Rubber foam insulation tube is a uniquely formed closed cell flexible elastomeric insulation, used to insulate heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, refrigerating (HVAC/R). The insulation tube is also CFC/HCFC free, non-porous, fiber free, dust free and resistant to mold growth. The recommended temperature range for insulation is -50℃ to +110℃.
This elastomeric insulation is designed to retard heat transmission and control condensation from chilled-water and refrigeration systems. It also efficiently reduces heat transfer for hot-water plumbing, liquid-heating, and dual-temperature piping.
It is ideal for applications in:
Ductwork
Dual temperature and low pressure steam lines
Process piping
Air-conditioners, including hot gas piping
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended temperature range for this insulation tube?
The recommended temperature range for this closed cell flexible elastomeric insulation is between -50℃ and +110℃.
Is the insulation material resistant to mold and environmental factors?
Yes. The insulation tube is non-porous and highly resistant to mold growth, ozone, U.V., and weathering, showing excellent durability under various environmental conditions.
Can this insulation tube prevent condensation?
Absolutely. It is specifically designed to retard heat transmission and effectively control condensation from chilled-water systems, refrigeration systems, and dual-temperature piping.
Does the material contain harmful fibers or chemicals?
No. The elastomeric insulation is completely CFC/HCFC free, non-porous, fiber free, and dust free, making it clean and safe to handle and install.
What fire ratings does the insulation tube meet?
The material achieves Class 0 and Class 1 fire ratings according to BS 476 Part 6 & Part 7 test standards. It also meets the ASTM E 84 standard for Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Index.
What are the primary applications for this insulation?
It is ideal for heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, refrigerating (HVAC/R), ductwork, dual temperature and low-pressure steam lines, process piping, and hot gas piping in air conditioners.
