Insulation Materials for Different Applications
Material selection is a key part of designing an insulation system. The appropriate choice depends on temperature, moisture, equipment geometry, operating conditions and the applicable technical specification.
| Material | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| Mineral / rock wool | Industrial thermal insulation |
| Glass wool | Thermal insulation and selected HVAC systems |
| Ceramic fibre | Specified high-temperature applications |
| LRB | Applications specified for the relevant LRB product |
| Nitrile rubber foam | Chilled-water and HVAC insulation |
| PUF | Suitable thermal insulation systems |
| XPS | Selected building and thermal insulation applications |
| Thermocol / EPS | Specified applications where permitted |
| Aluminium cladding | Protective outer covering for insulation systems |
Important Selection Note: The website should not imply that every material is suitable for every temperature or application. Technical selection, exact grade, density, and thickness must be confirmed prior to procurement and installation.
