PIPE INSULATION 15080

ROXUL®1200
General Product Information: Description & Common Applications:
ROXUL® products are mineral wool fibre insulations made The advanced CAD/CAM technology, exclusive to the
from basalt rock and slag. This combination results in a manufacture of today’s Roxul 1200, ensures remarkable
non-combustible product with a melting point of precision throughout the production process.
approximately 2150°F (1177°C), which gives it excellent fire
Dimensional characteristics are reliably exact, meeting and
resistance properties. ROXUL mineral wool is a water
exceeding, in most cases, all required standards and
repellent yet vapour permeable material.
specifications. Nesting is consistently accurate. The result is
not only a exacting fit every time, but also a smooth outer
surface for a jacketed finish that ensures a professional
appearance.

This product is made exclusively for pipe when temperature

demands, as well as, weight reduction and moisture resistance,
are critical.

Roxul 1200’s CAD/CAM manufacturing process is patent

pending.
