- Provides effective insulation in large temperature range environments ranging from -50 to 110 degrees C.
- Very low thermal conductivity properties result in excellent insulation for AC ducts, Chilled water pipelines, copper pipelines, drain pipelines, etc.
- Very high water vapor diffusion resistance properties resulting in negligible water absorption.
- Class O provides top notch fire performance as per the building regulations.
- Non-reactive and offers excellent resistance to chemicals, oil, and ozone.
- Zero Ozone depletion properties.
- It is dust and fiber free product.
Flexible elastomeric closed-cell foam pipe insulation, also known as rubber, is composed of synthetic rubber. The two main foam rubber formulations that are commercially available are nitrile butadiene rubber with PVC (NBR/PVC). The insulation materials are widely in multiple scenes for thermal insulation and noise reduction, which are used in various pipes and equipment, such as central air conditioning, air conditioning units, construction, chemical, medicine, electrical appliances, aerospace, auto industry, thermal power etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the working temperature range for this insulation?
This flexible elastomeric closed-cell foam insulation performs effectively in a temperature range from -50°C to +110°C.
How does the material prevent condensation and moisture absorption?
The insulation features very high water vapor diffusion resistance, which results in negligible water absorption and prevents moisture build-up around piping systems.
What are the primary applications of closed-cell foam insulation?
It is widely used for thermal insulation and noise reduction in AC ducts, chilled water lines, copper pipe lines, drain pipes, and across HVAC, construction, chemical, and automotive systems.
Does this insulation comply with safety and fire regulations?
Yes, it achieves a Class 0 and Class 1 fire rating according to BS 476 Part 6 & 7 standards, offering excellent fire performance for safety compliance.
Is this insulation material environmentally friendly and safe to handle?
Yes, it offers zero ozone depletion properties and is entirely dust and fiber-free, making it both environmentally friendly and safe during installation.
