Asawa Insulation COMPANY PROFILE (PDF)

HVAC DUCTING SYSTEM,
UNDERDECK / OVERDECK INSULATION,
FALSE CEILING, COLD STORAGE

Company Profile
Asawa Insulation Pvt. Ltd. (AIPL) is the first
company

in

India

(Mumbai)

to

manufacture Pre-Insulated Panels (PIRPolyisocyanurate) and Accessories under
the brand name of SMART Panels. AIPL
has a state-of-art manufacturing facility
having installed capacity of 15,00,000
sq.m per annum.
We offer complete solutions from supply of SMART Panels with Accessories to

Fabrication & Installation and after sales service.

SMART (PIR) Panels
SMART Panels are manufactured of CFC & HCFC free closed cell

Polyisocyanurate foam “sandwiched” between Aluminium foil or Kraft Paper
with standard size of 4 m x 1.2 m and thickness varying from 15 mm to 50 mm.

SMART (PIR) Panels (Contd..)
SMART Panels are one of the best replacements of:-

• GI Ducts with Nitrile / Glasswool Insulation for HVAC Ducting System.
• Thermocol / Glasswool / Nitrile / Phenotharum for Underdeck & Overdeck
Insulation.

• Calcium Silicate tiles used for False Ceiling.

Applications
• Pre Insulated Ducting System for HVAC
 SMART Pre- Insulated Ducting System is
worldwide

used

residential,

hospitals

in

commercial,

and

industrial

applications.
 The final ducting is versatile and can be

installed internally or externally, can be
concealed above a false ceiling or visibly
mounted.

Applications (contd..)
• Wall Insulation

SMART Panels easily sticks to any surface and
there are no chances of creating any thermal or
cold bridges. We offer two variants for this

application.
 Aluminium Foil / Aluminium Foil
 Aluminium Foil / Paper
•

Floor Insulation / Roof Insulation
SMART Panels are applied seamlessly on the underside of the floor to prevent
heat transfer. PIR foam seamlessly seals the floor in contrast to the other
systems.

Applications (contd..)
• Underdeck Insulation / Overdeck Insulation
SMART Panels are applied to the surface of the
roof to prevent heat transfer. Thickness of the
panels varies from 15 to 50 mm. Variants available
under this application are
 Aluminium Foil / Aluminium Foil

 Aluminium Foil / Paper
 Paper / Paper

Applications
• False Ceiling

SMART Panels are used as false ceiling to prevent
heat and noise transfer as it has better Insulation
and acoustic property as compared to calcium
silicate tiles. We offer two variants under this
application.
 Aluminium Foil / Aluminium Foil
 Paper / Paper
