Rigid Polyurethane Foam (PUF) provides excellent thermal insulation combined with high structural rigidity. Its low thermal conductivity makes it suitable where efficient insulation is required with relatively thin insulation sections.
PUF is particularly suitable for refrigeration and cooling equipment, including deep chest freezers, bottle coolers, water coolers and thermoware. It is also used for water heaters, helping reduce heat loss and improve thermal efficiency.
Key Benefits
- Excellent thermal insulation
- Lightweight and rigid construction
- Suitable for refrigeration applications
- Helps reduce heat loss
- Suitable for cold and hot insulation requirements
PUF Product Forms
- PUF Pipe Sections
- PUF Slabs
- Preformed insulation sections
EPS – Expanded Polystyrene Foam
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), commonly known as Thermocol, is a lightweight, rigid, closed-cell insulation foam. Its closed-cell structure provides low water-vapour permeability and effective thermal insulation.
EPS is widely used in food containers, packaging, building insulation, chilled-water piping and refrigeration applications
Key Benefits
- Lightweight insulation
- Closed-cell structure
- Good thermal insulation
- Low water-vapour permeability
- Easy to fabricate into required shapes
- Suitable for building and refrigeration applications
EPS Density Range
- 16, 20, 24 and 32 kg/m³
Preformed Pipe Sections & Slabs
KOOTS INSULATIONS offers preformed insulation pipe sections and slabs for applications requiring accurately shaped thermal insulation.
Preformed sections are designed to fit around pipes and provide a consistent insulation layer, while slabs can be used for flat surfaces and equipment insulation.
