engineers have managed to expand the realms of possibility, thereby furthering the boundaries of modern industrial applications. Thus, polyurethane foam not only offers an excellent material for various purposes but also profoundly echoes the power and potential of polymer science.

Developing more sustainable and recyclable polyurethane foams

A team of researchers from the Center for Education and Research on Macromolecules (CERM) at the University of Liège (Belgium) has developed an innovative process that rethinks the manufacturing of polyurethane (PU) foams without the use of isocyanates—highly toxic agents—while being recyclable. This study is published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition.

Polyurethane (PU) foams are indispensable products in our daily-life, and are available as rigid and flexible materials. For decades, rigid PU foams have played a major role in energy savings when used as the most efficient insulating panels in the construction sector (e.g., floor, wall and roof insulation in buildings) or in household items such as refrigerators (walls and doors). Flexible PU foams are used as comfort materials, e.g., mattresses, sofas, armchairs, car seats, etc., but are also used for sound insulation and shock protection.

Although inexpensive, these materials are prepared from toxic compounds and are difficult to recycle. "PU foams are prepared from isocyanates, which are highly reactive and toxic chemical substances," explains Christophe Detrembleur, FNRS Research Director at the Center for Education and Research on Macromolecules (CERM) within the CESAM research unit at the University of Liège.

Insulation 101: Benefits and Types of Insulation

Commercial building owners invest in quality insulation materials because of their numerous benefits. Insulation helps enhance the overall performance of any commercial building, decreases harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and helps keep your energy bills from increasing.  

In addition, adding insulation to your establishment can also reduce the number of noises coming in and out. This is beneficial mainly for establishments that require better acoustics or sound barriers. Let's learn more about the different types of insulation material available now.

Batt Insulation

Professionals use batt insulation efficiently, one of the most affordable options available today. It comes with two options; with or without facing. Professionals must place this per specifications to resist water vapor transfer. Most insulation today contains recycled materials such as sand. Fiberglass also includes sand which is an environmentally friendly content source.

Batt insulation can either be fiberglass, cotton, or stone wool blankets. Fiberglass is the most common type out of the rest. It is the perfect insulation for attics, walls, ceilings, crawl spaces, and basements.

Blown-in Insulation

When it comes to blown-in insulation, proper installation is a must. Professionals should utilize special equipment and safety measures to ensure long-term function. In addition to being primarily recycled, cellulose blown-in insulation also contains fire-retardant properties. It also resists insects, rodents, and mold and impressively creates a good sound barrier. Once the professionals finish the application, there are also available products with insulation that you can incorporate to enhance your commercial building, such as an insulated roof hatch.

Spray Foam Insulation

If you prefer an insulation material that forms an air barrier, then spray foam insulation should be the option on your list. This material can effectively cover your walls, floors, and ceiling cavities against air movement. This includes spaces around electrical outlets, light fixtures, and walls that meet windows and doors.

Professionals use spray foams in open cavities, like in new construction, crawl spaces, rim joists, and attics. You can also use this on remodeled homes. You can apply the spray foam if the cavities are unrestricted and accessible. Here are the two varieties of spray-foam insulation;

Closed-cell SPF- is a type of spray foam insulation that adds structural strength and is a rigid, vapor-resistant foam that doesn't require replacement in case of a flood.

Open-cell SPF- spray foam insulation that offers identical insulation advantages but does not act as a water barrier or vapor retarder.

Air Sealing

Controlling the air leakage of an establishment is critical to effective insulation. You can do a great job protecting an establishment, but if air can seep through gaps or cracks in the building envelope, you lose your valuable heated or conditioned air.

Concrete Block Insulation

A concrete block's center contains insulating materials such as polystyrene, polyisocyanurate or polyiso, and polyurethane. The hollow centers of concrete blocks can be filled by pouring and injecting loose foam beads or liquid foam. Some professionals create concrete blocks that support rigid foam inserts.  

Reflective System

Unlike most typical insulation, which resists convective and conductive heat flow, reflective insulation works by reflecting radiant heat away from your commercial building. These insulation types are best for hot and humid climates, primarily if you have cooling air ducts in the attic. According to research, radiant barriers can lower cooling costs by up to 5% to 10% when utilized in a warm, sunny temperature.  

There are still other insulation options available. Ensure to collaborate well with your architect, engineer, or contractor to choose the best insulation option based on your commercial building's needs and your project budget.

Selecting your mattress

There's nothing even worse than a mattress that's past its sell-by day. You keep rolling into the centre, you awaken rigid from head to toe, you're tired constantly. Sound acquainted? Well, mattresses must be replaced every 6 to 8 years, so maybe it's time to get a new one. We have actually streamlined a couple of meanings to help you reach grips with the essentials. Air vents: These are positioned on the side of mattresses to enhance air-flow and keep fillings fresh. Fillings: There is a variety of various products used for mattress fillings: cotton (breathable as well as moisture-wicking), woollen (extravagant and also durable); foam (body cushioning), polyester (hypoallergenic) and also a lot more. Gauge: You might hear people discuss the 'gauge' of coils, which is the density of the cable. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the cable and also the stronger the mattress (so a 12 gauge mattress is firmer than a 14 gauge one). Hybrid: A hybrid mattress utilises a combination of pocket springs and memory foam. They're good for people that like both the assistance of pocket springs integrated with the body-moulding and pressure-relieving residential properties of memory foam. Memory foam: Made of polyurethane, memory foam moulds to your shape to target assistance. It's often combined with other materials to guarantee air-flow and also breathability. Mini-springs: These are used to boost the spring matter of a pocket sprung mattress. They are layered on top of anything over 2,000 pocket springs for additional convenience. Open up coil: A widely-made, conventional type of mattress with interlinked coils. A little stronger, a lot more inexpensive and lighter than a pocket spring mattress, but the springs are all attached which can suggest extra 'jump' for resting partners. Pocket spring: Each spring is wrapped independently with product to ensure that they relocate separately of each other. This gives your body assistance where it requires it, and also indicates when you move you won't disrupt your companion. Can be extra costly as well as heavier than open coil mattresses. Tension: This suggests the suppleness or gentleness of the bed. It's a personal choice, but the basic guideline is that larger individuals need a stronger tension as well as lighter individuals require a softer tension. Just as, back sleepers might intend to opt for a stronger tension, and side sleepers might require a softer tension to maintain the back aligned. Don't neglect, the convenience layer and also fillings of the mattress will also influence exactly how 'soft' or 'firm' it feels. Ticking: This basically implies the cover of the mattress, which can be made in a range of materials like cotton or viscose. The type of product utilised can impact durability and also air flow. Some ticking can be treated to make it anti-bacterial, waterproof, anti-static, and also fend off allergen. Tufting: Tufting is when tapes are pulled through the mattress at intervals and also secured on each side. It maintains the filling of the mattress in place so the mattress doesn't shed its framework.

Polyurethane Foam Insulation and Concrete Lifting Services in Winnipeg, MB

Homeowners in Winnipeg, MB, face unique challenges due to the city’s extreme weather conditions, ranging from cold winters to heavy rains. Over time, these environmental factors can lead to uneven concrete surfaces and poorly insulated homes, causing structural and energy efficiency issues. Fortunately, polyurethane foam offers a versatile solution for both concrete lifting and insulation, making it an excellent choice for Winnipeg residents. In this post, we’ll explore how polyurethane foam works, its benefits, and why it’s a smart investment for your property.

What Is Polyurethane Foam?

Polyurethane foam is a durable, lightweight material used in both insulation and concrete lifting. It’s created by mixing two chemical compounds that expand into a rigid foam when combined. This foam is injected into various surfaces, where it fills gaps and voids, providing support, stability, and insulation.

How Polyurethane Foam Works for Concrete Lifting

Concrete surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, patios, and garage floors can sink or become uneven due to shifting soil, erosion, or poor compaction during installation. This not only creates safety hazards but also detracts from the aesthetic appeal of your property.

Polyurethane foam lifting, also known as slabjacking or polyjacking, is a highly effective technique to raise and level sunken concrete slabs. The process involves drilling small holes in the affected area and injecting the expanding foam beneath the concrete. As the foam expands, it lifts the slab back into place, stabilizing the surface without the need for costly replacements.

Key advantages of using polyurethane foam for concrete lifting include:

Quick and Non-InvasiveUnlike traditional methods that involve removing and replacing entire slabs, polyurethane foam lifting is minimally invasive. The small injection holes are easily patched, and the area can be used almost immediately after the procedure, often within hours.

Long-Lasting ResultsThe foam is moisture-resistant and durable, ensuring that the lifted concrete remains stable for many years. Its ability to withstand harsh conditions makes it ideal for Winnipeg’s extreme climate.

Cost-EffectivePolyurethane concrete lifting is typically more affordable than tearing out and repouring concrete slabs. Plus, the process is faster and requires less labor, further reducing costs.

Polyurethane Foam Insulation: Energy Efficiency for Winnipeg Homes

In addition to concrete lifting, polyurethane foam is widely used for home insulation. Its high R-value (a measure of thermal resistance) makes it one of the most efficient insulating materials available, offering superior protection against heat loss during Winnipeg’s cold winters.

Polyurethane foam insulation is applied as a spray and expands to fill cavities in walls, attics, and crawl spaces. It creates an airtight seal, reducing heat transfer and preventing drafts. This insulation solution provides several key benefits:

Improved Energy EfficiencyBy preventing heat from escaping, polyurethane foam insulation helps reduce heating and cooling costs.
