Power-teK RL 220 ALU: A Lightweight, High-Performance Insulation Solution Designed with Our Customers in Mind
At Knauf Insulation, we believe that innovation is driven by the real needs of our customers. Over the years,
we’ve listened closely to the challenges faced by professionals working on large-scale industrial insulation projects. From storage tanks and vessels to heat storage systems, we understand the demand for effective thermal insulation that is lightweight, easy to install, and capable of withstanding demanding conditions.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest product: Power-teK RL 220 ALU—a versatile and efficient insulation solution, carefully crafted based on direct feedback from the field.
Listening to Customer Needs
The development of Power-teK RL 220 ALU began by engaging with engineers, contractors, and insulation professionals who needed a product that not only meets the technical requirements of complex installations but also simplifies the process. Through conversations, site visits, and close collaboration, we identified several key challenges:
- Lightweight Need
Heavy insulation is tough to handle, especially on large tanks. The industry needed a lighter option that still performs well thermally. - Streamlined installation
Multi-layer insulation on large tanks is costly and time-consuming. Customers wanted fewer layers without loss of thermal efficiency. - Weather protection
Outdoor insulation risks exposure to rain and harsh weather before cladding, requiring materials that stay intact during installation. - Sustainability
Customers increasingly seek eco-friendly products that minimize environmental impact without sacrificing quality.
Armed with these insights, we set out to develop a product that addresses these needs while upholding our commitment to quality and sustainability.
The Solution: Power-teK RL 220 ALU
Power-teK RL 220 ALU is our answer to these challenges. This lightweight Glass Mineral Wool mat, reinforced with a tear-resistant glass mesh and aluminium foil, is designed for the thermal insulation of heat storage tanks, vessels, and other large structures where high-performance insulation is crucial. Here’s how it meets the demands of today’s industrial insulation projects:
👉 Lightweight and easy to install
Power-teK RL 220 ALU's glass mineral wool is lighter than traditional materials, simplifying transport and installation, especially for large structures. Perfect for projects requiring large-scale insulation with minimal hassle.
