Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the primary applications of this rubber foam insulation?
This rubber foam insulation is ideal for retarding heat transmission and controlling condensation in chilled-water and refrigeration systems, as well as minimizing heat transfer in hot-water plumbing, liquid-heating, dual-temperature piping, ductwork, and low pressure steam lines.
What is the operating temperature range for this material?
The material performs safely and effectively within a temperature range of -50°C to 110°C, tested in compliance with GB/T 17794-1999 standards.
How well does this insulation resist fire and smoke?
It features excellent fire safety characteristics, achieving a BS 476 Class 0 & Class 1 fire rating, a Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Index of 25/50 (ASTM E 84), and an Oxygen Index of ≥36 (ISO4589).
Does this insulation offer resistance against environmental factors like U.V. and ozone?
Yes, it demonstrates outstanding environmental durability, with high resistance ratings for fungi (ASTM 21), ozone (GB/T 7762-1987), and weather/U.V. degradation (ASTM G23).
What is the thermal conductivity of this rubber foam insulation?
According to ASTM C 518 testing, the thermal conductivity values are ≤0.030 W/(m.k) at -20°C, ≤0.032 W/(m.k) at 0°C, and ≤0.036 W/(m.k) at 40°C, ensuring high thermal efficiency.
Why is the closed-cell structure important?
The closed-cell structure prevents moisture penetration, resulting in low water absorption rates and stable thermal performance, while preventing condensation and slowing down aging over time.
