Steam pipe insulation aluminum cladding typically use 1060 pure aluminum or 3003 aluminum-manganese alloy as the base material, possessing characteristics such as corrosion resistance, lightweight, easy processing, aesthetics, and environmental friendliness. Its main function is to reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency, and protect pipelines from external environmental influences.
For applied to steam line piping system, the aluminum cladding BCM supplied are strict meet the industry standard, while the specification is:
Alloys:
1060 pure aluminum cladding: Aluminum content ≥99.6%, strong corrosion resistance, low cost, suitable for general steam pipe insulation.
3003 aluminum-manganese alloy cladding: Added manganese enhances strength and provides superior corrosion resistance, suitable for high-temperature or corrosive environments.
Thickness:
0.2mm-1.5mm, selected according to pipeline temperature and insulation requirements.
Surface Treatment:
Flat/Smooth/Plain: This is the most basic surface treatment for aluminum cladding, with a smooth and even surface, suitable for most conventional insulation needs.
Embossing: Various patterns, such as orange peel texture, are formed on the surface of the aluminum coil through embossing processes. This not only increases aesthetics but also improves friction to a certain extent, preventing slippage.
Corrugated: Pressing aluminum coils into a corrugated shape enhances their strength and rigidity, while also improving insulation performance.
Laminating materials:
Polysurlyn film: Surlyn is a high-performance laminating material with excellent weather resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties. Laminating it onto the surface of aluminum cladding for pipe insulation significantly improves their corrosion resistance and service life.
PolyKraft Paper: Kraft paper, a traditional laminating material, is characterized by high strength, good toughness, and wear resistance. Laminating it onto the surface of aluminum cladding protects them from mechanical damage and environmental corrosion.
Performance advantages of aluminium steam pipe insulation cladding:
Excellent insulation performance:
Aluminum cladding are typically filled with insulation materials (such as polyurethane, rock wool, or glass wool), effectively reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency.
Waterproof and moisture-proof:
Aluminum cladding has excellent waterproof properties, preventing water vapor from penetrating the insulation layer and extending its service life.
Corrosion resistance:
Aluminum has good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in various environmental conditions.
Lightweight and easy to install:
Aluminum cladding are relatively lightweight, with a density of only 2.71 g/cm³, and are easy to cut and install, adaptable to pipes of various sizes.
Aesthetically pleasing:
Aluminum cladding has a smooth surface and a neat, attractive appearance, suitable for applications where visual appeal is important.
Applications of aluminum steam pipe insulation cladding:
Industrial steam pipes: Used for insulation of steam pipes in various industrial fields.
Hot water pipes: Suitable for insulation of hot water delivery pipes.
Air conditioning systems: Also used in central air conditioning systems.
