The growth in production sectors and the building industry has been adversely affected by the global crisis. The slowdown in the manufacturing sector was due to the combined impact of fall in exports followed by a decline in domestic demand. These extraordinary difficult times resulted in companies inventing more efficient means of operation.
High crude oil prices have been one of the contributory reasons for the economic meltdown. Oil demand moderation and with sentiments turning negative on commodity exchanges, caused the oil prices to nose dive. This provides us a lesson on the increasing need to curb energy consumption, which happens to be one of the major components of the industry, including commercial building operation. The building sector accounts for approx 30-35 per cent of the total energy consumption in the country.
The cause of energy saving has also been taken up by the Indian Green Building Council formed in 2001, which set up the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) India committee to rate buildings on environmental criteria. The second system that is endorsed by the government and promoted by the Energy Resource Institute (TERI) is the Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA).
Each of the products that we offer i.e. INSUshield (FR, closed cell, chemically crosslinked polyethylene), INSUboard (extruded polystyrene) and INSUreflector (radiant heat reflective insulation material) are for the purpose of saving energy in different segments of the industry and for different market applications. All our insulation products are manufactured from virgin raw material, he added.
In our endeavor to provide world-class materials and continuously upgrade these to comply with the latest market requirements, we now offer Class 'O' fire rated material in FR, closed cell, chemically crosslinked polyethylene.
We are the first company to successfully commission India's first extruded polystyrene plant at our Nagothane polystyrene complex. Our plant uses state-of-the-art technology to produce 1,50,000 m3 of extruded polystyrene thermal insulation board using environment friendly CO2 as blowing agent. The plant is capable of producing boards with various thicknesses from 25 mm to 100 mm & density ranging from 30 kg to 50 kg/m3. This would help the nation to save the much-needed foreign exchange and service the home industry to meet energy efficiency requirements for the commercial building sector.

'INSUreflector' is a radiant heat reflective insulation material made of polyethylene air bubble film (ABF) laminated with aluminum foil on one or both sides. It is a low e-reflective insulation material with a low mass to air ratio, which effectively blocks the radiant heat transfer. The bright surface of the aluminium foil, which encases the FR polyethylene air bubble material, reflects 96 per cent to 99 per cent infra-red radiation received by the surface of the heated slated roof.
'INSUboard' – Extruded polystyrene is an ultimate solution for building insulation. It enhances the durability of the building structure and resists extreme ambient conditions, absorbs thermal shocks, mechanical loading and stresses without any deterioration in insulation properties of the product.
Amongst others, there are 4 primary reasons why Supreme's Thermal Insulation Division is a choice of discerning customers seeking superior insulation solutions:
