Building Materials
Smarter buildings. Lower energy. Better comfort.
Phase change materials add invisible thermal mass to walls, ceilings, and floors — flattening interior temperature swings and reducing HVAC demand.
The challenge
Lightweight construction, heavyweight thermal performance.
Modern construction trends toward lightweight assemblies that heat and cool quickly — comfortable in the morning, uncomfortable by afternoon. Microencapsulated PCM integrated into gypsum, plaster, concrete, or insulation gives those assemblies the thermal storage of much heavier materials.
The result is a more comfortable interior, smaller HVAC equipment, and meaningful energy savings over the building's life.
Microtek's advantage
Why PCM works here.
- Reduces peak heating and cooling loads
- Improves occupant comfort and reduces drafts
- Compatible with gypsum, concrete, insulation, and coatings
- Helps achieve LEED, Passive House, and net-zero goals
- Permanent — works for the life of the building
