AEROFLEX
tubes and sheets insulate and prevent condensation when
used in operating temperatures down to -57 °C (- 70
°F) and insulate against heat loss up to 125°
C ( 257 °F), Within these recommended operating temperatures,
it will not affect the thermal efficiency and water vapor
permeability of AEROFLEX is unaffected.
The
Closed Cell Structure protects against moisture, and eliminates
the need for a vapor barrier in most applications. However,
under severe condition of high humidity (90% RH up), high
temperature (32 °C up) and low ventilation such as
underground piping, "AEROCOAT" (Acrylic Emulsion
Paint) is recomended an additional vapor barrier coating.
AEROFLEXinsulation, made from high quality synthetic eiastomers,
has low density and closed cell structure. The products,
therefore, have a stable low K factor of 0.25-0.27 (at
50-90 °F mean temperature) which can save energy consumption
on any heating and cooling lines.
AEROFLEX
tube and sheet insulation has been specially compounded
to meet the ASTM Standard No. D 635. U L- 94 V, JIS Standard
No. K 6911 and other standards. The products have low
smoke density while burning, and unlike other thermoplastic
materials, AEROFLEX will not melt nor drip flaming balls;
therefore, it will not cause flame transfer.
The
high elasticity of AEROFLEX insulation minimizes vibrations
and resonance inchilled water and hot water pipelines
during operation.
The
flexibility and smooth surface of AEROFLEX offer a neat-finished
appearance even at jonts,tees,elbows,and crosses. No decorative
or protective coating is required for indoor and outdoor
installations.
The
flexibility of AEROFLEX enables quick and easy installation
on bent or irregular piping. Due to its low and stable
thermal conductivity, AEROFLEX requires a thinner wall
than other rigid insulations. Therefore, lesser space
is needed for installing AEROFLEX.
AEROFLEXcan be safely handled without causing skin irritation
and health hazards. It has superior resistance to
fungus growth, vermin or rodent attack, and other chemicals
such as acids and alkalies. These make AEROFLEX ideal
for protecting pipings from corrosion caused by atmospheric
agents and industrial arnbience.
