PRESENTING INDIAS FIRST ECO-FRIENDLY INSULATION SYSTEM

Company Profile

Asawa Insulation Private Limited isamong the first Companies in India to

manufacture Pre Insulated Panels (PIR)

under the Brand name of SMART Panels

having a state-of-the-art manufacturing

facility in Mumbai. The manufacturing

capacity is 1,500,000 sq m per year.

SMART (PIR) Panels

SMART Panels is manufactured of CFC

& HCFC free closed cell Poly-

isocyanurate (PIR) foam sandwiched

between Aluminium sheets, one on

each side. The panel sheet which is

usually 20 or 30 mm in thickness with a

foam density of 45kg/m is later cut,

shaped, fabricated and glued into

different profiles.

Applications

Pre Insulated Ducting System for HVAC

SMART Pre- Insulated Ducting System is

worldwide used in commercial,

residential, hospitals and industrial

applications.

The final ducting is versatile and can be

installed internally or externally, can be

concealed above a false ceiling or visibly

mounted.

Applications (contd..)

Wall Insulation

SMART Panels easily sticks to any surface and

there are no chances of creating any thermal or

cold bridges. The Wall Insulation can be applied in

following ways -

Aluminium Foil / Aluminium Foil

Aluminium Foil / Paper

Floor Insulation / Roof Insulation

SMART Panels are applied seamlessly on the underside of the ground floor. PIR

foam seamlessly seals the floor in contrast to the system that seals off the

ground. Similarly it can be used for Roof Insulation.

Applications (contd..)

Under Deck Insulation

SMART Panels are applied on the inners side of the

roof to prevent heat transfer. The Under Deck

Insulation can be applied in following ways



Paper / Paper

Applications

False Ceiling

SMART Panels are used as false ceiling in

commercial buildings to reduce heat and noise as

it has insulation and acoustic property. The False

Ceiling can be applied in following ways



Paper / Paper

Water absorption

Very low water adsorption rate(only 0.03% after immersion inwater for 24 hrs) andminimized due to less chanceof workmanship error

Fire propertiesNo safety hazards and looseparticles

Fiberglass causes skinirritation and the minisculefiber that mix with air duringinsulation which are notgood for the respiratorysystem

Advantage PIR over PU

Thermoset vs. Thermoplastic

The foam plastic insulation materials are of two types- Thermoset and

Thermoplastic. PIR products are Thermoset i.e. once manufactured, the material will

not become supple or melt away even at increased temperatures at above 2000-

3000 Fahrenheit and the insulation material will continue to remain strong without

losing its rigidity while Extruded Polystyrene (PU) is a Thermoplastic material which

starts softening at temperatures above 1650 Fahrenheit and melts above 2000

Fahrenheit.

Ultraviolet Light--What's the effect?

Ultraviolet light degrades Extruded Polystyrene(PU).

Advantage PIR over PU (contd..)

Is your insulation affected by construction materials?

Extruded Polystyrene (PU) can be attacked by many petroleum based solvents in

adhesives, paints, stains, water repellent and preservative coatings, and in

bituminous waterproofing which causes Extruded Polystyrene to dissolve. However,

PIR is not affected by these materials there by remaining sturdy for lifetime.

Thermal Performance--On a per inch basis, PIR always exceeds polystyrene!

In every recommended application, PIR insulation delivers more R-value per inch of

thickness than Extruded Polystyrene (PU) products.

How can you determine if insulation is prone to water vapor problems?

In Extruded Polystyrene (PU) water vapor is more likely to penetrate in the cells

which mean that the water will condense inside the cells thereby reducing the

insulation value.
