Applications
External insulation for metal ductwork
HVAC metal ductwork requires thermal insulation to reduce heat loss, avoid condensation and improve comfort. DUCTWRAP, a flexible Glasswool blanket which is wrapped externally around the ducts, is the insulation solution which is most commonly used for this application.
ISOVER Ductwrap solutions come in the form of blankets specifically designed to be wrapped around air conditioning ducts. The products are applied to the external face of the ductwork and fixed into position mechanically with wire, elastic bands or most commonly, tape.
The mats are manufactured from high quality, non-combustible Glasswool fibres, bonded with an inert thermosetting resin binder and faced with a reinforced Aluminium foil facing that acts as a vapour barrier. A 100mm overlapping flange is provided on one side for a neater appearance and adequate seal.
ISOVER duct insulation solutions provide a range of thermal benefits including heat/energy savings, improved thermal comfort and condensation prevention, as well as providing acoustic insulation to reduce noise transmission through the ductwork system. Ductwrap is lightweight and easy to install, and can be used in environments with a relatively high humidity.
The ISOVER Ductwrap Glasswool solution is certified as non-combustible and complies with South African fire regulation for HVAC ducts insulation (tested to 10 1777 Part 5). They have a Zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP).
