Kingspan Kooltherm 20mm Thick x 76mm Bore x 1m Long - Class O Phenolic Pipe Insulation

Kingspan pipe insulation sections have been developed to give optimum performance in terms of insulation efficiency, compressive strength, fire resistance, and most importantly, cost. It gives excellent value for money.

Phenolic pipe insulation is one of the most popular pipe lagging materials on the market alongside glasswool and rockwool insulation. However, compared to these two, phenolic pipe insulation has a vastly superior lower thermal conductivity. It will keep pipes warm or cold better than the vast majority of insulation materials in existence.

This characteristic allows for much thinner pipe insulation thicknesses than other materials would allow, which in turn means less space required within boxing-ins, ceiling voids and other areas where space is at a premium.

It's only really bested by Aerogel pipe insulation, which is not something that is widely available due to its cost and difficulty to install. Therefore it could be said that Kingspan pipe insulation is the best pipe lagging if judged by its ability to thermally insulate pipework alone. It is easy to install and works well on all kinds of pipework across project types.

Key Features & Benefits:

Thermal Performance:

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

Fire Performance:

Kingspan pipe Insulation has excellent fire resistance as detailed below.

• When exposed to fire, the outer surface of this phenolic lagging develops a thick carbonaceous layer that limits heat generation and retards further flame spread. 
• Excellent fire and smoke performance. Refer to product literature for details.

Moisture Resistance:

Kingspan Kooltherm pipe insulation offers excellent moisture resistance:

• Foil pipe insulation with a closed-cell structure effectively eliminates the risk of moisture absorption into the insulation.
• The factory applied facing on Kooltherm Pipe Insulation products and systems provides a high performance vapour barrier jacket by preventing moisture from reaching the phenolic material within.
• A factory applied low permeability multiple layer vapour barrier jacket is recommended for low temperature sub zero applications.

Environmental:

• Kingspan pipe insulation are filled with a thermally efficient CFC / HCFC-free blowing agent that has low Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP).
• Kooltherm Pipe Insulation can directly contribute towards the award of several credits under the previous and current versions of BREEAM
• Kooltherm Pipe Insulation is manufactured to a BS EN ISO 14001: 2015 (Environmental management systems. Requirements with guidance for use) scheme, qualifying for the Responsible Sourcing credit.

Value For Money:

• Kingspan Kooltherm phenolic pipe insulation is long-lasting and durable. Due to its closed-cell nature, the thermal efficiency does not deteriorate with time. So Kingspan Kooltherm will bring you long-lasting energy savings.
• Also, due to its very fine makeup, a 15mm thick Kingspan Kooltherm would have almost the same thermal efficiency as say a 20mm thick fibreglass or mineral wool pipe insulation. This means you will need a lesser amount of Kingspan Kooltherm when compared to other pipe-insulating materials. Not just pipe insulation, you will also save on cladding insulation like PIB or metal cladding, especially in larger installations.

Applications:

• Kingspan pipe insulation can be used to insulate all types of pipework including mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, multiplex and plastic pipework.
• Kooltherm is ideal to insulate pipework in HVAC applications or building services. They are used in all types of building work - residential, commercial or industrial.
