Thanks to the continuos research of our technical team, Link Alu Tape has obtained the marine equipment brand "Steering wheel" according to the Directive MED 2014/90 / UE.
LINK ALU TAPE is a tape with smooth baked aluminum film in thickness 26 μm with high self-adhesive power. It is generally used for joints and other forms of protection in industrial, hvac and marine insulation. The tape has been rigorously tested by a third-party certifying body and has successfully passed the verifications thus obtaining the certification of "Low flame spread” for marine application.
By certifying its products (tapes for joints, glue, sealants) Link aims to:
- improve maritime safety;
- improve the protection of the maritime environment;
- facilitate the free exchange of marine equipment within the European Union and at the same time maintain a common level of security.

Link presents PAROC Calculus on the market: an innovative and sophisticated software proposed by Paroc for the calculation of technical insulation. Calculus is an easy-to-use program suitable even for those who are not familiar with this type of software, that offers the possibility of creating your own database and saving the calculations of the entire project through two versions: on-line on the portal and a downloadable version one on the own pc with more features.

Link presents PAROC Calculus on the market: an innovative and sophisticated software proposed by Paroc for the calculation of technical insulation. Calculus is an easy-to-use program suitable even for those who are not familiar with this type of software, that offers the possibility of creating your own database and saving the calculations of the entire project through two versions: on-line on the portal and a downloadable version one on the own pc with more features.
The software calculates the solutions realized obtained with PAROC technical insulation products based on equations described in standard EN ISO 12241, which provides the methods for counting the properties related to the heat transport of building and industrial installations, mainly in steady state, providing a simplified approach to the treatment of thermal bridges. Furthermore, the latest developments of the program open the door to the world of shipbuilding: the database of available products has been updated by introducing the PAROC Marine & Offshore range, including all the relevant specialized coatings dedicated to them. This update allows to perform the calculations related to all the isolated insulated elements present on ships and offshore installations - such as drains, pipes, ducts, tanks - by correctly using the MED-certified PAROC products.
To perform calculations with Marine & Offshore products, just access the software link, place a check mark in the "Marine object" selection box under the "Select object" item. The offer of the product database goes on to naval ones.
tick the "Marine object" box under the "Select objet" heading. The product offering will be switched to marine products.
The introduction of Marine & Offshore products with specific coatings allows the correct thermal emissivity to be used in calculating the surface temperature of the insulation. This represents a considerable importance both for the protection of the embarked personnel, guaranteeing the effective safety of the material used, and for the guarantee of the correct functioning of the insulation applied. In fact modern shipbuilding  increasingly pays attention on the issue of weight saving of boats for reasons of fuel efficiency, navigation autonomy and maneuverability. Moreover, a useful software, always updated and correctly configured on applied products by the parent company , is an indispensable tool for designers in order to assess the weight of the insulation used.
Calculus is free and easy to use with any device.
