Application

Primarily for use in the lagging of chilled, cold, hot and heating pipe work.

Description

Supaphen is a high performance rigid phenolic thermal pipe insulation used primarily for the lagging of chilled, cold, hot and heating pipe work. It complies with the requirements of product standard BS EN 14314 Thermal insulation products for building equipment and industrial installations – factory made phenolic foam (PF) products.


Features and benefits:

  • Fire and smoke safe and has been tested at Warrington Fire in the UK and Belgium as a pipe section to the required standard EN 13501-1 achieving BL-s1,d0.
  • Highly thermally efficient with a maximum aged K-value (thermal conductivity)tested to European standard EN 12667 of 0.025 W/m·K.
  • Verified in accordance with the requirements of EN 15804:2012+A1:2013 - under the BRE Global Verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
  • Manufactured as a rigid block at a standard density of 40
  • kg/m³. MW Insulation fabricate pipe section from block at a uniform thickness and to close tolerances ensuring a tight fir to the pipe.
  • Impregnated with a passivating silicate solution at foam manufacturing stage and the inner bore of Supephen pipe sections are treated with a factory-applied, dust-suppressing passivating bore coating solution.
  • A fire-rated aluminium foil vapour barrier is applied as standard to the pipe sections. Alternative factory-applied facings are also available - Proclad 150 or Vapor Fas 62-05 in silver, embossed, black or white.
  • High density version also available, specified separately.
  • Environmentally safe - CFC- and HCFC-free; GWP lass than 5.
  • Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP).
