Industrial Insulation Overview
Roxul offers a number of high-performance pipe and vessel insulation products for demanding, high-temperature industrial applications.
All of Roxul’s industrial insulation products are made from natural stone and contain a minimum of 40% recycled content. They are green products designed to stand up to the harsh conditions of North America’s oil and gas, power generation, and petrochemical industries.
From extreme cold to scorching heat, and moisture intense environments, Roxul’s pipe insulations effectively reduce noise while providing excellent thermal performances, and fire and water resistance for the protection of personnel, equipment, as well as the planet.
Fire Resistant
The stone wool and recycled content combination in Roxul’s industrial insulations makes these products non-combustible and fire resistant. These products are designed for operating temperatures up to 1200°F (650°C), withstanding the heat of flames up to 2150ºF (1177ºC) without melting. Roxul industrial insulations are excellent barriers to flame spread and critical lines of defence in fire control for personnel and equipment in plants and pipelines.
Noise Control
Roxul insulations’ stone wool compositions have unique non-directional structures and densities to effectively reduce airflow and essentially, sound transmissions. These denser structures, coupled with tight, seamless joints create effective barriers to noise and contribute to much quieter and safer work environments.
Water Resistant
Roxul’s industrial insulations do not absorb water or hold moisture. Their dense stone wool content naturally repels and drains water away from pipes and vessles without ever compromising R-value. Ideally, these products do not promote fungi, mildew, or bacteria growth and are chemically inert to eliminate corrosion.
Easy Installation
All Roxul industrial insulations are easy to handle on job sites. The products’ higher densities make them simple to cut with a serrated knife for clean straight edges and proper fits at the point of installation. Quick and easy cutting means less waste and faster installation, which saves money on labor and lost production time. Quick and easy cutting also means fast and simple routine maintenance.
Eco-friendly Features
Roxul’s innovative pipe insulations offer a world of green features, which help developers earn LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points across six construction categories and help industrial plants contribute to a much greener planet. Roxul’s industrial pipe insulations’ greenest features include:
- Natural, inorganic material with recycled content
- Non-combustible without dangerous chemicals
- Excellent sound absorption for acoustical comfort
- Higher R-values for consistent thermal performance
- Chemically inert for minimizing indoor air quality pollutants
- Resistance to growth of mold, fungi, and bacteria
- CFC and HCFC free product and process
