Material Structure and Physical Properties of Pre Insulated PIR Ducting

PIR DUCTING FOAM PANELS

The pre-fabricated PIR insulation duct is a sandwich-type integrated composite structure. The core material is high-density closed-cell polyisocyanurate foam (with a density of 50–55 kg/m³), and it is double-sided bonded with 60–80 μm anti-corrosion embossed aluminum foil. The factory performs a one-time composite process, eliminating the need for on-site secondary insulation construction.


Core measured data: The thermal conductivity is stable at 0.018–0.022 W/(m・K), far superior to that of XPS ducts (0.030–0.035 W/(m・K)) and glass wool (0.035 W/(m・K)); the closed-cell ratio is over 95%, the water absorption rate is ≤1%, and there are no problems of water absorption expansion or insulation attenuation over the long term. Under the same insulation effect, a 20mm thick PIR duct is equivalent to a 45mm mineral wool insulation layer, with thinner panel thickness and reduced 30% of the ceiling space occupation.

Energy Saving and Operating Costs of Pre Insulated PIR Ducting

Traditional galvanized iron sheet ducts require on-site application of insulation cotton, and numerous seams and flanges form heat bridges, resulting in a comprehensive heat loss of 12%–18% for the duct system. The PIR integrated sheet has no heat bridges, and the system's heat loss is controlled within 5%, reducing the annual air conditioning energy consumption by 20%–30%.


Based on a calculation for a 10,000-square-meter commercial complex: The annual air conditioning electricity cost for traditional iron sheet ducts is approximately 280,000 yuan. After replacing with PIR prefabricated ducts, the annual electricity savings are 62,000 yuan, and the material price difference can be recovered within 5 years. At the same time, the ducts have excellent air tightness, with an overall leakage rate of ≤2%, far lower than the 8%–12% leakage standard of iron sheet ducts. The fan's conveying efficiency is improved by 15%, and the fan operating power decreases simultaneously. This is suitable for the current building's low-carbon and energy-saving acceptance standards.

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.
