Insulation Pipe Sleeve Paroc Section Alucoat T, mineral wool, 30 mm, Ø54 mm, length 1.2 m

Paroc Section Alucoat T is a factory-made mineral wool pipe sleeve with 30 mm thickness, 54 mm inner diameter and a length of 1.2 m. The sleeve is manufactured from stone wool and finished with an aluminium coating (Alucoat) that protects the surface and improves vapour resistance. It is intended for thermal and acoustic insulation of piping in building services and industrial installations, and is compatible with hot and cold water pipes as well as HVAC distribution systems.

Advantages

The aluminium-coated mineral wool sleeve provides consistent thermal resistance and reduces heat loss from insulated pipes. The Alucoat surface adds mechanical protection and enhances vapour retardation to reduce the risk of condensation on cold pipe surfaces. The product is dimensionally stable, non-combustible by nature of mineral wool, and can be fitted quickly around circular pipes to form continuous insulation runs.

Suitable for

• Thermal insulation of hot and cold water pipes
• Insulation of HVAC distribution and return pipes
• Acoustic damping of pipe-borne noise in residential and commercial buildings
• Insulation of industrial pipelines where a lightweight, moisture-resistant sleeve is required

Key specifications

• Material: mineral (stone) wool with aluminium-coated surface
• Thickness: 30 mm
• Inner diameter: 54 mm
• Length: 1.2 m
• Function: thermal and acoustic insulation with enhanced surface vapour resistance
• Fire performance: non-combustible mineral wool (see local codes for system fire rating)

How to use

Select a sleeve matching the pipe diameter and required insulation thickness. Measure and cut to length if necessary, then open the pre-formed split along its longitudinal joint and place it around the pipe so the aluminium-coated face is outward. Butt joints between sleeve sections should be closely butted or staggered and fixed using suitable tape, clamps or adhesive recommended for aluminium-faced mineral wool. Ensure joints, fittings and valves are insulated with shaped pieces or additional sleeve sections to maintain continuous thermal performance.

Usage recommendations

Store the sleeves in a dry, covered area prior to installation. Avoid prolonged exposure of the aluminium surface to mechanical damage; seal edges and joints to maintain vapour resistance. For applications subject to specific fire, acoustic or hygienic requirements, verify compliance with relevant national standards and follow manufacturer guidance for accessories and fastening methods.
