Specifications
comply with ASTM C534-88.
* Figures show
the average values obtained by the world well-known testing institutes.
** Tested according
to DIN, JIS, ASTM and others.
*** Average
density of insulation thickness over 20 mm.
**** At temp.
under -57 °C AEROFLEX becomes hard,
but it does not affect thermal conductivity nor water vapor permeability.
In the heating applications AEROFLEX can stand +125 °C
continuously, and the adhesive up to +100 °C.
***** Water
vapor permeability tests were done under test method ASTM E96 dehydrate
test method at 37.8 °C.
****** IMO
: International Maritime Organization
******* It
is reported that Nitrosamin is harmful to human health even during storage.
No Nitrosamin compound was detected in AEROFLEX.
