Insulation Material

Nitrile Rubber Insulation is a very versatile and flexible insulation. It is widely used the Industrial insulation, air-conditioning, plumbing and Hvac industries. It is a closed cell elastomeric insulation and is resistant to water vapour, oil and most acids.

Nitrile Flexible Elastomeric Rubber Insulation Rolls and Sheets are closed cell  foam structures with a non-porous composition that offers high thermal efficiency and protection from imminent condensation problems and helps as in sound absorption. Depending on the requirements of the market, this product can be coated with different types of foils and have a factory-applied self-adhesive backing. The installation time is reduced by more than 40% due to the ease in cutting as well as quick adhesion of the material.

Nitrile Rubber Rolls and Sheets come in handy where Nitrile Tubes cannot be used on pipes with big diameter. Other applications include ventilation ducts, tanks, reservoirs and engine rooms as it provides sound and thermal protection. Not only are they environmentally friendly, but they also don’t pose any harm to human health as it has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than five and a low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) of less than 6 µg/m²/hr in 24 hours.  Nitrile Rubber Rolls and Sheets also comply with LEED requirements.

• Big diameter pipes (where tubes can’t be used)

• Ventilation ducts

• Tanks and reservoirs

• Engine rooms (as sound attenuates)

• Fittings (valves, flanges, bends)

In order to install Nitrile Rubber rolls & sheets in a professional manner, please consult the Installation Handbook.

Properties:

• Fire rated “CLASS O” as per BS 476 Parts 6 & 7
• Very low water vapor permeance (0 perms)
• High water vapor diffusion factor (> 17,000)
• Very low water absorption rate (0.06% by volume)
• High thermal efficiency (λ24 Degree C = 0.033 W/mK;  λ46 Degree C = 0.035 W/mK)
• Chemical resistance – resistant to most chemicals (sodium, silica, fluoride, chloride, etc.)

Rockwool Slab Insulation semi-rigid and rigid boards manufactured from stable rock fibers bonded with a minimum quantity of thermosetting resin binder. ROCKWOOL RB slabs are capable of withstanding extreme temperature up to 750 °C and are light weight, strong, resilient, easy to handle, and easy to cut to suit intricate shapes.

Facing Type- Rockwool Slab Insulation are available unfaced or with facing of ALG, glass reinforced Aluminium Foil/ Kraft paper laminate facing (FSK), Black Fiber Glass Tissue (BGT)

Acoustic Performance- Rockwool Slab Insulation achieve excellent acoustic performances (sound absorption coefficients, sound insulation, and impact sound isolation) when tested in accordance to various relevant ASTM standards. RB Slabs achieve Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) values up to 1, when tested in accordance to ASTM C423.

Fire Saferty Performance

Unfaced ROCKWOOL  RB Slabs are non-combustible when tested in accordance with IS 3144, BS 476 (part 4), ISO 1182 and ASTM E136 and are classified as Class A1, in accordance with European norms. Unfaced, FSK and ALG-faced RB Slabs have the following fire safety rating achievements:

• Class 1 surface spread of flame in accordance to BS 476 (part 7)
• Class 0 in accordance to the BS 476 (part 6 & 7) and to British Building Regulations.
• Surface burning characteristics in accordance to ASTM E84 / UL 723 (a: Fire Spread Index: Less than 25, b: Smoke Developed Index: Less than 50)
