It needs to have good insulation performance to reduce the evaporation rate of liquefied natural gas. Polyurethane is usually used as the insulation material. Polyurethane has good insulation performance. The thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam board is between 0.024W / (m·K) and 0.032W / (m·K).
