Manufacturer: KINGSPAN TECHNICAL INSULATION

Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Sections

Kingspan Kooltherm premium performance pipe insulation is one of the thinnest and most efficient products available for the insulation of pipework in building services / HVAC applications. Offering excellent fire and smoke performance, it is available in a range of thicknesses to suit different performance specifications and may be used on mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, multiplex and plastic pipework.

With a 25 year aged thermal conductivity as low as 0.025 W/mK (at 10°C mean), Kooltherm Pipe Insulation is one of the most thermally efficient insulation materials commonly used. A low thermal conductivity allows specified thermal performance standards to be achieved with thinner insulation.

The thermal performance of Kooltherm Pipe Insulation derives mainly from its closed cell properties. Its closed cell structure has been optimised to resist heat transfer. The closed cells have a small solid to void volume ratio, are small and uniform in size, and their construction very fine with extremely thin walls and minimum point contacts (struts). They are filled with a thermally efficient CFC / HCFC-free  blowing agent that has low Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)  and low Global Warming Potential (GWP). As a result of its closed cell, fibre free structure, Kooltherm

Pipe Insulation is unaffected by air infiltration - problems that can be experienced with mineral fibre and which can reduce thermal performance.

Benefits are:

  • Specified thermal performance standards can be achieved with thinner insulation and space can be optimised
  • Excellent fire and smoke performance
  • Superior thermal conductivity as low as of 0.025 W/mK
  • Lightweight and easy to handle making the product quick to install
