Rockwool Pipe insulation

Rockwool pipe section is a type of insulation material made from rock minerals (such as basalt and slag) that have been melted at high temperatures and then spun into fibers. Rockwool pipe section is commonly used to insulate pipes and ductwork in building and HVAC systems.

DESCRIPTION

ROCKAL Performed Pipe Sections are made of rock wool fibers spun from molten basaltic rocks bonded together by a thermo-setting resin binder.

The fibers are molded around the pipes of different standard diameters at the required thickness and dried to form rigid hollow cylinder insulation, which then is linearly slit to allow easy installation.

Application

• ROCKAL Performed Pipe Section is used over a very wide range of temperatures to insulate all sizes of cold and hot piping. Like domestic water in buildings and chemical processes such as in oil refineries, chemical and Petro-chemical insulation and desalination plants, HVAC chilled water systems, and oil pipelines.
• ROCKAL Pipe Section is used as acoustic insulation of pipelines where gas fluids or solid particles are transferred in high velocities.
• ROCKAL Performed Pipe Section is used as a fireproof insulation for pipes and ducts in high-risk areas

Facing

ROCKAL Rockwool Pipe Section comes non-faced or faced with reflective vapor barrier material (Reinforced Aluminum foil FSK).

Advantages

• Fire-resistant: Rockal Rockwool pipe section has a high melting point and can withstand high temperatures, making it an excellent choice for fireproof insulation.
• Moisture-resistant: Rockal Rockwool is a hydrophobic material, meaning it is resistant to moisture and will not absorb water, which can lead to mold and other moisture-related problems.
• Energy efficiency: Rockal Rockwool provides excellent insulation properties, helping to reduce energy costs and improve the energy efficiency of a building.
• Environmentally friendly: Rockal Rockwool is made from natural, abundant minerals and is produced using renewable energy sources, making it a more environmentally responsible choice than some other types of insulation.
