Description
Thermobreak® No-Clad External Insulation delivers a robust, ready-to-install solution for external duct and pipe insulation. Engineered with Sekisui’s advanced physically crosslinked technology, it combines a closed-cell polyolefin foam core with a heavy-duty, UV-resistant, puncture-proof foil facing, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming metal cladding.
Key Features & Benefits
• Exceptional Thermal Efficiency: Low thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/m·K at 23°C, ensuring excellent insulation and long-term energy savings
• Built for External Durability:
• UV Resistance: Withstands 3000 hours of QUV exposure with no loss of performance or appearance.
• Salt & Weather Resistance: No visible degradation after immersion in 5% salt solution or outdoor exposure.
• Ultra-Tough Foil Facing: Provides puncture, tear, and tensile strength, significantly extending service life.
• Superior Fire & Smoke Safety: Complies with major international fire standards including ASTM E84 (25/50), BS 476 Class 0, AS 1530.3, and is FM Approved (FM 4924) for tube insulation up to 8” IPS and 50 mm wall thickness.
• Ease of Installation: Lightweight and easy to fabricate, with an optional repositionable adhesive backing that reduces labor costs and installation time compared to traditional cladding systems.
• Environmental & Health Advantages:
• Fiber-free, non-irritant, and odorless.
• Green Star compliant (VOC) and zero global warming potential (GWP).
• Manufactured without CFCs, HCFCs, PVC, or formaldehyde.
• Resistant to fungal growth and ozone degradation.
• Proven Reliability: Installed in landmark projects worldwide, including Yas Marina Circuit (Abu Dhabi), Al Khorayef Tower (KSA), and Mall of Qatar (Doha), Thermobreak® No-Clad is trusted for its long-term performance in harsh climates.
