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.
