Cold Room Panel | Polyurethane & Mineral Wool Insulation Boards

Prefabricated insulated sandwich panels provide precision thermal envelope solutions for industrial and commercial temperature-controlled environments. These panels consist of dual pre-painted metal facings structurally bonded to a high-density insulating core, engineered to maintain internal thermal gradients from +15°C down to -40°C.

Primary Function

Thermal insulation, vapor barrier integrity, and structural enclosure for cold stores, cleanrooms, and food processing facilities.

Target Sectors

Cold storage general contractors, mechanical installation contractors, industrial refrigeration system integrators, and modular facility builders.

Core Value Proposition

Low thermal transmittance (U-value), zero air leakage via precision eccentric cam-lock or tongue-and-groove joints, and certified fire safety ratings compliant with international building codes.

Manufacturing Baseline

Produced via continuous high-pressure foaming lines and automated multi-layer roll-forming machines, ensuring consistent core density distribution and precise dimensional tolerances (±1.0 mm).

Product Types & Selection
 

Selecting the correct panel type depends on operating temperature, fire compliance codes, and structural load requirements.

Polyurethane (PUR / PIR) Panels

Application Range: Standard cold rooms, refrigerated warehouses, and frozen food storage (+5°C to -40°C).
Selection Criteria:
Select 100 mm thickness for positive temperature rooms (0°C to +15°C).
Select 150 mm to 200 mm thickness for low-temperature freezers (-20°C to -40°C).
Core Characteristics: Closed-cell ratio ≥ 95%, offering minimal moisture absorption and optimal thermal resistance.

Rigid Mineral Wool Insulation Panels

Application Range: Firewalls, exterior partition walls requiring strict non-combustible ratings, and high-temperature processing zones.
Selection Criteria: Deployed where local building regulations mandate Class A1 non-combustible materials or acoustic isolation alongside thermal break requirements.
Core Characteristics: High melting point (> 1000°C), superior dimensional stability under thermal shock.

Engineering assistance is available for panel layout optimization, thermal bridge calculation, and installation guidance.

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: What is the difference between PUR and PIR core materials for cold rooms?

A: PIR (Polyisocyanurate) features an adjusted chemical formulation that provides enhanced fire resistance, achieving a B-s1, d0 rating, making it the preferred choice for commercial and industrial buildings requiring strict fire safety compliance.

Q: How do cam-lock joints prevent air leakage between panels?

A: Eccentric cam-locks pull adjacent panels tightly together during installation. When combined with factory-applied polyurethane joint sealants, this mechanical connection forms an airtight, vapor-tight seal that eliminates thermal bridging.

Q: What is the maximum unsupported span for ceiling panels?

A: Maximum spans depend on panel thickness, density, and distributed dead loads (such as suspended evaporators). Typically, a 150 mm thick PUR panel can span up to 5.5 meters without intermediate structural support under standard cold room loads.

Q: Are these panels suitable for corrosive environments like seafood processing plants?

A: Yes. For corrosive or high-humidity environments, we supply panels with stainless steel facings or specialized protective coatings (such as PVC plastisol or high-durability PVDF) to prevent chemical degradation.

Q: How are panels packaged for international ocean freight?

A: Panels are stacked with protective foam interleaves, wrapped in moisture-resistant film, secured with edge protectors, and loaded onto heavy-duty wooden skids secured inside 40-foot high-cube containers.

Q: What minimum order quantity (MOQ) is required for custom lengths or non-standard RAL colors?

A: The standard MOQ for custom lengths is 300 m² per specification. For custom RAL color coatings on steel facings, a minimum order of 1,000 m² applies to accommodate coil coating runs.
