Explore our engineering-grade elastomeric insulation sheets, rolls, and specialized low-temperature profiles
In the era of hyper-regulated carbon targets, the global thermal insulation sector is transitioning from standard glass fibers to closed-cell elastomeric synthetic systems. As a leading material choice, the black color rubber foam insulation sheet roll represents the gold standard for mechanical stability, biological inertia, and superior vapor barrier performance.
At Kingflex, we integrate advanced NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) and PVC polymer matrices to formulate a microcellular architecture with closed-cell rates exceeding 98%. This physical structural arrangement limits convection and conduction dynamics, ensuring steady-state thermal conductivity values ($\lambda$) as low as 0.034 W/m·K at 0°C.
Whether deployed in extreme cryogenic storage complexes (LNG) at temperatures dipping to -196°C, or in heavy-load central HVAC systems operating at +105°C, elastomeric solutions deliver thermal durability and structural integrity, lowering maintenance costs and extending the life cycle of industrial piping systems.

Kingflex Insulation Co., Ltd. belongs to the Jinwei Group, which has a 40-year history. Established in 1979, the group was the first major thermal insulation materials manufacturer north of the Yangtze River.
Operating out of Dacheng, China—the capital of green-building materials—our facility runs 5 large automatic assembly lines, producing over 600,000 cubic meters annually. This capacity makes Kingflex a designated supplier for the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Electric Power, and the Ministry of Chemical Industry.
Why mechanical contractors and industrial procurement managers specify Kingflex rubber foam
Each batch features a uniform microcellular design that locks out moisture, preventing corrosion under insulation (CUI) without requiring extra vapor barriers.
Meets BS 476, CE, REACH, RoHS, UL94, and ASTM fire protection requirements. The material is self-extinguishing and will not fuel structural flames.
Provides a recovery rate exceeding 80%. This prevents thinning at joints and bends, maintaining constant thermal barrier performance.
Delivers stable low thermal conductivity under varying humidity conditions, reducing HVAC energy load by up to 28% compared to standard materials.
Specialty grades perform down to -196°C. They are designed to insulate cryogenic pipes and tanks without micro-fracturing from thermal shock.
Free from formaldehyde, dust, and particulate release. Suitable for cleanrooms, hospitals, schools, and food processing facilities.
Detailed dimensional boundaries and physical standards for sheets, rolls, and tube sections
Ideal for large air ducts, storage tank domes, and complex pipeline manifolds. Can be specified with self-adhesive backing or foil cladding.
Pre-slit or un-slit cylindrical profiles designed to slide onto copper water lines and mechanical process piping.
Prevents condensation on cold duct surfaces and limits thermal losses in supply and return air runs.
Insulates ultra-low temperature liquid natural gas systems, minimizing boil-off gas generation.
Dampens vibrations in rail car structures, buses, cleanrooms, and mechanical equipment chambers.
Resists acid, alkali, oil, and salt spray exposure in refineries and processing environments.
Our R&D team consists of 8 professional engineers who continually refine our polymer formulations to match evolving environmental standards. We focus on enhancing polymer crosslinking, improving fire performance, and reducing smoke density.
Every production run is certified to meet BS 476, CE, REACH, RoHS, UL94, and ASTM standards. Each roll features tracking codes for complete batch traceabilty, verifying density, flame retardancy, and thickness.
Proof of reliability from real-world industrial installations, chemical facilities, and LNG terminals
We implement quality checks at each stage of production. From raw elastomer compound blending to the final foam stabilization kiln, performance parameters are recorded under our ISO9001 and ISO14001 factory audits.
Our international sales team supports project designers worldwide. These screenshots from clients show feedback on the durability and thermal performance of Kingflex elastomeric materials.
Technical guidance regarding elastomeric closed-cell insulation specification and lifecycle durability
It is mainly used for HVAC ducts, air conditioning pipes, building thermal insulation, industrial pipeline cold insulation, and sound insulation. Its high water vapor resistance makes it ideal for preventing condensation in cold systems.
Yes, our rubber foam insulation products are flame retardant. They are self-extinguishing upon flame removal and conform to international safety regulations like BS 476, UL94, and ASTM.
Rubber foam is flexible, has a closed-cell structure, and resists moisture, making it ideal for HVAC and cold insulation. Rock wool is highly fireproof and heat-resistant, which makes it suitable for high-temperature industrial steam pipes.
Yes, we provide OEM services, allowing customization of thicknesses (6mm–50mm), width profiles, and surface laminations (such as aluminum foil or self-adhesive backings) to match specific project requirements.
Our products have passed BS 476, CE, REACH, RoHS, UL94, ASTM, and other international certifications, verifying compliance and quality standards across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
Yes, Kingflex products feature production batch traceability codes, allowing verification of raw materials and manufacturing metrics for quality assurance.
We can produce sheet roll thicknesses from 6mm to 50mm, accommodating thin acoustic linings as well as thick, single-layer industrial pipe applications.
Under typical operating temperatures (-40°C to +105°C) and with proper installation, Kingflex rubber foam insulation offers a service life of approximately 10 to 15 years.
