Kingflex
Kingflex is a flexible, closed-cell insulation material with built-in antimicrobial product protection. It is the preferred insulation for pipes, air ducts and vessels in hot and cold water services, chilled water lines, heating systems, air conditioning ductwork and refrigerated pipework.
Found in commercial, industrial, residential and public buildings, insulation helps to control condensation, protect against frost and reduce energy loss.
Main Application: Chilled water pipes, condense pipes, air ducts and hot-water pipes of air-conditioning equipment, heat preservation and insulation of central air-conditioning system, Every kind of cold/hot medium piping.

Q1: What are the main applications for Kingflex insulation?
A1: It is primarily used for chilled water pipes, condense pipes, air ducts, and hot-water pipes of air-conditioning systems, central air-conditioning, and various cold/hot medium piping networks.
Q2: What is the fire rating and performance of Kingflex insulation?
A2: The insulation has a Class 0 fire classification to BS476 Parts 6 and 7, and meets Class 0 & Class 1 standards. It has a Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Index of 25/50 according to ASTM E 84, with an Oxygen Index of ≥36.
Q3: How does the material prevent mold and bacteria growth?
A3: The insulation material is designed with built-in antimicrobial product protection, which actively reduces the growth of mold and bacteria over time.
Q4: What temperature range can Kingflex insulation withstand?
A4: According to GB/T 17794-1999 test methods, it operates efficiently within a temperature range of -50°C to 110°C.
Q5: Is Kingflex insulation safe for indoor building environments?
A5: Yes. It is certified for low chemical emissions and is entirely free of dust, fibre, and formaldehyde, making it safe for commercial, residential, and public buildings.
Q6: How does the closed-cell structure improve performance?
A6: The closed-cell structure provides reliable, built-in condensation control and effectively minimizes thermal and energy loss, preventing moisture accumulation and frost.
