With the continuous expansion of urban development and the increasing coverage of centralized heating systems, the transmission distances of thermal network pipelines are growing longer, leading to a steady rise in heat loss. Eliminating heat loss from insulated pipelines has become critically important. As a key component affecting heat loss in insulated pipelines, pipe supports must be integrated with effective insulation to form a unified system with the overall pipeline insulation. Only by fundamentally eliminating the occurrence of “thermal bridges” can energy conservation objectives be achieved.
Shijiazhuang Chenxing Industrial's vermiculite insulated pipe supports represent an innovative eco-friendly material. Non-toxic, odorless, and featuring sound insulation, sound absorption, and thermal insulation properties, they offer customizable adjustments for hardness, thickness, and density. When raw vermiculite ore undergoes high-temperature calcination, its volume rapidly expands 8-20 times, achieving a density of 130-180 kg/m³ post-expansion and delivering exceptional thermal insulation performance. Leveraging this property, vermiculite insulation pipe supports are manufactured by uniformly mixing 80% vermiculite, 15% high-temperature adhesive, and 5% other additives. The mixture forms into spherical pellets that do not stick to hands when compressed. These pellets are placed into molds and subjected to high-temperature compression for approximately two hours. After removal from the molds, the supports cool naturally. Custom-made to fit various pipe dimensions and user requirements, vermiculite pipe supports offer non-combustibility, thermal insulation, soundproofing, extended service life, easy installation, and energy-saving environmental benefits.
1. Fire-Resistant Vermiculite Pipe Insulation Supports: Vermiculite pipe supports are Class A1 non-combustible inorganic materials with a fire resistance rating exceeding 3 hours. They do not emit toxic gases under high temperatures or fire conditions.
2. Excellent Thermal Insulation Properties: Vermiculite insulation supports feature low bulk density, low thermal conductivity, and low water absorption, making them ideal materials for thermal insulation and heat retention.
3. High Compressive Strength and Strong Adhesion: These pipe supports exhibit high compressive strength exceeding 0.5 MPa. The system materials demonstrate excellent compatibility with high bonding strength to walls. The panels feature low drying shrinkage, preventing hollow spots or cracking, and offer strong wind pressure resistance.
4. Excellent sound insulation: Expanded vermiculite is a porous material, making it an effective acoustic barrier. It significantly reduces noise from piping systems, enhancing living environments.
5. Long service life matching building structures: Vermiculite offers superior stability, high resistance to carbonation, aging, and freezing, along with excellent weather resistance, ensuring a lifespan equal to that of the building. Current building design lifespans range from 50 to 100 years, whereas organic materials typically last only 20-25 years. Replacing them incurs high secondary construction costs, causes significant environmental pollution, and disrupts daily life and production.
6. Simple Installation and Short Construction Period: Custom-produced vermiculite insulation pipe supports are easy to handle and can be installed concurrently with other work, significantly reducing construction time.
7. Energy-saving, eco-friendly, and resource-efficient: Expanded vermiculite serves as the primary raw material. It does not burn or emit toxic gases at high temperatures and is non-radioactive, making it a safe and environmentally friendly product. No harmful gas emissions occur during production, installation, or use, and it avoids the health hazards associated with mineral wool dust. Upon building demolition, the material can be crushed and reused as filler, causing no environmental pollution and enabling sustainable production.
