 | | ISOVER LAUNCHES THE ULTIMATE IN VENTILATION DUCTWORK FIRE PROTECTION | | | Saint-Gobain Isover UK | | 01/08/2008 | | | In response to the increased demand for new-generation fire resistant ventilation ductwork, Saint-Gobain Isover has launched the Ultimate product range U Protect – an innovation in mineral wool insulation that combines top-level fire resistance, low weight and easy handling.
Ultimate U Protect combines all the advantages of conventional fire, thermal and acoustic insulation along with improved properties that mean it scores best in the Euroclass fire resistance system (classification A1) and complies with EN1366-1.
In addition, it absorbs sound up to 50% better than competitive products and is up to 65% lighter than conventional stone wool products, making light work of installation.
U Protect products meet the highest standards for fire protection, ranging from top-rated performance in reaction to fire to excellent fire resistance. Reliability is crucial in areas where conditioned air is supplied via technically sophisticated ventilation systems and air ducts.
“Ultimate is the result of many years of development meeting demands for safety and comfort and is based on a streamlined portfolio of standard products,” said Michael Hunter, technical manager at Saint-Gobain Isover.
A top performer when it comes to material stability and thermal resistance at high temperatures, Ultimate’s low pack weight also meets the most stringent standards for health and safety in the workplace.
Excellent handleability ensures that cutting, bending and fitting is faster and more efficient. In addition, the U Protect wired mat range is specifically designed for easy installation on circular ductwork.
And thanks to compressed packaging, the logistics – including intermediate storage on site – can be managed without any problems, even on the largest projects. | |
