Phenolic is an alternative duct material that assists HVAC contractors in improving their systems' thermal and duct leakage efficiency, it is high performance material and makes a fine choice for ductwork. Because phenolic is a 2-in-1 solution that can handle both ductwork and insulation, it eliminates the need for separate ductwork and insulation. This duct material can be used for both interior and exterior applications, and it has a number of advantages.
Ductwork composed of stiff phenolic foam might save you a lot of weight on your project. Indoor systems save the most money, with rectangular, circular, and flat oval systems all capable of reducing weight by more than 70% when compared to fiberglass-wrapped sheet metal.
Because phenolic ductwork is pre-insulated, it doesn't need to be wrapped in insulation. As a result, space needs are reduced, and duct can be installed in more confined areas, such as flush with ceilings and walls, to free up more room. Depending on the size of the ducting, you may also require fewer hangers.
Proficient Air Conditioning Industries LLC's Pre-Insulated and Phenolic UL-181 ducts are constructed from the highest quality approved panels. The rigid thermoset polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulating core of the PIR panels provides excellent performance. Both sides of the insulating core are covered in embossed aluminum foil.
Phenolic ducts by Proficient Air Conditioning Industries LLC are a light weight, high-quality, high-performance air duct system for air distribution. The Phenolic panels are made of closed cell phenolic foam that is free of CFCs and HCFCs. The ductwork is UL-listed. As a class 1 air duct, it meets the UL Class 181 safety standard and is certified by the Dubai Central Laboratory. Phenolic Panels have fibre-free, closed-cell insulating core produced from a blowing agent with low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP).
