With over 35 years experience in these sectors, Kingspan Tarec provides its customers with manufacturing excellence, technical expertise and state of the art Tarec Industrial Insulation 3 Kooltherm FM pipe Insulation comprisessections of Kooltherm FM Insulation faced with a factory-applied foil vapour barrier jacketautohesively bonded to the Insulation coreduring FM pipe Insulation is CE Marked in accordance with BS EN FM pipe Insulation is available in a range of thicknesses to suitdifferent performance specifications and may be used on mild steel, stainlesssteel, carbon steel, copper and plastic pipework in standard and non-standardpipe FM pipe Insulation is manufactured using state of the artcontinuous and slotted board technologies.

2 Both methods feature the use ofa unique bore coated liner and minimise production FM pipe Insulation manufactured on the continuous process issupplied in 1 metre lengths and pipe Insulation manufactured from slottedboard is supplied in metre lengths. Kooltherm FM pipe Insulation is available in a standard density of 37 density pipe Insulation sections and insulated pipe supports fabricated from 60 kg/m3, 80 kg/m3and 120 Kg/m3densities are also Insulated pipe Support SystemKooltherm Insulated pipe Support Inserts provide optimal load bearing capacity whilst offering protectionagainst Insulation compression. Designed for use in pipe supports, hanger brackets and clamps, they willsupport the compressive loads imposed by horizontal pipework carrying water or other FM pipe Insulation4 Kooltherm FMHVAC & Building Services pipe InsulationVapour Barrier JacketAll Kooltherm FM pipe Insulation products and systems are faced, as standard, with an extremely durable and protective low vapour permeability aluminium foil or theatre black vapour barrier jacketreinforced with a glass scrim.

3 The vapour barrier jacket is factory-applied to avoid onsite application, which carries the risk of vapourbarrier damage and with it, a risk to the integrity of the system. This also reduces the labour cost forinstallation of the Kooltherm FM pipe Insulation matching self adhesive tape is available to complete the vapour barrier at joints and breaks. 5 Features & Benefits6 Thermal PerformanceWith a thermal conductivity as low as W/m K(at 10 C mean), Kooltherm FM Insulation is themost thermally efficient Insulation materialcommonly used. A low thermal conductivity allowsspecified thermal performance standards to beachieved with thinner superior thermal performance of Kooltherm FM Insulation derives mainly from its closed cellproperties. Its closed cell structure has beenoptimised to resist heat transfer.

4 The closed cellshave a small solid to void volume ratio, are smalland uniform in size, and their construction very finewith extremely thin walls and minimum point contacts (struts). They are filled with a thermallyefficient CFC/HCFC-free blowing agent that haszero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and lowGlobal Warming Potential (GWP).As a result of its closed cell structure, Kooltherm FM Insulation is unaffected by air infiltration problems that can be experienced with mineralfibre and which can reduce thermal ResistanceKooltherm FM Insulation has a 90% (or greater) closed cell structure, whichmakes it non-wicking and highly resistant to moisture penetration. The risk of moisture absorption into the Insulation is effectively eliminated as thefactory-applied facing to Kooltherm FM pipe Insulation products and systemsprovides a high performance vapour barrier jacket.
