”SeaRox” - what’s in a name?
Our customers operate all over the globe. We therefore offer them a uniform, transparent product
range that matches and meets their requirements throughout the world – from the UK to China, from
India to Brazil. It’s only logical that we came up with a clear and consistent nomenclature for our SeaRox
products. Our universal product coding makes it even easier to find the exact product you need,
wherever you are working.
Each product name is structured in the same clear way:

Cutting
Insulation
in general
Insulation material can be installed in different ways. It is
up to the insulation contractor to choose the best method
for each application. For fire rated constructions, the
installation must follow the official drawings according to
the fire test. Drawings can be found on our website,
www.rockwool-rti.com.
A general description of the way the insulation work Using an electrical saw to cut large quantities of
can be done is given below: SeaRox products
An electric saw is recommended when cutting large
quantities of SeaRox insulation. This will ensure a good
angular surface that is easy to tighten against adjacent slabs.
2-5 mm oversize is recommended. The pieces of insulation
Preparation should be at least 150 x 150 mm.
Welding of pins to the plate (bulkhead/deck) Use a knife to cut SeaRox insulation

All steel bulkheads and steel decks with stiffeners are

normally considered loadbearing. To ensure the loadbear-
ing capability and integrity of the structure during a 2
hour hydrocarbon pool fire, ROCKWOOL recommend that
the insulation is always installed against the fire. If there is
a hydrocarbon fire risk on both sides of a steel bulkhead,
then both sides need insulation/protection.

Stiffeners
Stiffeners are used in most bulkhead and deck constructions to give them the strength they need.
In order to prevent heat transmission it is important that the stiffener is insulated correctly. In general,
insulation of the stiffeners must follow the official drawings according to the fire tests.
L-profile stiffener
An alternative design can be used, depending on the product and
construction:
L-profile stiffener
Insulation of L-profile, Insulation of L-profile,
with SeaRox SL 620 with SeaRox SL 620

The insulation of the bulb-profile stiffener typically follows the profile and is
fixed depending on the length of the profile as shown below:
h ≥ 100 mm
Insulation of Bulb profile, Insulation of Bulb profile,

with SeaRox SL 620 with SeaRox SL 620

Insulation of stiffeners with “hybrid solutions”
(combined slab and mat solutions)
For solutions combining the use of SeaRox slabs and mats developed to
make the installation process easier, alternative insulation of stiffeners is used
as shown below:

Bulkhead and deck connections
When two plates are connected in a corner, the heat bridge should always be kept in mind when
insulating. The structure must have insulation so that heat cannot be transferred from one unexposed
surface through the structure onto another unexposed surface. The heat must always go at least
450 mm below the insulation before reaching an unexposed surface (acc. to SOLAS MSC/circ. 1120
annex reg. 9.3.4).

with wire mesh on one side – the side where the washers
are applied and the insulation is fixed.
100 mm Deck construction Installation

Step 1: Pins are welded vertically to the underside of the deck in
alignment with the required position of the draught stop –
with a distance of approx.100 mm between the pins.
Step 2: The pins are then bent 90° in a staggered pattern as on
the drawing to the left.
Step 3: The ROCKWOOL product (and for SeaRox SL 620
additional wire mesh) is then pushed over the pins so that
they protrude at least 25 mm. The insulation is secured
by spring steel washers. The insulation against the lining/
Step 1 ceiling is bent back approx. 100 mm, (for SeaRox SL 620, a
Step 2 40 mm V-cut is made on the compression side to facilitate
Step 3
bending).

Ventilation ducts and other
steel pipes insulated to A-60
Ventilation ducts and steel pipes may in some cases need to be insulated “with A-60 standard”
insulation for fire protection. In accordance with IMO MSC 1/Circ. 1369, this can be done as follows:
Pipes and circular ducts:

System

eaRox WM 640, min. 75 mm

S
(unrestricted application)
The insulation should be fixed by twisting together the wire

mesh at joints and additionally secured with steel bands
or galvanised steel wires (Ø min. 0.7 mm) should be fitted
circumferentially to the system - at least 3 per running
meter of insulation to keep all joints and grooves tightly
closed.
Rectangular ducts:
System
SeaRox SL 620, min. 40 mm
(restricted application only)
eaRox SL 620, min. 60 mm

S
(unrestricted application)
The insulation should be attached by welded steel pins and

washers with slab joints butted together.
Welded pins are generally spaced at 350 mm maximum

centres along the length of the duct and at 500 mm
maximum centres across the width and depth of the duct.
Pins are required on all four sides of vertical ducts, but may
be omitted from the top face of horizontal ducts if they are
substituted by pigtail screws at 250 mm maximum centres
(screw length twice the slab thickness), fixing the side wall
to the overlap top slabs. Side wall slabs must overlap top
and bottom slabs.
85
Penetrations of
A-class fire divisions
When pipes, ducts etc. go through a bulkhead or deck

it is a penetration. To ensure that the penetration does
not compromise the fire division, the penetration shall be
protected by a penetration device tested in accordance
with the IMO 2010 FTP code. If the pipe penetration is
made of steel with a thickness of 3 mm or greater and a
length of not less than 900 mm (preferably 450 mm on
each side of the division), with no openings (meaning
the pipe needs to be welded to the steel bulkhead/deck
plate), then testing is not required. Such penetrations
should be suitably insulated by extending the insulation
at the same level of the division.
ROCKWOOL recommends following “A-60” SeaRox

insulation solutions for pipe penetrations made of steel
with no openings:

The maximum recommended free area is 8 x 8 m. If larger
free areas are to be made, division flat bars should be
made. This allows the insulation to stay in position without
the need for gluing. It is recommended to ensure the
two layers fully overlap. All joints of the slabs must be
tight-butted joints. Smaller weld marks, dents, etc. of an
approximate maximum diameter of 50 mm and height of
10 mm will be absorbed.
If the deck undulates, an approved self-levelling compound

or floor screed – a fire retardant PE compound, cement
based filler or similar – must be used as first layer. If
a water-based floor screed or levelling compound is
1 used, it must be given sufficient time to cure before the
floating construction is installed. It is very important not to

and limit the expected life of the construction.

Technical equipment, pipes, vessels and tanks need insulation to ensure proper process,
storage and handling properties (temperature, viscosity, pressure, etc.). The insulation
must also reduce heat loss efficiently, so that the installations can operate continuously
and economically during the design life. Lastly, the insulation should limit surface
temperatures and so the risk of burns.
Principally, a thermal insulation structure consists of an

appropriate insulating material, usually covered by sheet
metal cladding. This protects the insulation from external The benefits of correct thermal insulation

HVAC insulation - pipes

ProRox mandrel wound pipe sections with WR-TechTM
or SeaRox lamella mats are most commonly used to
insulate the pipes for HVAC (Heating, ventilation and
air conditioning) applications onboard ships. The aim is
to prevent heat loss in heating and hot water systems.
Heating and hot water also need to reach the furthermost
cabin from the source.
Air ducts
There are many requirements with regard to air ducts. Most
important is that consideration is given to the comfort of
living quarters onboard vessels and platforms and that no
compromises are made with regard to fire safety.
In connection with ventilation of cabins and other rooms, it must

also be ensured that no condensation is formed and that the
required temperature is maintained at all times. This is achieved by
using one of the ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation products in the
correct thickness. Rockassist, our thermal calculation program, is
available on our website.

insulated, both to save energy by reducing the heat emission
from surfaces and for safety reasons to prevent burns.
ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation has a range of products
specially developed for this purpose (ProRox series). The
foremost products in this range (pipe sections and wired
mats) are marine-approved, which means they complement
the SeaRox range.
ProRox PS 960 pipe sections are used for hot piping,

including exhaust pipes, while ProRox WM 950/960 wired
mats are used for equipment, vessels and larger diameter
piping.
SeaRox SL 620 slabs, which are often used for fire divisions,
are also perfectly suited as thermal insulation for hot surfaces.
The final choice of product and insulation thickness depends

on the geometry of the equipment, process and ambient
temperatures, the choice of cladding and, most importantly,
the purpose of the insulation.

Insulation with
ProRox pipe section
We have a wide selection of marine-approved pipe

insulation solutions for large and small pipes that satisfy all
requirements. The mandrel wound ProRox pipe sections
are made of stone wool and incorporate WR-Tech, an
innovative water-repellent binder to mitigate the risk of
corrosion under insulation. The ProRox pipe sections
are available with or without reinforced aluminium foil
covering.
The ProRox pipe sections are especially suitable for

ambient to very high temperatures, but with a good water
vapour barrier they can also be used for chilled media.

temperatures of 620°C according to EN 14707. Facing
up to 80°C. The pipe sections are supplied ready split
and hinged for quick and easy snap-on assembly and are
suitable for thermal and acoustical insulation of pipe work.
Their excellent fit and high compression resistance mean

that pipe sections can be applied in a single layer without
any additional spacers. Consequently the number of
thermal bridges, which have a negative influence on the
insulation, is greatly reduced.
At temperatures above 300°C the provisional application of spacers must be
determined in each individual case due to the evaporation of the binder.
Lateral joint
Banding
We recommend that the pipe section be secured to the
Steel banding pipe by applying three steel bands per section length,
with the end bands approximately 100 mm from the lateral
joints.
If wire ties or spiral binding are to be used, they should

only be considered on pipe sections with an outer surface
diameter of 200 mm or less.
Steel banding
on both layers
In those cases, there should be:
At least three wire ties per section.

Spiral binding must be per section
(tied off at each end of each pipe section).
Steel banding

If more than one layer of pipe section is required, both
layers should be banded to ensure a consistently tight fit

staggered joints, both laterally and longitudinally.

Due to their flexibility and high temperature resistance,

SeaRox and ProRox wired mats have relatively low

should only be installed in combination with spacers.
Due to the thermal bridges of this combination the
better insulation performances are often achieved in the

Impact sound
reduction
The principles of absorption and reduction work also
here, but in floating floor constructions it is possible to
enhance the general sound reduction and also impact noise
reduction with a mass-spring-mass effect. The insulation is
positioned between two mass layers (top steel plate(s) and
the steel deck) and the elasticity of the insulation material
functions like a spring, dissipating sound energy and so
reducing the noise transmitted through the construction.
For floating floors the insulation must have the right balance
between compression resistance and dynamic stiffness for
optimum acoustic performance. Higher insulation thickness
improves the sound reduction.
The dynamic stiffness is an important parameter when

optimising floating floors. This is true with respect to air-
and structure-borne noise and impact noise.
In principle, the dynamic stiffness should be as low as

possible in order to obtain a low natural frequency of the
floating floor. On the other hand, the load-bearing capacity
and the possible unfavourable experience of walking on a
floor that is too soft may set a lower limit for the stiffness.
SeaRox SL 436 is the most common product used for

floating floors. This product has been optimized for dynamic
stiffness.

Thermal and comfort insulation
The focus on the requirements of the indoor climate and comfort has
increased in recent years. Proper insulation is an important part of
maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature with a minimum energy
consumption for heating or air conditioning.
The most common way of expressing thermal properties

is by using the following nomenclature:
Coefficient of the thermal transmission (U-value)

Thermal resistance (R)
Thermal conductivity ()
It is important to note that the -value of any given material

varies with temperature.

Thermal calculations
Lambda value/ 1m
thermal conductivity ()
he lambda () value, also referred to as thermal
T 1m
conductivity, is a value indicating how well a material
conducts heat. It indicates the quantity of heat (W),
which is conducted through a 1 m2 wall, in a thickness
of 1 m, when the difference in temperature between
the opposing surfaces of this wall equals 1 K (or 1°C).
In practice,  is a numerical value expressed in terms
of W/(mK). The lower the  value, the better the
1m
insulation property of the material.
Examples at 10°C
Steel:  = 50 W/mK
Concrete:  = 1.6 W/mK tK (t-1)K
Glass:  = 1.1 W/mK
Wood:  = 0.12 W/mK
ROCKWOOL:  = 0.035 W/mK Most materials will increase  = W/mK
in  when temperatures rise.
U value
The transport of thermal energy through a structure is
U = W/m2K expressed by a coefficient, U (Thermal transmittance

Surfaces
There are many reasons for choosing insulation products with facings. In most cases, this is
done to create a vapour barrier, which prevents formation of condensation on the cold side
of a construction. If vapour is the reason for choosing a new surface, we offer you different
products with reinforced aluminium foil. In other cases where a better appearance than the
pure wool is demanded, we provide various surfaces, such as glass tissue and glass cloth.
If the product needs to be fixed, a surface with wire mesh might be preferable.
PLAIN INSULATION
Plain ROCKWOOL insulation
This is our basic product, which is
approved and suitable for almost any
purpose. The products are based
on stone wool which can withstand
temperatures above 1,000°C without
melting.
WIRED MAT Wired mat with wire mesh

Some of our fire-rated constructions are
based on wired mat and the wire mesh
can form an additional safety to secure
the product. Within technical insulation
a wired mat is often used for high
temperature applications or if you need
to bend the insulation around a pipe, for
example.
WIRED MAT REINFORCED ALU Wired mat with reinforced aluminium

foil and wire mesh
This surface has the same properties
as the wired mat plus the advantage of
creating a dust free surface. Please note
that the aluminium foil will be perforated
due to the stitching process and cannot
therefore be used as vapour barrier.
REINFORCED ALU (ALU) Reinforced aluminium foil

The reinforced aluminium surface will be
the best solution if you need a vapour
barrier. The product will secure that no
vapour will enter the product and result in
corrosion of steel and damaged wool.

GLASS CLOTH
Glass cloth
This surface has three major properties:
impact resistant, dust free surface and a
nicer outlook. This surface will in many
cases save the use of an extra metal
cladding as the woven cloth is strong
enough to withstand most impacts from
the surroundings.
GLASS TISSUE BLACK (TB)

Black glass tissue
The thin black tissue is often used in
ventilation shafts or behind a perforated
plate as it secures a dust free surface and
a nice appearance.
GLASS TISSUE NEUTRAL (TN) Neutral glass tissue

The thin neutral surface will secure a dust
free surface. The white/transparent look
creates a bright surface.
SEAROX ACOUSTIC FOIL

SeaRox acoustic foil
A very strong and durable thin 19μ
polymer film, which is resistant to oil,
water and most other substances you
would expect in an engine room. The
noise absorption properties will remain
at full capacity (the film is marketed as a
separate product).

Mineral wool products bearing the EUCEB trademark are
not classified as hazardous. Specifiers, installers, building
owners and the public can have complete confidence in
mineral wool products that carry the EUCEB trademark.
EUCEB is a voluntary initiative by the mineral wool industry.

The environment
ROCKWOOL SeaRox and ProRox are free of asbestos,
heavy metals, bio persistent flame retardants etc., as
documented in the green passports issued by ROCKWOOL
Green Passport (Hong Kong International Convention).
Green Passports were introduced with IMO Res A.980 (24).

The Green Passport is a single document for each vessel
listing all the potentially hazardous materials onboard as
stated in the Inventory of Hazardous Materials Resolution
MEPC.269(68).
This document stays with the ship throughout its life until it
is decommissioned and sent to the ship demolition yard.
None of the ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation stone wool
products for the marine and offshore market produced
at any ROCKWOOL production plant will be classified
as hazardous or potentially hazardous material under the
abovementioned IMO resolution (MEPC.269(68) Tables A,
B and C and EU regulation No. 1257/2013 of the European
Parliament and Council.
ROCKWOOL insulation therefore has no impact on the

inventory of hazardous material, as stated in the Inventory
of Hazardous Materials Resolution MEPC.269(68).
