PU Pre-insulated Aluminum Duct Panel

 

PU Aluminum Duct Sheet (also known as PU aluminum foil duct panel or PU sandwich duct panel) is a high-performance composite material used primarily in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) air duct systems.

It consists of three bonded layers:Two Outer Layers: High-strength aluminum foil (typically embossed or plain).Core Layer: Rigid polyurethane (PU) foam, which acts as both a structural support and thermal insulator.

 

Structure: Silver Aluminum/ PU Foam/ Silver Aluminum
Size: 4000*1200*20mm
Foam Density: 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)

Economic and Construction Efficiency of PU Pre-insulated Aluminum Duct Panel

PUR Aluminum Sheet

Although the raw material cost per square meter of PU pre-insulation panels is higher than that of traditional galvanized iron sheets, from the perspective of overall installation cost and operating cost, it has extremely high cost-effectiveness: 


Traditional ductwork process: Cutting and shearing of iron sheets -> Making the bite edges -> On-site hoisting -> Secondary wrapping with insulation cotton -> Coiling protective tape (a cumbersome process) 


PU pre-insulated air duct: Plate cutting -> Apply adhesive and lay out lines -> 45° joint bonding -> Tape sealing -> Direct hanging (one-step process) 


Project duration reduced by over 50%: Traditional ducts require two processes - "installing the ducts first, then covering with insulation cotton"; while PU sheets "come with built-in insulation", they can be formed by using dedicated cutting tools, glue bonding, and aluminum foil tape sealing, resulting in a 2 to 3 times increase in construction speed.

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.
