ISOVER NUTSHELL CPS-ALU2 Pipe Insulation with Aluminium Foil

ISOVER NUTSHELL CPS-ALU2 is a high-performance mineral wool pipe insulation section designed for professional thermal and acoustic insulation of industrial and HVAC piping systems. This rigid insulation solution features a reinforced aluminium foil facing, which acts as a protective barrier while enhancing the thermal efficiency of the pipeline. By minimizing heat transfer, it ensures optimal temperature control for both heating and cooling applications, contributing to significant energy savings and improved system performance.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this insulation is its superior thermal resistance, which effectively prevents energy loss in technical pipe networks. The integrated aluminium foil facing provides a robust vapor barrier, which is essential for condensation control in chilled water lines and HVAC systems. Its rigid, pre-formed structure allows for rapid and precise installation on standard pipe diameters, ensuring a consistent fit that maintains its integrity over time. Furthermore, the mineral wool composition offers excellent acoustic damping properties, reducing noise transmission through pipe walls in industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Thermal insulation of industrial heating and hot water pipelines
• Condensation control for chilled water and air conditioning piping
• Acoustic insulation for HVAC systems in commercial and industrial buildings
• Energy efficiency upgrades for existing pipe networks

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use in environments where the pipe surface temperature exceeds the maximum operating limits of the mineral wool or the adhesive used in the foil facing. It is also not suitable for direct exposure to harsh chemical environments or extreme mechanical impact without additional protective cladding.

Key specifications

• Material: High-density mineral wool
• Facing: Reinforced aluminium foil
• Application: Thermal and acoustic pipe insulation
• Function: Heat retention and condensation prevention

How to use

To install, select the appropriate section size that matches the outer diameter of your pipe. Open the longitudinal slit of the insulation section, place it around the pipe, and ensure the edges meet tightly. Secure the section using the integrated adhesive strip or appropriate insulation tape to ensure a continuous vapor-tight seal. Ensure all joints are tightly butted together to prevent thermal bridging.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the exact outer diameter of the pipe to ensure a proper fit
• Check the operating temperature range of the system against product specifications
• Ensure the installation environment is dry during the application process
• Confirm if additional mechanical protection is required for high-traffic areas

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure that all seams and joints are sealed with high-quality aluminium tape to maintain the integrity of the vapor barrier. Regularly inspect the insulation for any signs of mechanical damage or moisture ingress to ensure long-term efficiency.
