Alucobond insulationECOTHERM alucobond insulation systemfor vertical and horizontal applicationsECOTHERM designs andmanufactures alucobond insulationsolutions for horizontal and verticalstorage tanks for indoor and outdoorapplications.Close-upVertical connection of the alucobondpanels with specialaluminium H-shaped profies.4 ECOTHERM Insulation Solutions

Alucobond insulationProtective plastic foilEach alucobond insulation is shipped with a plastic foil in orderto protect the high quality surface against scratches.Close-upECOTHERM individually manufacturesthe suitable alucobond insulationfor each storage tank. The designof the supporting structure for horizontaltanks ensures maximum formstability and therefore the best possibleinsulation of the tank.ECOTHERM Insulation Solutions5

Alucobond insulationECOTHERM insulation system forhot water tanks scores with patentsUnique insulation systemECOTHERM has developed an insulationsystem for hot water storagetanks of 200 to 250,000 liters with afibre-fleece insulation and an alucobondsheeting. Insulation for evenbigger tanks are also possible.Less heat lossThe insulation system with polyesterfibre-fleece has up to 30 percent lessheat losses in the standby mode comparedto conventional insulations.Patented covering rosettesThe newly developed, patented coveringrosettes for connecting sleevesensure a reliable seal and prevent byits self-locking seat heat losses at theconnecting points.Aluminium composite panelThe aluminum composite panel consistsof a polyethylene core with acoated aluminum sheet on both sides.Highest stabilityAluminum composite panels have abetter stability compared to thin stainlesssteel sheets, but no welding isneeded on site. Additionally the materialis cheaper. So the investmentcosts and the installation costs areusually lower compared to stainlesssteel solutions.Product benefitsLow weight, high stability and flatness,small expansion, high resistantto rust, enviromental effects and deformation,a variety of applicationsand easy installation.The patented covering rosettes ensurethrough their self-locking seat for areliable seal.The ECOTHERM insulation system offers a lot ofbenefits due to patented components compared tomany other insulations.6 ECOTHERM Insulation Solutions

Fibre-fleeceThe fibre-fleece insulation fits perfectly to the shape of the storage tank.Unique fibre-fleece insulationThe newly developed fibre fleece insulationhas up to 30 percent lessheat losses compared to conventionalfoam insulations. Fibre-fleece hasbeen used for several years in theclothing industry and in the automotiveindustry. The material fits perfectlyto the shape of the storage tank dueto its special characteristics. Thus socalledchimney effects are reduced.Without the use of chemical additivesthe insulating material is made of PETbottles and is therefore 100 percentrecyclable.The insulation is flame retardantaccording to DIN 4102-1 class B2 andis available on request also for B1.ECOTHERM Insulation Solutions7

Fibre-fleeceSustainability: insulation materialfrom PET bottlesThe insulator of the ECOTHERMinsulation solutions is made fromPET bottles. The production entirelypasses on the use of chemical additives.The fibre-fleece insulation isthus 100 percent recyclable.Environmental policyAs a modern and innovative companyECOTHERM accepts its environmentalresponsibilities towards societyand future generations. We act accordingto the principle of preventiveenvironmental protection.Best practiceThe development of ECOTHERM’sfibre-fleece insulation is just one ofmany examples that the environmentalpolicy is not just words on a sheetof paper.ECOTHERMfibre-fleece insulationPET bottlesRecyclingResponsibilityWe take the responsibility for the environmentallife cycle of our productsby 100 percent. This starts with intelligent,future-oriented self-development,where we focus on highestenergy efficient and environmentallyfriendly materials. Our responsibilitycontinues with the selection of suitablesuppliers and extends to the continuousresearch and development topermanently improve our products.PET granulesWithout the use of chemical additives the insulating material is madeof PET bottles and is therefore 100 percent recyclable.ECOTHERM Insulation Solutions9

Alucobond composite panelsAlucobond composite panelsAlucobond composite panels consist of a robust PEcore with aluminium sheets on the inside and outside.This design gives the panels perfect stability combinedwith a low weight. Additionally the aluminium sheetingis resistant to environmental effect - much better thane. g. a stainless steel sheet.On stock and available in silvermetalic.Other colors available on request.Material:• Polypropylen aluminium composite panels• Thickness: 2 mm• Color: silver 906• Core material: PE• Aluminium inside and outside: 0.2 mm• Weight: 2.9 kg/m 2Patented covering rosettesThe ECOTHERM self-developed coveringrosettes for connecting sleevesensure through their self-locking seatfor optimum sealing and prevent heatlosses at the connecting points.The rosette is pushed over the connectingpipe. The patented barbs(marked red in the pictures on the left)prevent the rosette to loosen from itsposition on the pipe.ECOTHERM rosettes can be openedand closed along its circumference.Thus it is also possible to mountthe rosettes on the pipes of alreadyfinished connections.For unused connections, there areoptional caps, which help to minimizeheat losses.10 ECOTHERM Insulation Solutions
