What are the types of insulation materials for pipelines?

Pipeline insulation material is a material used to wrap pipelines to reduce heat loss, prevent condensation from forming, and protect pipelines from environmental impacts. With the development of the industrial and construction industries, the types of pipeline insulation materials are becoming increasingly diverse. This article will provide you with a detailed introduction to several common pipeline insulation materials.

1、 Rock wool pipe shell

Rock wool pipe shell is a fibrous material made from natural rock melted at high temperature and then blown by centrifugal injection. Rock wool pipe shell has good insulation, fire resistance, and sound absorption properties, and is suitable for insulation of various industrial and civil pipelines. In addition, rock wool pipe shells also have the characteristics of environmental protection, non toxicity, and odorlessness.

2、 Glass wool tube shell

Glass wool pipe shell is an insulation material made by processing glass fibers and their products. The glass wool pipe shell has excellent insulation, heat insulation, and sound absorption properties, as well as good corrosion resistance and weather resistance. Glass wool pipe shells are widely used for pipeline insulation in fields such as petroleum, chemical, power, and construction.

3、 Polyurethane foam pipe shell

Polyurethane foam tube shell is a closed cell thermal insulation material made by reactive foaming of isocyanate and polyether polyol. The polyurethane foam pipe shell has excellent thermal insulation performance, low thermal conductivity and excellent waterproof performance. In addition, the polyurethane foam pipe is ultra-thin and easy to construct. Widely used for insulation of refrigeration pipelines, hot water pipelines, and chemical pipelines.

4、 Rubber tube shell

Rubber casing is an insulation material made by processing rubber and plastic. The rubber plastic pipe shell has good thermal insulation performance, elasticity and anti-aging performance, as well as excellent waterproof performance and corrosion resistance. Rubber casing is widely used for pipeline insulation in fields such as air conditioning, refrigeration, and heating.

5、 Aluminum silicate fiber tube shell

Aluminum silicate fiber tube shell is an insulation material made by processing aluminum silicate fibers. Aluminum silicate fiber pipe shell has excellent insulation performance, high temperature resistance, and thermal shock resistance, and is suitable for insulation of high-temperature pipelines.
