Rockwool Pipe Insulation SA EPS Insulation & Packaging
Overview
Rockwool (mineral wool) pipe insulation from SA EPS Insulation & Packaging is a reliable thermal and acoustic solution designed for piping systems across industrial, commercial, and refrigeration applications. Manufactured from spun rock (basalt and slag), our Rockwool pipe sections provide excellent thermal resistance, fire safety, and long-term dimensional stability — making them a popular choice where performance and safety matter.
We supply Rockwool pipe insulation across Bangladesh, tailored to local project requirements and climates. If you need custom lengths, diameters, or protective claddings, we can provide specification support and onsite advice.
Key features
-
Excellent thermal performance — reduces heat loss in hot lines and heat gain in chilled lines, helping lower energy costs.
-
Non-combustible — inorganic fibre that does not burn; improves fire safety of piping systems.
-
Good acoustic damping — reduces noise from fluid flow and mechanical systems.
-
Moisture resistant (with right cladding) — when paired with vapour barriers or suitable jacketing, resists condensation and ingress.
-
Dimensionally stable & durable — retains shape under temperature cycles and mechanical stress.
-
Easy to install — manufactured in pre-formed pipe sections and flexible mats for fast application.
Typical applications
-
Cold storage and refrigeration piping
-
Chilled water and HVAC systems
-
Hot water, steam and condensate lines (with appropriate thickness and jacketing)
-
Industrial process piping (chemical, food, pharmaceuticals)
-
Power plants and boiler systems
-
Marine and offshore piping where mineral wool is specified

-
Maximum continuous service temperature: typically up to 650°C for some rockwool types; select grade based on application
-
Fire classification: non-combustible / A1 (inorganic) — check specific certificates for project use
-

Protective finishes & accessories
To maximize performance, Rockwool pipe insulation is commonly supplied with optional protective layers:
-
Aluminium or stainless-steel jacketing — for weather protection and mechanical durability.
-
PVC or polyethylene jacketing — economical, provides weather and splash protection.
-
Vapour barrier films and adhesives — essential for chilled systems to prevent moisture ingress and condensation.
-
Sealants, banding, and end-caps — ensure joints and terminations are watertight and airtight.
We can recommend the correct finishing for outdoor, buried, or indoor exposed installations.

Installation & handling (practical notes)
-
Use pre-formed half-shells for quick assembly on straight runs; use flexible mats or custom cuts for bends and fittings.
-
Ensure all joints are tightly butted and sealed with appropriate adhesives or vapour barrier tape for chilled lines.
-
Protect the insulation with suitable jacketing in exposed or outdoor locations.
-
Store materials off the ground and dry prior to installation.
-
Follow project drawings and local codes; SA EPS can provide installation guidance or work with your contractor.
Quality, standards & certification
SA EPS sources Rockwool insulation that meets industry performance expectations. For tender or compliance purposes we can provide:
-
Product datasheets and thermal charts
-
Fire performance statements and certificates (upon request)
-
Cut-to-size samples for evaluation
If your project requires specific standards or third-party testing, tell us the requirement, and we’ll match the right grade.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q — Is Rockwool suitable for chilled water pipes?
A — Yes. For chilled systems, combine Rockwool with a continuous vapour barrier and weatherproof jacketing to prevent condensation and moisture ingress.
Q — Can Rockwool be used on steam lines?
A — Yes — choose a high-temperature grade and appropriate thickness. For very high-temperature service, confirm the maximum service temperature with our technical team.
Q — How do I pick the right thickness?
A — Thickness depends on pipe temperature, ambient conditions, and desired energy loss or condensation control. We can calculate recommended thickness based on your operating temperatures and project location.
Q — Do you supply fittings (elbows, valves) pre-insulated?
A — We provide custom-cut sections and guidance for insulating fittings. For complex jobs we can coordinate prefabricated insulation covers or site support.
