Resin-bonded high temperature resistant mineral wool, cylindrical sections. The pipe sections are supplied plain, however they can be covered with aluminium foil where a vapour barrier is required.
U-Thermo Pipe
Features & Benefits
- Mineral wool developed for high temperature applications
- Excellent lambda values (thermal conductivity) which reduces heat loss
- Shot free
- Lightweight products, easy to handle
- Soft touch, easy cutting
- Outstanding flexibility: Pipe sections can be opened and closed several times without breaking into two pieces
- Fast and efficient installation
- Chemically inert and when applied under controlled conditions will not promote or cause corrosion
- Meets the European criteria in being non-hazardous to health (EUCEB certificate)
Application
Thermal and acoustic insulation of pipe work in power generation, oil refineries, chemical plants and on industrial steam and process pipe work.
Durability
- Will not sustain vermin
- Will not breed or promote fungi, mould or bacteria
- Will not settle under vibration
- Rot proof
- Dimensionally stable but care must be exercised to limit moisture ingress as this not only compromises the structural integrity but interferes with the thermal resistance properties of the products as well
Fire and Acoustic Properties
Fire Properties
- Non-combustible, fire class A1, according to EN 13 501
- Non-combustible - tested to SANS 10177-5
Acoustic Properties
Will provide effective acoustical insulation where there is a need to reduce noise levels from pipe work. Actual performance varies with thickness and surface finish.
