PU Foam Pre-insulated Duct board

 

PU Foam Pre-insulated Duct board, also referred to as PU aluminum foil duct board or PU sandwich air duct panel, is a high-performance composite material specially engineered for HVAC heating, ventilation and air conditioning ductwork systems.

 

The panel features a three-layer bonded composite structure:

 

Two outer faces: Heavy-duty aluminum foil, available in smooth or embossed finishes.

Central core: Rigid polyurethane (PU) foam, serving simultaneously as structural reinforcement and thermal insulation

 

Structure: Silver Aluminum/ PU Foam/ Silver Aluminum
Size: 3950*1200*20mm
Foam Density: 45-50kg/m3
Aluminum Thickness: 0.06mm or 0.08mm
Aluminum Color: Silver
Packing: 10 sheets/ package
Loading Capacity: 710 sheets/ 40'HQ (packed with plastic bags)
                                660 sheets/ 40'HQ (packed with cardboard box)

Core Technical & Physical Properties of PU Foam Pre-insulated Duct board

 

PU Alu ductwork
Technical Parameters Typical Value / Standard Engineering Significance
Density (Core Foam) 45-55kg/m3 Balances lightweight design with excellent compressive structural strength.
Thermal Conductivity ≤0.022w/m.k Extremely low. Outperforms traditional glass wool (~0.040), improving thermal insulation by nearly 40%.
Fire Rating Class B1 (GB 8624) Meets fire safety and flame retardant requirements for most commercial and residential buildings.
Closed Cell Ratio ≥95% Effectively blocks water vapor penetration, preventing internal mold and performance degradation.
Working Temperature -60℃--+80℃ Adapts to various harsh environments, from extreme cold to high-temperature air transmission.

PRE-INSULATED DUCT vs G.I. DUCTWORK

Metric

20mm PU 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 PU 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 PU. 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.
PU 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 PU, 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.
