Kingspan® Tarec™pir M1-CR (polyisocyanurate) insulation is suitable for cryogenic applications where excellent fire performance, enhanced compressive strength and resistance to thermal stress are required. It can be supplied in pipe sections and sheets, in a range of densities and thicknesses. Please contact AIS for more information.
Features:
• Closed-cell insulation
• CFC/HCFC free rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation
• Suitable for cryogenic applications as low as -196°C / –292ºF
| Feature | Specification | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal Efficiency | 0.021 W/m·K (initial) | Delivers excellent insulation to reduce energy costs. |
| Wide Temperature Range | –180°C to +120°C | Ideal for extreme hot or cold environments, including cryogenics. |
| Moisture Resistance | ≤ 1% water absorption | Keeps insulation dry and effective in humid conditions. |
| Compressive Strength | ≥ 310 kPa (parallel) | Strong and rigid under load — perfect for industrial use. |
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 450 kPa | Withstands pulling and stress without cracking or splitting. |
| Vapour Barrier | ≤ 4.3 Ng/Pa·s·m | Helps prevent condensation and protects structural materials. |
| Closed Cell Content | ≥ 95% | Enhances moisture resistance and long-term thermal performance. |
| Fire Performance | Flame spread ≤ 25 (ASTM E84) | Improved safety in fire-sensitive applications. |
| Environmental Compliance | CFC/HCFC-free | Supports green building practices and sustainability goals. |
