What are the main advantages of a closed-cell structure in pipe insulation?
A closed-cell structure offers excellent resistance to water vapor transmission, preventing moisture absorption. This ensures long-term thermal efficiency, guards against corrosion under insulation (CUI), and maintains physical structure integrity.
What is the thermal conductivity rating of this insulation material?
The material exhibits low thermal conductivity, measured at ≤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. This efficiently reduces thermal losses and saves energy.
What is the temperature range of the rubber-plastic insulation material?
This high-quality insulation is engineered to perform reliably across a wide operating temperature range from -50°C up to 110°C, making it highly versatile for heating and cooling applications.
Does this insulation material meet fire safety standards?
Yes, it achieves a Class 0 and Class 1 fire rating according to BS 476 Part 6 and 7 standards. It also meets the ASTM E 84 standard with a Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Index of 25/50, ensuring high fire safety compliance.
Is this product resistant to environmental factors like U.V. and ozone?
Absolutely. The insulation exhibits good resistance to U.V. radiation, weathering (tested under ASTM G23), ozone (tested under GB/T 7762-1987), and fungi growth (tested under ASTM 21), ensuring durability and a long service life outdoors and indoors.
What piping systems is this insulation best suited for?
It is primarily used for insulating chilled water pipes, condense pipes, air ducts, and hot-water pipes of air-conditioning systems. It is also suitable for central air-conditioning applications and general hot/cold medium piping.
