PIR Air Conditioning Duct Board

What is PIR Air Conditioning Duct Board Made Of?

 

PIR Air Conditioning Duct Board are engineered as sandwich panels consisting of three core components:

 

Aluminum Facings

Both inner and outer surfaces are laminated with aluminum foil or solid aluminum sheets, delivering a smooth, hygienic and corrosion-resistant surface. Standard indoor-grade aluminum foil ranges from 60 to 80 microns in thickness. For heavy-duty service or outdoor installations, thicker aluminum sheets or additional protective coatings are available as optional solutions.

 

Polyisocyanurate (PIR) Foam Core

The core substrate is rigid polyisocyanurate foam, serving as the primary thermal insulation layer. Its dense closed-cell structure grants the panels excellent water resistance and consistent acoustic insulation capabilities.

 

Eco-Friendly Foam Formulation

This PIR foam is manufactured without ozone-depleting blowing agents including CFCs and HCFCs, in full compliance with international environmental regulations.

Construction Efficiency and Cost of PIR Air Conditioning Duct Board

Pre insulated Duct Panel

Integrated prefabricated panels allow one-stage cutting and assembly, effectively shortening construction schedules:

 

Labor Efficiency Metrics

When fabricating an equal area of ductwork, traditional galvanized steel duct systems involve subsequent external insulation procedures, with a daily output of 18 m² per worker. PIR pre-insulated panels are assembled directly on-site, reaching a daily output of 30 m² per worker. Accordingly, installation time is reduced by 40%–60%, and labour costs drop by 45%.

 

Full-Lifecycle Cost Breakdown

Despite higher unit costs for the panels compared to galvanized steel sheets, expenses for secondary insulation, damp-proof membranes and abundant hangers are eliminated. The total cost of the complete duct system is equivalent or up to 8% lower.

 

Transportation Merits

Foldable packaging maximises cargo utilisation, lifting vehicle loading volume by 2.3 times and cutting domestic and marine logistics expenditure by 50%. Such logistics advantages stand out for overseas projects executed under DAP Incoterms.

PRE-INSULATED DUCT vs G.I. DUCTWORK

Metric

20mm PIR Pre - Insulated Duct
(with 0.08mm Alu. Foil, )

0.5mm G.I Duct + 30mm Rubber Plastic (40-90kg/m3)

Fire Safety

Compliant (Class 0/BS 476, AS 1530.3). Self-extinguishing PIR core, low toxic smoke, non-combustible alu foil.

G.I non-combustible;
rubber plastic fire-retardant but requires coating to meet strict codes.G.I

Thermal Insulation

Excellent.
λ=0.020 W/m·K, no thermal bridging. 20mm integrated structure ensures consistent insulation.

Fair.
λ=0.035 W/m·K, thermal bridging at G.I joints. 30mm insulation offset by metal conductivity.

Hygiene & Air Quality

Superior.
Non-porous alu foil, smooth inner surface, moisture-resistant PIR. Meets cleanroom/hospital standards.

Poor.
Porous rubber plastic traps dust/mold; G.I-insulation gaps breed pathogens.

Lightweight

1.4-1.5 kg/m².
Ultra-light, reduces structural load; ideal for retrofits/timber-framed buildings.

5.1–6.3 kg/m².
Heavy G.I base + bulk insulation; requires reinforced supports.

Energy Efficiency

Excellent.
20–30% lower HVAC energy consumption. Minimizes heat gain/loss in conditioned air.

Low.
20–30% higher energy loss due to inferior insulation and thermal bridging.

Ease of Construction

Easy.
Factory-prefabricated tongue-and-groove joints. No separate insulation step; 40–60% less labor time.

Complex.
Two-step on-site process: G.I duct fabrication + rubber plastic wrapping. Labor-intensive, prone to gaps.

Quiet Operation

Good.
PIR core absorbs 10–15 dB airflow noise; alu foil dampens vibration.

Fair.
Rubber plastic provides basic sound reduction, but G.I vibration and insulation gaps reduce efficiency.

Space Savings

Excellent.
20mm total thickness (all-in-one). Fits tight ceilings/retrofit cavities.

Poor.
30.5mm total thickness (0.5mm G.I + 30mm insulation). Bulky, requires larger installation space.

Environmental Friendliness

Balanced.
CFC/HCFC-free PIR, recyclable alu foil. 20–30-year lifespan; net carbon positive in 1–3 years.

Low.
Rubber plastic non-recyclable; 10–15-year lifespan. Frequent replacement increases waste; higher energy emissions.

Air Leakage

Superior.
≤2% air leakage (EN 1507, AS/NZS 3660.1). Airtight factory joints + alu foil vapor barrier.

Poor.
5–10% air leakage. On-site sealing gaps; separate vapor barrier required.
