Kingflex
Explore our elite range of flexible elastomeric closed-cell insulation materials, manufactured to exceed strict British Standards and global construction codes.
The demand for high-grade flexible elastomeric foam insulation (often queried alongside specialized structural adhesive systems like "Flex Glue") is experiencing rapid expansion in the UK and European markets. Driven by stringent sustainability targets, including the UK Net Zero 2050 mandate, modern commercial developments and public infrastructure projects require mechanical insulation materials that optimize energy performance while offering bulletproof moisture resistance.
In the UK's challenging marine and damp climate, moisture ingress in piping systems is a primary catalyst for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). Traditional fibrous insulation materials like rock wool are highly susceptible to moisture collection. By contrast, closed-cell NBR/PVC elastomeric rubber foam provides a built-in, continuous vapor barrier. This structural integrity guarantees that the thermal conductivity remains stable throughout the mechanical lifespan of the system.
"High-density elastomeric systems combined with high-tack flexible adhesives provide seamless thermal barriers, eliminating mechanical draft issues and reducing thermal bypass by up to 34%."
Analyzing the chemical, physical, and fire properties of NBR/PVC Closed-Cell Foam
Features an even foaming structure with a closed-cell rate exceeding 98%. This microporous engineering halts water vapor migration and locks in long-term thermal resistance values, ensuring high performance in humid environments.
Designed and tested to meet international standards such as BS 476 (Class 0 & Class 1), UL 94, and CE. The material contains non-halogenated flame retardants that cause self-extinguishing behavior and minimal toxic gas release.
The elastomer structure functions as a mechanical barrier for structural vibration and airborne sound transmission. Ideal for building machine rooms and air conditioning ductwork systems seeking acoustic decibel reduction.
Deploying flexible elastomeric systems in core infrastructure sectors across the United Kingdom.
Modern commercial buildings in major UK urban centers like London, Birmingham, and Manchester require highly efficient mechanical air systems. Kingflex elastomeric sheets are widely specified for central AC ducting to prevent heat loss, suppress HVAC fan noise, and secure moisture control on cooling coils.
With the rise of low-temperature engineering and liquid natural gas (LNG) terminals, insulating pipes at temperatures down to -196°C is vital. Our specialized elastomeric cryogenic systems deliver crack resistance, micro-deformation tolerance, and long-term thermal resistance under extremely demanding conditions.
Elastomeric foam requires chemical-resistant adhesive joints ("Flex Glue" systems) to build continuous seals. Our adhesive compatibility portfolio ensures joints remain airtight, resisting temperature fluctuations and stress cycles over a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.
