The German company knauf insulation introduces for the first time in the Spanish market products of isolation for installations thermal-industrial, relying on its long experience in other countries such as USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands or Italy. Thanks to the expertise focused on improving the efficiency of facilities by reducing energy expenditure, Knauf Insulation offers a wide variety of solutions to the most important petrochemical plants, generation or transformation of energy and for small installations that need to manipulate gases or liquids at high or low temperatures.

Knauf Insulation offers a wide variety of solutions for petrochemical plants, generation or transformation of energy.

In addition to reducing energy expenditure, attempting to save with the same level of production and the consequent reduction of emissions of CO₂, the benefits of a good insulation are also reflected in better control of the temperatures of the production processeslowering the levels of noise present in work environments.

It must be said that some of Knauf Insulation insulation products for the industry are also specific certificates for the shipbuilding industry, so it can be applied in facilities in this sector, offering the best performance. In addition, the multinational company offers solutions with a wide range of products, the following being the most important products:

Blankets armed WM 620 and 660 WM. They are insulating armed blankets of mineral wool, covered by a galvanized steel mesh stitched with thread of galvanized steel. Armed insulating mineral wool blankets are indicated for the insulation thermal, acoustic and fire resistant in all industries like boilers, heat exchangers, ducts and storage in petrochemical, power plants and waste incineration plants. They are also used for fire prevention in the construction of walls and ceilings and lining of ventilation ducts. These products have certified Marine, specifically to be installed in the naval sector applications.

High temperature HTB 620, HTB 660 and 690 HTB panels. They are panels of mineral wool aglomerada with resins, incombustible, imputrescible, dimensionally stable and unchanged in time, resistant to high temperatures, for industrial use. Suitable for thermal and acoustic insulation in the industry, such as machines, tanks, boilers and tanks, suction, buildings with high thermal load, drying facilities, construction of furnaces and other industrial processes. They are applicable to high temperatures. The HTB 660 panel has the Marine certification, for installation in applications of the shipbuilding sector.

Manta felt aluminium FM D70 CB AluR. A blanket of enhanced mineral wool with a membrane of aluminum in one of the faces, incombustible, resistant to high temperatures, water, resistant to ageing and decay, produced without addition of silicone oil repellent. This product is suitable for térmico-acústico insulation and fire protection of applications not subjected to load, as channels ventilation, piping industry, pipes, boilers, heat exchangers of heat storage in petrochemical tanks, central power, waste incineration and in shipbuilding.

Deletes LW. Is mineral wool in bulk for insulated by filling, applicable in the industry such as cracks and hardly accessible boards, insulation of turbines, tanks, furnaces, heaters, pipes of high temperature or steam ejectors. Easy handling, thanks to his conditioning adapted to the specific application, making it ideal for use in confined spaces. It is resistant to very high temperatures.

The German brand offers tailor-made solutions with a wide range of products designed for the térmicas-industriales facilities.

Success stories

All these mineral wool solutions have demonstrated a high-performance. An example of this has been the installation in important industrial benchmarks in Europe works such as:
