Kingspan Technical Insulation has launched Kingspan K-Roc Pipe Insulation, an A2L/A2-s1,d0 rated pipe insulation suitable for use on HVAC and building services pipework.
The product comprises a mineral wool insulation core with a reinforced aluminium foil facing and is available in a range of sizes for various pipe diameters. The insulation core features longitudinal fibres which provide both rigidity and thermal performance, allowing the product to achieve a thermal conductivity of 0.033 W/mK at 10 °C.
The technology used to shape the pipe sections ensures the round shape of the internal diameter is maintained and adheres closely to the pipework. The shape of the internal diameter is unaffected by loss of material at the assembly cut line — helping to maintain a continuous layer of insulation around the pipe and preventing potential thermal bridges.
The product has been designed to allow easy handling and installation. It is supplied in 1.2 m lengths — allowing large sections of pipework to be insulated in a single fix. Its reinforced aluminium foil facing and wide self-adhesive closing lap also makes the assembly process both quick and secure.
In addition, the product is supported by Kingspan’s Technical Advisory service providing guidance for designers, specifiers, consulting and mechanical engineers, mechanical and electrical M&E contractors, thermal insulation contractors’ as well as building services and facilities managers.
