ROCKWOOL ProRox PS (Pipe)

I. Description of ROCKWOOL ProRox PS SA

ROCKWOOL ProRox PS SA is a pre-formed pipe section made of stone wool, manufactured with advanced water-repellent WR-Tech™ binder to minimize the risk of corrosion under insulation (CUI). Upon request, the product can be supplied with a reinforced aluminium foil facing to enhance mechanical strength and surface protection.

These high-strength insulation sections are designed as hinged, split segments, allowing for quick installation by simply clipping them directly onto the pipe. The product is particularly suitable for thermal and acoustic insulation applications in industrial piping systems operating at high temperatures and subjected to heavy mechanical loads.

The pre-formed pipe section ProRox PS SA fully complies with the requirements of internationally recognized standards, including:

ASTM C547: Type A for Type I, II, IV
ASTM C795

II. Features of ROCKWOOL ProRox PS SA

1. Tubular Structure:
   ROCKWOOL ProRox PS SA is manufactured in a hollow cylindrical shape with a longitudinal slit along its body, allowing for easy installation around pipelines. This slit is typically formed in a “V” or “U” groove design to ensure a snug and secure fit onto the pipes.

2. High Thermal Insulation Efficiency:
   Made from basalt mineral fibers, ROCKWOOL ProRox PS SA effectively retains heat and minimizes thermal loss from pipelines, maintaining stable internal temperatures.

3. Excellent Fire Resistance:
   ROCKWOOL ProRox PS SA is non-combustible and can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C, providing superior fire protection — especially in high-temperature environments.

4. Corrosion and Moisture Resistance:
   The material is water-repellent and prevents corrosion of metal pipes caused by moisture, helping extend the lifespan of piping systems under harsh conditions.

5. Sound Insulation:
   Beyond thermal insulation, ROCKWOOL ProRox PS SA also reduces noise generated by piping systems — such as airflow sounds or pipe vibrations — creating a quieter operating environment.

6. Easy Installation:
   The flexible structure of ROCKWOOL ProRox PS SA allows for quick cutting, fitting, and adjustment to various pipe sizes, saving both time and labor during installation.

III. Applications of ROCKWOOL ProRox PS SA
