2. IntroductiontoSMART(PIR)Panels

SMART Panels are manufactured of CFC & HCFC free closed cell Polyisocyanurate foam

sandwiched between Aluminium foil or Kraft Paper with standard size of 4 m x 1.2 m

and thickness varying from 10 mm to 75 mm.

SMART Panels are used in the construction of HVAC Ducting System, Underdeck &

Overdeck Insulation, Wall Insulation, Roof Insulation, Cold Storages, Glass Facade, Floor

Insulation and False Ceiling etc.

SMART Panels are economical with energy saving upto 20%, having lowest Thermal

Conductivity (0.021 W/m.K), Environment Friendly (Green Building Product), Fire

retardant (BS 476, Class 0 Product certified by Exova Warringtonfire US & UK and CBRI

Roorkee India), Anti Rodent, Negligible Water Absorption, No Water Vapour

Transmission, Acoustic, Fast track Fabrication & Installation.

SMARTPanelsaretechnicallyandcommercially,thebestreplacementsof:-

GI Duct with Nitrile /XPE/ Glasswool Insulation for HVAC Ducting System.

Thermocol / Glasswool / Nitrile / Phenotharum for Underdeck & Overdeck Insulation.

Calcium Silicate tiles for False Ceiling.

Nitrile / XPE for floor insulation.

With AIPLs SMART preinsulated panels, an extremely high quality insulation can be

achieved as a direct result of the combination of the Aluminium foil and unique

insulation material (PIR). This combination provides an excellent internal air quality, a

fine external finish and long life material with the added advantage of being light weight.

The panels can also be easily transported, fabricated and erected.

3. SMARTPanelsApplications

SMART Panels are used worldwide in commercial, residential, hospitals and industrial

applications for HVAC Ducting System, Underdeck & Overdeck Insulation, Wall

Insulation, Roof Insulation, Cold Storage, Glass Facade, False Ceiling etc. In industries

where high level of quality and hygiene is vital for their business processes such as food

processing, pharmaceuticals, laboratories, electronics, and medical centres, SMART

Panels provide an excellent insulation solution to ensure the same.

Thickness and surface of SMART Panels will differ as per the requirement, application

and project specifications.

3.1 HVAC Ducting System

The panels, covered with Aluminium

foil on both sides can be used for

indoor & outdoor application. 20 mm

thick panels are used for indoor

application and 30 mm thick used for

outdoor application with a foam

density of 48 kg/m. The panels are

later cut, shaped, fabricated and glued

into different profiles to form the final

duct. The duct is later connected to

other ducts via Aluminium profile /

PVC flanges to complete the system.

The final ducting is versatile and can be installed internally or externally. It can also be

concealed above a False Ceiling or visibly mounted closer to the ceiling.

3.2 WallInsulation

SMART Panels easily stick to any surface and prevents any

possibility of thermal or cold bridge formations. We offer

two variants for this application:

PIR Foam sandwiched between Aluminium foil on

both sides.

PIR Foam sandwiched between Aluminium foil and

Kraft Paper.

3.3 Underdeck/OverdeckInsulation

SMART Panels are applied to the surface of the roof

to prevent heat transfer. The thickness of panels

varies 10 mm to 50 mm.

We offer three variants for this application:

PIR Foam sandwiched between Aluminium foil on

both sides.

PIR Foam sandwiched between Aluminium foil and

Kraft Paper.

PIR Foam sandwiched between Kraft Paper on

both sides.

3.4 FalseCeiling

SMART Panels are used as False Ceiling to prevent

heat and noise transfer as it has better Insulation and

acoustic property as compared to Calcium Silicate

tiles.

It is also four times lighter in weight as compared to

Calcium Silicate tiles thus it requires less structural

support.

3.4 FloorInsulation/RoofInsulation

SMART Panels are applied seamlessly on the underside of the floor to prevent heat

transfer. PIR foam seamlessly seals the floor in contrast to the other systems. Similarly it

can be used for Roof Insulation.
