Isogenopak

What Is Isogenopak?

Isogenopak is a type of insulation cladding material that comes in various forms, including rigid film, bends, sheets, and rolls. It is designed to provide an additional layer of thermal and acoustic insulation for buildings and other structures, as well as protect the existing insulation it covers. Isogenopak is lightweight, self-extinguishing, and impervious to water. Isogenopak is easy to install and maintain and is available in a range of sizes and shapes, including pre-fabricated bends, S bends, W bends, and T sections. It is also resistant to a range of corrosive elements such as acids, alkalis, salts, oil, and petrol. Overall, Isogenopak is a popular choice for insulation in the construction and building industry in the UK.

Advantages of Isogenopak Pipe Insulation Cladding

Isogenopak cladding and pipe lagging have several advantages:

High Thermal Resistance

Isogenopak insulation is known for its high thermal resistance, which is a key advantage when it comes to pipe insulation. By using Isogenopak cladding or pipe lagging, building and construction professionals can significantly reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency, resulting in lower heating costs and a reduced carbon footprint.

Compared to aluminium or Aluzinc cladding, Isogenopak offers several advantages. First, Isogenopak is a lightweight material that is easy to install and requires no special tools or equipment. It can be cut and shaped to fit around pipes and ducts of various sizes and shapes, making it a versatile solution for many different applications. Isogenopak is also resistant to a wide range of corrosive elements, including acids, alkalis, salts, oil, and petrol, making it a durable and long-lasting choice.

Compared to other forms of pipe insulation, Isogenopak offers several unique advantages. For example, Isogenopak is a rigid film that provides excellent thermal insulation and acoustic insulation properties, while also being impervious to water. It has a smooth surface with good anti-static properties and requires no care or maintenance.

Isogenopak is an effective insulation material that helps to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency, making it a great choice for both new construction and retrofit projects.

Lightweight

The lightweight nature of Isogenopak insulation is beneficial in several ways. Firstly, it makes it easier and more cost-effective to transport and handle during installation. This is particularly useful for large-scale projects where a significant amount of insulation is required.

In addition, the lightweight nature of Isogenopak insulation means that it adds minimal weight to the building or structure it is being used to insulate. This can be particularly important in situations where weight is a concern, such as in the construction of aircraft or vehicles.

Another advantage of the lightweight nature of Isogenopak insulation is that it makes it easier to install in hard-to-reach or confined spaces. This is particularly useful for pipe insulation, where the insulation material needs to be fitted tightly around the pipes to prevent heat loss.

Self-extinguishing

The self-extinguishing nature of Isogenopak insulation is an important safety feature, particularly in buildings and structures where fire safety is a concern. Isogenopak insulation is made from a rigid film that is unplasticised and does not contain any flammable components, making it less likely to ignite and spread flames in the event of a fire.

In the case of a fire, Isogenopak insulation will not emit harmful or toxic fumes, which is important for the safety of building occupants and firefighters. This is a key advantage over other insulation materials that may emit fumes or contribute to the spread of fire.

Corrosion-resistant

Isogenopak insulation roll, pipe insulation covering, and pre-fabricated bends are resistant to a range of corrosive elements, including acids, alkalis, salts, oil, and petrol. This makes it a durable and long-lasting solution for pipe insulation and cladding, especially in industrial and chemical environments where pipes and ducts are exposed to harsh conditions.

Compared to aluminium or aluzinc cladding, Isogenopak is a more corrosion-resistant option that can withstand exposure to a wider range of corrosive substances. It also offers better thermal insulation properties and is lighter in weight, making it easier to install and transport.

Durable

Isogenopak is known for its durability and requires little to no maintenance. As a rigid film, it is highly resistant to wear and tear, and its smooth surface makes it resistant to scratches and scuffs. Compared to other forms of insulation cladding, Isogenopak is highly resistant to a range of corrosive elements, such as acids, alkalis, salts, oil, and petrol. It is also highly resistant to water and can withstand a range of weather conditions, making it an ideal solution for outdoor installations.

The high durability of Isogenopak also means that it can withstand a range of mechanical stresses, such as vibrations and impacts, without cracking or breaking. This can be an advantage in situations where the insulation is exposed to frequent movement or handling.

In comparison to other forms of cladding, Isogenopak is a highly durable and long-lasting option. For example, compared to traditional fibreglass insulation, which can degrade over time, Isogenopak maintains its thermal performance for many years, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement. Additionally, unlike metal cladding, Isogenopak is not prone to rust or corrosion, which can degrade the performance of the insulation over time.

Easy to install

Isogenopak insulation comes in different forms, including rolls, sheets, and pre-fabricated bends. The rolls are designed with a built-in curl, making them easy to install quickly and dryly. The smooth surface and inherent curl of the material help minimize installation time.

Isogenopak insulation does not require any special tools or accessories to install. The material is lightweight and can be cut using a sharp blade or scissors. Adhesives, solvents, rivets, matching tapes, and end-capping can be used to complete the installation. The material is self-extinguishing, which makes it safer to handle during installation.

Compared to other forms of cladding and lagging, Isogenopak insulation is quick and easy to install, reducing downtime and minimizing labour costs. Additionally, the material's inherent curl helps it conform to the shape of the pipe or duct, reducing the need for additional fittings or components. These advantages make it a popular choice for insulating pipes and ducts in industrial settings.

How is Isogenopak Typically Used?

Isogenopak insulation is typically used in the walls, ceilings, and floors of buildings to help reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency. It can be installed in new construction projects or used to retrofit existing buildings.

How is Isogenopak installed?

To install Isogenopak insulation, you will need a few tools, rivets and protective equipment, such as gloves and a dust mask, to prevent injury and protect against dust and other particles that may be present during installation.

In What Forms can I get Isogenopak?

Isogenopak insulation is available in both rolls and prefabricated bends. Rolls of Isogenopak insulation are long strips of material that are typically used to insulate large areas, such as walls or ceilings. Prefabricated bends, on the other hand, are pre-cut pieces of insulation that are specifically designed to fit around corners, pipes, and other obstacles. They are often easier to install than rolls, as they can be easily cut and fit into place without the need for additional cutting or shaping.

Customization

Looking for a specific type of prefabricated bend that you don't see listed in our shop? No problem! We create custom prefabricated bends to meet the unique needs of our customers. Simply provide us with the dimensions and requirements of the bend you need, along with any other necessary details such as the type of insulation material to be used and the expected volume of the order. We'll use this information to design and create a custom bend that meets your exact specifications.

Please note that custom prefabricated bends may require an additional lead time and may come at a higher cost than our standard bends, as they require additional work and resources to create. However, for those who need a unique bend that is not readily available on the market, this service can be a valuable solution
