Core Technical & Physical Properties of PUR Pre-insulated HVAC Ductwork

 

PU Alu ductwork
Technical Parameters Typical Value / Standard Engineering Significance
Density (Core Foam) 40-45kg/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.

Production and Installation of  PUR Pre-insulated HVAC Ductwork

 

 

Factory-fabricated panels achieve uniform density and high dimensional accuracy, satisfying the specifications for standardized mass production and unified construction norms.

 

Field spray foaming technology is developed for non-standard duct systems and complex architectural structures. The sprayed PUR foam achieves full surface lamination without insulation voids. This core performance advantage is unmatched by other insulation materials.

 

From an installation perspective, PUR Pre-insulated HVAC Ductwork offers favorable processability. Its flexible properties facilitate simple cutting and fabrication, removing the reliance on large specialized equipment. The entire installation procedure can be carried out by a single operator.

 

Moreover, the panel possesses strong interfacial adhesion. It creates stable connections with color steel plates, steel sheets, cement mortar and other substrates, and maintains excellent anti-peeling and anti-separation performance during operation.

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.
