Phenolic Foam Insulation (Advanced) | Industrial pipelines, farmhouse insulation, fire-prone areas | Fire Resistance ▲▲▲ (BS476 Class 0), Thermal Conductivity 0.02 W/m·K (blocks 90% heat) | Highest fire safety, minimal heat loss, durable for long-term use | Higher cost, requires protective coating in corrosive environments |
Phenolic Foam Insulation (Base) | General pipelines, moderate environments | Fire Resistance ▲▲ (BS476 Class 1), Thermal Conductivity 0.025 W/m·K (blocks 85% heat) | Cost-effective, adequate thermal performance, customizable lengths (min. 1m–100m) | Lower fire rating, less moisture resistance (ASTM C739) |
Fiberglass Insulation | Residential HVAC, general industrial | Fire Resistance ▲ (Class B), Thermal Conductivity 0.04 W/m·K (blocks 70% heat) | Lightweight, affordable, easy installation | Poor fire rating, higher thermal loss, prone to moisture damage |
Polyurethane Foam Insulation | Refrigeration systems, cold storage | Fire Resistance ▲ (Class 1), Thermal Conductivity 0.022 W/m·K (blocks 88% heat) | Superior thermal performance, moisture-resistant (ASTM C739) | Flammable without additives, higher cost than fiberglass |
Aluminum Foil Insulation | Solar panels, radiant barrier applications | Fire Resistance ▲ (Class 1), Reflectivity ▲▲▲ (97% radiant heat reflection) | Lightweight, excellent radiant heat reflection, low thermal conductivity | Requires additional insulation layers, poor durability in harsh weather |
Cellular Glass Insulation | Chemical plants, high-temperature zones | Fire Resistance ▲▲▲ (Class A), Chemical Resistance ▲▲▲ (ASTM C1617) | Non-combustible, withstands extreme chemicals and temperatures | Brittle material, high cost, limited flexibility for customization |
