The industrial insulation details generally provide that the insulation of the pipes takes place during downtime for maintenance, when the temperature of the pipes is low, and then changes rapidly when the system returns to operation, creating an important thermal expansion that can lead to to severe losses of heat and energy. Therefore, a double layer insulation system is often required to mitigate the potential opening of the joints.
Expert in such processes, Paroc offers half-shell cup solutions and, in addition, the innovative PAROC Pro Lock single-layer solution.
PAROC Pro Lock is a unique solution, which offers the advantages of double-layer insulation but with a single single-layer application. It is a single cup with 2 overlapping thicknesses and staggered interlocking joints (Z-Lock) - both circumferential and longitudinal - which minimize the heat loss caused by mechanical expansion.

When planning a sustainable building, the main challenge is how to achieve eco-friendly goals while ensuring a safe and well-functioning structure. In terms of energy, efficiency, it is not a question of how much insulation to add, but what is the right application choice for the building, considering both the entire ecosystem-building and its function as a system, to achieve full owner satisfaction and occupants.

When planning a sustainable building, the main challenge is how to achieve eco-friendly goals while ensuring a safe and well-functioning structure. In terms of energy, efficiency, it is not a question of how much insulation to add, but what is the right application choice for the building, considering both the entire ecosystem-building and its function as a system, to achieve full owner satisfaction and occupants.
Thinking in terms of design through the lens of integrated systems (so that the acoustic, thermal and humidity mitigation systems work fully and efficiently throughout the life of a building), which takes into account the physical interfaces between the facade and the the building structure, as well as the functional structure between the envelope and the systems, represents a salient point in eco-friendly design. The regulatory framework, in this context, has changed over the years, paying particular attention not only to the aspects of energy containment of buildings, but also to those related to acoustic well-being, sustainability and safety (with particular attention to the danger of propagation of fire).
The trend in recent years to build ever taller buildings has brought the increased fire risk to the building system to the attention of researchers. In fact, architects and designers of curtain walls have often recognized that the void created between the attic and the external wall, if left unprotected, would allow fire and smoke to spread quickly from one floor to another. 
Firespan 40 & 90 EU panels offer a solution to this problem as they have been tested to the North American  standard ASTM E2307: a fire test standard for evaluating the performance of perimeter fire barrier systems that measures the capability of perimeter fire barrier systems prevent the spread of fire when the outer wall flexes or deforms during exposure to fire. ASTM E2307 also determines the period of time in which the perimeter fire protection system limits the penetration of the flame through the cavity (internal void between the floor and the external wall.)
Firespan 40 & 90 EU are Underwriters Laboratories certified fire resistant panels, moisture resistant, which guarantees anti-corrosion and anti-mold effect, moreover they do not deteriorate over time, maintaining constant performance of thermal insulation, fire protection, better acoustic comfort and vapor barrier with the foil faced Firespan 40 & 90 or used in steel back pan assemblies. The panels comply with the North American standards ASTM C 612 and UL specific for mineral fiber panels.
Firespan 40 & 90 EU possess the certifications necessary for the buildings to obtain the LEED and are scrupulously examined at each stage of the life cycle in order to calculate their environmental impact
All related information is collected and published in technical documents and certificates called EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) in accordance with the EN 15804 standard.

From an experimental study carried out on different insulating materials by an independent external laboratory, Paroc stone wool proved to be one of the most performing insulation materials in terms of moisture resistance. The analysis was carried out on four different mechanisms of moisture transport and their effect on buildings with the awareness that moisture penetrates the structures not only during atmospheric precipitation, but also through a silent path, difficult to control.

The analysis was carried out on four different mechanisms of moisture transport and their effect on buildings with the awareness that moisture penetrates the structures not only during atmospheric precipitation, but also through a silent path, difficult to control.
Moisture transport mechanisms are carefully studied in the building design phase, but they must also be carefully assessed during the construction of buildings, not only for the correct application of the products, but also for the interchanges between different materials and their conservation in the dockyard.
An independent study conducted by the VTT (VTT-S-05337-17) demonstrated that there are differences among the insulating materials in terms of moisture resistance.
In fact, during the construction of a building a certain amount of atmospheric water is inevitably given to the structure, in addition to the one contained in construction materials, and even if the insulation does not get wet, the humidity level of the rest of the components increases. For this reason, the water vapor permeability of the insulation materials plays a key role in the drying time of the entire structure, allowing moisture to escape.

Heat dispersion, energy inefficiency, constructive discontinuities, reduced living comfort are some aspects that are felt in  thermal bridge areas.

These areas, if not properly designed, cause  various problems:

• hygienic-sanitary, because of the unevenness temperatures can create large areas of condensation and damp that promote the proliferation of bacteria by reducing the healthiness of the indoor parts;
• structural, over time the different thermal expansion of different materials in contact with each other leads to small movements that can cause detachment and formation of cracks, with the consequent degradation of the materials used;
• energy, as per the losses due to thermal bridges have a significant impact on the increase consumption for heating in the cold season and cooling in the hot season.

Modern construction can be defined not only by triumphs of contemporary architecture but also by ever-developing installation technologies. From heating and water pipes to smoke and exhaust pipes and chimneys, from HVAC equipment to ventilation ducts – installation systems perform many roles in terms of a building’s proper functionality; fire safety being one of the most important. Why should proper technical insulation be given priority when speaking about buildings’ passive fire protection?

Designed for efficient air and water circulation for heating, ventilation and air conditioning purposes, HVAC systems often pass for a building’s “cardiovascular system”. Since it is common for pipework to cross through individual fire separation walls, it is crucial for them to retain sufficient fire protection. Because pipe penetrations  weaken a partition’s overall resistance,  professional fitting and proper materials are necessary in order to prevent/minimise fire transition through individual fire zones. Because of that all openings and service penetrations must meet certain requirements:

• Preventing fire and smoke transfer ;
• Preventing rapid temperature rise on the service penetrations’ surfaces and potential ignition of combustible materials;
• Retaining mechanical strength in case of fire ;
• Capacity to construct multiple HVAC systems within existing service penetrations while retaining their fire resistance class.

According to EN 1366-1 standard there are various types of ducts that differ in virtue of the propagation from inside or outside to the fire conduct (iào, ißo) and the vertical or horizontal arrangement of the pipeline ( I-I). When describing service penetrations’ fire resistance, we employ similar performance criteria as in the case of building components and construction, namely fire protection rating related to integrity (E) and insulation (I). Normally the fire resistance classification is given  as a time limit (in minutes 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 or 360) during which the performance criteria is fulfilled in a standardised fire test. Integrity (E) is the ability of a test specimen of a building construction  element  to prevent the flames and hot gases from passing through when exposed to fire on one side, and to prevent the occurrence of flames on the unexposed side. Insulation (I) defines said object’s  ability to restrict the temperature rise of the unexposed face to below specified levels. Construction meets its integrity limit  after ignition of a cotton wool pad or  sustained 10 seconds’ flaming on the unexposed side. The limit  for fire protection rating related to insulation (I) is met when the temperature increase on the unexposed side exceeds 180°C in relation to the initial state. The analogy between performance criteria between barrier walls and service penetrations is no coincidence. The latter, being part of fire separation walls, should be classified with fire protection classes (EI) required for said constructions, meaning a necessity to employ insulation materials with fire reaction class not lower than the fire resistance of the construction itself. Fume seal (S) defines the passage of flue gas to the side not exposed to fire.

Depending on the installation type, different insulation methods and materials should be applied and ventilation ducts must be selected with the appropriate fire-fighting performance. Paroc has developed a non-combustible wired mat usually covered with aluminum foil interposed between the wool and the net for fire protection of the ventilation ducts. The product is PAROC Hvac Fire Mat (Alucoat), a fireproof, flexible mattress made of biosoluble rock wool, covered with aluminum foil on one side and then quilted with a triple-twist hexagonal galvanized steel mesh. It is tested to achieve a protection up to EI 120 of rectangular and circular ducts, both vertical and horizontal, for internal and external fire exposure. For all the solutions, the product thicknesses to be applied and the characteristics of the metal pipelines will have to respond to what reported in the laboratory certificates.

At the time of installation it is required to cover the ventilation duct with the PAROC Hvac Fire Mat Alucoat mat and to close the longitudinal and transverse edges with galvanized steel wire. Fix the mat further to the ventilation duct with the galvanized steel wire every 330 mm (two fastenings per mattress band).

A wonderful LNG ferry, commissioned by Baleària, built by the Visentini Shipyard and equipped with NAVIS Link

In 2017, the Visentini Shipyard in Donada (RO) has signed a contract for the construction of two LNG ferries ordered by Baleària: an ambitious project that starts off the first dual-fuel ferry ro-pax from Spain operating in the Mediterranean. The Venetian shipyard therefore will build two ferries commissioned with identical characteristics and powered by liquefied natural gas to enhance the fleet's eco-efficiency. In fact, the use of LNG and other clean energies will reduce CO2 and NOx by over 40%, while at the same time eliminating harmful emissions of sulfur and other particles.

The Visentini shipyard, an historical Link’s customer, has contacted us, knowing our products and the availability of our technical office,  for the use of new lightweight stone-wool solutions and the Paroc Marine Navis Slab has joined  into the ambitious Baleària project, combining the excellent quality that has always distinguished PAROC marine insulation solutions with the technological innovation required by the sector.

Hypatia de Alejandria presents itself as  "our case history": a newbuilding, eco-efficient, built according to the new naval dictates that ask to reduce the weights of the boats so that they can consume less fuel and impact less on the environment. In fact, the new solutions, 40% lighter than in the past, were used for all steel structures in class A30 and A60 while for the class A15 structures were used solutions with Marine Fire Slab 80 that do not require coating on reinforcements, both bulkhead and deck. Coibentazioni Navali Toffoletto Naval, historical reality for the installation of insulation, was able to confirm the goodness of the materials during on-board processing. The finishing work was made using the LINK TAPE fiberglass tape and the LINK V20 glue, from the LINK Industries range of marine accessories. The excellent consistency of the low-density panels NAVIS has allowed a quick installation but with an impeccable aesthetic finish, to which Toffoletto and Cantieri Visentini are not willing to give up. The Navis solutions have in fact the advantage of reducing the weight of the product without affecting the mechanical stability and the final appearance of the insulation.

Following the philosophy of rapid installation and the lightness of the solutions, the Paroc Marine Fire Slab 40 G1 panel was chosen for the thermal insulation of bulkheads and decks. The soundproofing of the conditioning rooms and some areas was guaranteed by the consolidated LINK FLEXSTONE coupled panel, rock wool plus visco-elastic membrane.

Hypatia de Alejandria will therefore be an LNG triad that takes full advantage of the new technology of lightweight solutions with NAVIS materials from Paroc for the fire protection of decks and bulkheads in class A: a ferry in which we put ourselves to the test and, thanks to Paroc experience, we have followed the weight reduction requirements but at the same time leaving unchanged the other performances related to the workability of the panels to the quality of the aesthetic finishes.
