Kingflex
Our flagship thermal and elastomeric product line, designed to meet rigorous BS 476, CE, and ASTM standardizations globally.
Within high-performance industrial construction and mechanical insulation, thermal performance is only as reliable as its weakest link. Vapour barrier sealing tapes function as a primary defense mechanism, preventing moisture penetration into closed-cell elastomeric structures, rock wool matrices, and cryogenic systems. A microscopic gap in a vapour barrier can lead to localized thermal bridging, condensation accumulation, and the eventual onset of Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI).
Kingflex Insulation Co., Ltd. has developed specialized sealing solutions that ensure continuous vapor resistance. These sealing tapes prevent the migration of ambient water vapor into cold-active process loops, HVAC ducts, and refrigeration lines. By maintaining a continuous vapor envelope, our tapes help secure long-term thermal conductivity and structural integrity across the thermal distribution network.
Globally, project engineers face challenges associated with variable humidity levels and thermal cycling. Standard vapor barrier systems require high-tack, elastomeric adhesive tape to survive extreme thermal expansion and contraction cycles without delaminating. Our NBR/PVC-based sealing tapes are engineered specifically to matches the physical properties of elastomeric foam insulation, achieving a homogeneous expansion and contraction interface.
Understanding the shifting technical guidelines, regulatory landscapes, and green building standardizations reshaping global industrial markets.
Modern building regulations, including LEED v4 and BREEAM, mandate extremely low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) profiles for adhesives and sealing agents. Our self-adhesive vapour barrier tapes conform to strict air quality standards while maintaining robust tack performance.
LNG liquefaction terminals, petrochemical plants, and sub-zero storage systems operate under extreme temperature differentials. Specialised vapour barrier tapes must remain flexible at down to -40°C without crystallizing or losing adhesive grip.
Industrial fire safety guidelines (such as BS 476 Parts 6 & 7 and UL94 Class V-0) demand high self-extinguishing capabilities in insulation accessories. Kingflex ensures all NBR/PVC foam tapes incorporate fire-retardant chemistry to maintain fire rating continuity.
Established as a division of the Jinwei Group, which boasts a rich industrial history dating back to 1979, Kingflex Insulation Co., Ltd. has developed into a leading manufacturer of thermal insulation materials north of the Yangtze River. For over forty years, we have worked to refine energy-saving construction materials and supply paths.
Located in the Dacheng green building materials industrial zone in China, Kingflex operates as a fully integrated research, production, and distribution enterprise. We specialize in closed-cell elastomeric technology, providing technical consultations, product manufacturing, on-site installation guidance, and comprehensive post-sale services for major global projects.
At the center of Kingflex's market leadership is a specialized research and development division. Our facility employs 8 dedicated R&D engineers, 6 international customer support representatives, and a skilled workforce of 230 production personnel. This combination of technical expertise and production scale ensures that every batch of vapour barrier sealing tape meets strict tolerances.
Our research facility works to improve NBR/PVC foaming parameters, develop specialized high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA), and optimize the flexibility profiles of our insulation tapes. Our testing laboratories evaluate tensile strength, adhesive shear, water vapor permeance, and thermal stability in extreme environments before shipping product.

Our sealing tape is manufactured using a modified Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) blend. This polymer combination delivers ozone resistance, oil resistance, and flexible thermal resilience. The closed-cell profile prevents moisture absorption, ensuring that seams, joints, and terminations stay dry and insulated over years of service.
For adhesive performance, Kingflex uses a modified acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer backed by an easy-release grid liner. The high initial tack simplifies installation on overhead ducts and vertical pipe runs, while the adhesive bond gains strength over time to resist peeling even when exposed to humidity and high-velocity airflow.
Our automated production lines are calibrated to ensure uniform density and cellular distribution across every batch of thermal insulation materials.
Explore how Kingflex insulation tapes and elastomeric sheets provide vapor barrier seals across diverse mechanical engineering projects.
Condensation forms quickly on commercial HVAC air ducts and chilled water supply loops when ambient humidity meets the cold pipe surface. Kingflex elastomeric NBR/PVC tapes seal joints and seams, creating a continuous vapor barrier. This prevents liquid water accumulation, helping protect surrounding structures from moisture damage and mold growth.
Cryogenic infrastructure operates at temperatures down to -196°C. In these systems, even small breaches in the vapor seal can lead to ice build-up, which damages insulation and reduces efficiency. Kingflex cryogenic insulation boards and NBR/PVC sealing tapes are engineered to withstand extreme thermal stresses, preventing vapor infiltration in low-temperature operations.
In large-scale public facilities like airports, transit hubs, hospitals, and hotels, HVAC systems must prioritize indoor air quality and fire safety. Our halogen-free, fiber-free, and dust-free elastomeric sheets and sealing tapes meet strict safety requirements, providing clean, code-compliant, and long-lasting insulation performance.
Our manufacturing processes are audited annually to maintain compliance with international regulatory bodies, offering complete product traceability.
Each production run of elastomeric sheets, tubes, and sealing tapes at Kingflex is assigned a batch number, providing full traceability from raw materials to the final product. Our quality management system complies with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 international standards.
Kingflex insulation products are certified by independent testing authorities to meet global building standards. Our certifications include BS 476 Class 0 & Class 1, CE compliance, REACH & ROHS chemical safety standards, UL94 fire performance, and ASTM thermal insulation parameters. This compliance helps design engineers specify Kingflex products with confidence.
