Thermal Insulator

Thermal insulators are used to reduce the energy loss of the heating and cooling systems in cold and hot seasons. In the following, the information, application, how to check, and the best price of all types of building thermal insulators are provided.

Thermal Insulator Review, Selection, and Pricing

In general, various types of insulators are used in heating and cooling systems to reduce heat loss, and energy consumption, prevent moisture infiltration, and even block sound transmission on building surfaces, pipes, tanks, and ducts.

In addition to the heating and cooling systems, thermal insulators are widely used in various industries such as petrochemical, oil, chemical, automotive, shipbuilding, aircraft, power plant, and pharmaceutical industries.

The evolution of sound and thermal insulators has taken a long path, including the transition period from mineral insulations such as glass wool and stone wool.

It has led to a new generation of insulations known as polymer insulators, as they have many advantages, including ease of installation, flexibility, and lightweightness.

Types of Thermal Insulators

To choose different types of thermal insulators for both cooling and heating equipment, you should pay attention to the ambient temperature as well as environmental conditions and even appropriate safety in different conditions.

One point that is very important in choosing thermal insulators is their economic value; to achieve maximum insulation with the minimum thickness of the insulator.

Mineral Wool Insulation

Mineral wool insulation is made by crushing the granules of slow-melting vulcanic stones. In addition to being non-flammable, these insulators are also heat and sound insulators, which are used in the form of flexible or uncoated light mats to insulate sloping roofs on the underlying plates.

Another notable feature of mineral wool insulation is to prevent the growth of fungus and mold and to be odorless and moisture-repellent.

Stone Wool Insulation

One of the most common thermal insulations available in the market is stone wool insulation, which is lighter than other thermal insulators and maintains its properties after drying.

One of the advantages of these insulations is their simple installation, which has made them popular as they are also compatible with all building materials.

Using them to make the building fire-resistant is one of the most important applications of this insulation. This coating can be used to protect metal structures, elevator shafts, electrical installations, escape corridors, etc.

Glass Wool Insulation

Glass wool insulation is formed by very thin fibers of glass strands that are almost connected and are bundled together after cooling down, they are placed on kraft paper, lead, bitumen, or fiber net.

Due to its non-flammability, glass wool is used to insulate sloping roofs on the sheets of the underlying coating and in flat roofs under the asphalt.

Note: Glass wool must be kept away from moisture as it absorbs water 4~8% of its weight.

Plastics Insulation

These insulations include all kinds of polymers, which, due to the diversity in the types of available plastics, have caused the diversity of this type of thermal insulation in the market.

For example, polystyrene, polyethylene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, and EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer) foam insulations are available with different characteristics and uses.

Foam Glass Insulation

Foam glass, using pure glass, expands up to twenty times its volume and turns into solid and spongy insulating plates. This insulation has good pressure resistance, and one of the important and practical features that has made it classified as thermal insulation is its fire-resistant ability.

Perlite Insulation

Perlite is a type of volcanic material that forms in humid areas. One of the characteristics of this material, that made it a good thermal insulator, is its inorganic nature, as it does not react with most acids and is also resistant to decay and termite attack.

Perlite has significant disadvantages that should be noted. The compressive strength of this insulation is low, so it should not be used in places under high pressure and humidity.

Also, due to the connection of its holes together, it is highly water absorbent, and its resistance decreases as it gets wet.

Fiberboard Insulation

This material is made by compressing felt wool and other plant fibers in the form of rigid boards that easily absorb moisture, become saturated, and lose their mechanical strength and stability against heat transfer.

This insulation also has a weak resistance to fire, which is why it is not a suitable option for use in building construction, but due to its low price and stable dimensions, along with the bottom coating of plastic insulation as a base for asphalt and felt coating in some Projects are used.

Cork Board Insulation

Corkboard insulators are produced by pressing the cotton seeds together with their natural gum and are very expensive.

This thermal insulation is resistant to moisture; that's why it has many fans in high humidity and moisture places and is used in different applications.

The remarkable thing about this insulation is its weak tensile strength, but instead, it has the same high compressive strength.

Thermal Insulator General Advantages

In most cases, thermal insulation is used in different industries, and each one has different applications. Thermal insulators reduce a large amount of energy consumption by maintaining the proper temperature in buildings.

Thermal insulators play an important role in this direction, and the important features of thermal insulation, the following can be mentioned:

• Long lifespan
• Right density
• High resistance to ultraviolet rays
• No deformation against heat and high heat
• Neutrality of insulators against chemicals
• Keeping the heat transfer coefficient constant and improving the thermal performance.
• It is necessary and mandatory to be resistant to germs and fungi
• High thermal insulation resistance against fire and ensuring the safety of residents
  
  

Thermal Insulator Installation Tips

In the implementation of insulation, the following points should be taken into account:

1. The material of the insulation and its covering must be according to the stipulation and instruction of the national building regulations to protect specific parts of the building against fire.
   
   
2. The use of fuel materials as insulation, coating, and other auxiliary materials is not allowed.
   
   
3. For pipes that are prone to freezing, the thickness of the insulation should be chosen by a careful expert, or other methods than insulation should be used.
   
   
4. The thickness of the insulation is determined based on engineering calculations, and note that greater insulation thickness does not always reduce heat loss.
   
   

How to Choose Thermal Insulators

When choosing and ordering insulators, the following should be taken into account:

• Temperature difference between two insulating surfaces
• Heat transfer range of the insulator
• Insulator material and its coating
  
  

Choosing the right thermal insulator depends on the ambient temperature, safety, environmental conditions, and price.

The thickness of thermal insulation should be chosen considering its economic value, that is, to prevent energy wastage with the minimum thickness of insulation. The main thermal insulation materials are:


Light concrete (aerated concrete and floor concrete), light grains, paper and aluminum, mountain cotton, pressed cork, fiberboards, mineral fibers, stone wool, glass wool, foam glass, pumice stone, perlite, gypsum boards with aluminum coating, plastic materials, hollow stems, wood wool and different types of polymer insulation and foams.
