Specifications
Aeroflex Widely Used to Save Energy and Prevent Condensation and here is some specifications :
AEROFLEX Products & Accessories standard is an EPDM based closed cell light weight elastomeric thermal insulation specially formulated to meet 25/50 ASTM E 84, Class V-0 UL 94 , Class 5.3 EMPA (Switzerland), IMO (International Marine Organization) and other international fire standards.
Aeroflex standard sheet and tube elastomeric thermal insulation are widely used to save energy and prevent condensation problem on chilled water and refrigeration systems. They also efficiently reduce heat loss on hot water plumbing, liquid heating and dual temperature piping.

NOTE:
* Figures show the average values obtained by world’s well-known and recognized testing institutes.
** According to ASTM C 534 : The density of this type of insulation material is not a performance property, so density is for reference purpose only.
Aeroflex has wide range of thickness from 6mm up to 100mm and ID from 6mm up to 273mm, making insulation skin and volume ratio much varied from item to item, in which thicker insulation results in lower density, whereas thinner insulation results in higher density. Wall thickness below 32mm, the density is 48-80 kg/m3, while wall thickness above 32mm, the density ≥ 40 kg/m3.
*** At temp. under – 57 ˚C, AEROFLEX becomes hard but it does not affect thermal conductivity nor water vapor permeability. For heating applications, AEROFLEX can stand upto +125 ˚C continuously, and the adhesive up to +100 ˚C.

***** It is reported that Nitrosamin is harmful to human health even during storage. No Nitrosamin compound was detected in AEROFLEX.
