Product Description
AEROFLEX Closed Cell Tube and Sheet Insulation is a flexible, closed cell and lightweight elastomeric material designed for insulating liquid cooling and heating lines. The closed cell structure of Aeroflex provides many advantages over most rigid insulations for cooling and heating lines, such as:
A: moisture & vapor resistance without using additional vapor barriers.
B: stable thermal conductivity (K. value) during service, due to its dense surface skins and closed cell characteristics.
C：outstanding ultraviolet and weather resistance.
AEROFLEX is an ideal insulation for frost control on cold water plumbing. It prevents heat gain and condensation problems on chilled water and refrigerant pipelines, and it also prevents heat loss from hot water plumbing, liquid and dual temperature piping.
AEROFLEX closed cell elastomeric thermal insulation
Aeroflex closed cell insulation, made of EPDM as its main raw material, is easily installed to pipe or tubing. The factory-applied coating of talcum powder on the thick and smooth inner skin helps facilitate and speed up preassembly line.

Product Feature
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 to125°C (257°F). Within these recommended operating temperatures, it will not affect the thermal efficiency and water vapor permeability of Aeroflex.
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℃ up) and low ventilation such as underground piping, “AEROCOAT”(Acrylic Emulsion Paint) is recommended for use as additional vapor barrier coating.
Aeroflex insulation, made from high quality synthetic elastomers, 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 have been specially compounded to meet the ASTM Standard No. D 635, UL-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 minimize the vibrations and resonance of chilled water and hot water pipelines during operation.
The flexibility and smooth surface of Aeroflex offer neat-finished appearance even at joints, tees, elbows and crosses. No decorative or protective coating is required for both indoor and outdoor installations.
The flexibility of Aeroflex enables quick and easy installation 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 installation of Aerofle.
AEROFLEX can be safely handled without causing skin irritations and health hazard. 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 piping from corrosion caused by atmospheric agents and industrial ambience.
