    Rockwool pipe insulation sections are pre-formed stone wool insulation sections with a factory applied foil facing. The sections are rated for insulating pipes operating between 0-250°C and have a density of at least 120kg/m3. The sections have a fire rating of A2l-s1,d0 and are made of chemically inert and pH neutral stone wool that will provide effective insulation for the lifetime of the pipes.

    Rockwool® Pipe Insulation


    Technical Data Sheet
    Description
    Rockwool® Pipe Insulation sections are pre-formed sections of stone wool insulation. Manufactured pre-slit and provided with a
    factory applied foil facing complete with integral self adhesive lap.

    Temperature Rating
    The sections are designed for thermal and acoustic insulation of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning pipework operating in the
    temperature range of 0°C to +250°C.

    Standards and Approvals


    Pipe sections are CE marked in accordance with BS EN 14303. They conform to BS 3958-4, ‘Bonded preformed stone wool sections’
    and can be used to satisfy BS 5422: ‘Method for specifying thermal insulation materials...’.

    The product has been authorised for use in LUL surface and sub-surface premises when installed in accordance with this data sheet
    - please refer to the LUL Approved Product Register website www.LU-apr.uk for specific details.

    Density
    The nominal density is not less that 120 kg/m3.

    Performance - Fire
    Rockwool® Pipe Insulation sections are rated Euroclass A2l-s1,d0 and Class 0 as defined within the Building Regulations.

    Performance - Specific Heat


    The specific heat of Rockwool® is 0.84 KJ/kgK (nom.) at 20°C.

    *The thermal conductivity curve used, depends upon the size of the pipe section.
    Note: Due to the low emissivity of aluminium, heat losses, which depend upon the diameter, thickness and temperature of the pipe
    to be insulated, are reduced by approx. 9% by using aluminium faced sections compared with painted or PVC faced sections.

    pH Neutrality
    Rockwool® Insulation is chemically compatible with all types of pipes, equipment and fittings. (Guidance is given in BS 5970 regarding
    the treatment of austenitic stainless steel pipework and fittings). Stone wool insulation is chemically inert. A typical aqueous extract
    of Rockwool® insulation is neutral or slightly alkaline (pH 7 to 9.5).

    Water Resistance
    Rockwool® Pipe Insulation sections are water repellent. However, when used or stored in the open, the insulation should be protected
    with a waterproof covering. When used to insulate cold pipes, the joints should be sealed with foil tape to prevent condensation.

    Service Temperature
    Rockwool® Pipe Insulation is used to insulate pipes operating at temperatures in the range 0 to 250°C. The sections are used to
    insulate against frost damage. For hot pipes, the limiting temperature of the outer foil face is 80°C to maintain facing bond strength.

    Durability
    Rockwool® Pipe Insulation has been proved in service for over 50 years in all types of exposure. Rockwool® Pipe Insulation will give
    effective protection for the lifetime of the pipes that they insulate.

    Typical Specification
    Pipes to be insulated with ...*mm thick Rockwool® Pipe Insulation, having a nominal density not less than 120 kg/m3, with a factory
    applied facing which is a laminate of close mesh reinforcement between two layers of foil including integral lap for fixing. The whole
    to comply with BS 5422:2009 and BS 5970 water vapour permeance and Building Regulations Class O definition. Fixing to be
    in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, by peeling protective tape from self-adhesive lap and pressing lap smoothly over
    joint.

    *insert required thickness

    Handling
    Rockwool® Pipe Insulation is easily cut to any shape with a sharp knife. When stored outside, avoid contact with the ground and
    cover with a securely anchored waterproof sheet.

    Maintenance
    Once installed Rockwool® Pipe Insulation should need no maintenance.

    Health and Safety


    The safety of Rockwool® stone wool is confirmed by current UK and Republic of Ireland health and safety regulations and EU directive
    97/69/EC: Rockwool® fibres are not classified as a possible human carcinogen.

    Environment
    Made from a renewable and plentiful naturally occuring resource, Rockwool® insulation does not contain (and has never contained)
    gases that have ozone depletion potential (ODP) or global warming potential (GWP). Rockwool® is approximately 97% recyclable.
