Rockwool unveils Prolit Lamella Mat, a new insulation solution for HVAC systems

To address this, ROCKWOOL has launched Prolit Lamella Mat, an insulation blanket designed to optimize the efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Combining thermal, acoustic, and fire insulation, this innovative solution limits energy loss, improves the sustainability of installations, and enhances building safety.

Energy performance and safety

The insulation of ventilation ducts and ducts plays a vital role in the energy performance of buildings. Proper thermal protection helps limit heat loss, optimize the efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and reduce energy consumption. It also prevents the formation of condensation, thus limiting the risk of corrosion and extending the lifespan of installations.

Beyond ventilation ducts, insulating HVAC system pipes and ducts is essential for maintaining the optimal temperature of liquids or gases transported through a building or facility. Without adequate protection, these fluids can experience significant thermal fluctuations, leading to a loss of efficiency and increased energy requirements.

From a safety perspective, duct insulation provides a barrier against the spread of fire and smoke, a crucial factor in protecting buildings and their occupants. At the same time, it contributes to acoustic comfort by reducing noise transmission through ventilation ducts.

A solution perfectly suited to HVAC systems

Prolit Lamella Mat is an insulating mat made up of rock wool strips with perpendicular fibers, bonded to a glass fiber-reinforced aluminum foil. This configuration guarantees a uniform insulation thickness, even in the corners, thus ensuring constant and optimal thermal protection.

Designed to adapt to different types of conduits, this lightweight and flexible insulation blanket perfectly adapts to the shapes and angles of installations, thus simplifying implementation and reducing installation time.

The key benefits of Prolit Lamella Mat

• Ease of installation: Its flexibility and lightness allow for quick and efficient installation on all conduit shapes.
• Thermal and acoustic performance: Thanks to the perpendicular orientation of the fibers, the insulation is homogeneous, limiting thermal losses and improving sound comfort.
• Durability: Made from rock wool, a material renowned for its robustness and longevity, this solution guarantees consistent performance for decades, without requiring any special maintenance.
• Enhanced fire safety: Classified A1 in reaction to fire, Prolit Lamella Mat offers effective protection against the spread of flames and smoke, thus contributing to the safety of buildings and their occupants.

Incombustible, non-hydrophilic and recyclable

Derived from basalt, stone wool offers essential technical properties for durable and safe insulation. ROCKWOOL insulation products are non-combustible and can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C. Combined with careful installation, they can contain and prevent the spread of a fire. Non-hydrophilic, stone wool does not retain moisture, thus preventing the risk of condensation and mold, while ensuring consistent performance over time. Finally, stone wool is infinitely recyclable. Thanks to its Rockcycle service, offered in France for over 10 years, ROCKWOOL collects and recycles rock waste to produce new insulation. This service has enabled the collection and recycling of over 4000 tons of stone wool on the French market during the year 2024.
