Description
K-FLEX INSUL-TUBE is a high-performance, flexible elastomeric foam insulation designed for thermal efficiency and condensation control in various applications. Composed of a NBR/PVC-based closed-cell structure, it effectively minimizes energy loss by providing consistent thermal resistance. This structure also serves as an efficient moisture barrier, preventing condensation and reducing the risk of mold or mildew development.
A notable feature of K-FLEX INSUL-TUBE is its incorporation of an EPA-registered antimicrobial agent, offering enhanced protection against mold, fungal, and bacterial growth. This built-in defense mechanism ensures a healthier environment, particularly in settings where air quality is paramount. Additionally, the product holds the UL GREENGUARD Gold Certification, signifying its compliance with stringent standards for low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, thereby contributing to improved indoor air quality.
The insulation material is environmentally friendly, as it is free from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and other harmful substances. This eco-conscious composition aligns with sustainable building practices and reduces the environmental impact of insulation projects. Moreover, K-FLEX INSUL-TUBE has been tested for UV and weather resistance, passing QUV chamber tests, which makes it suitable for outdoor applications when protected with an approved K-FLEX coating or cladding.
K-FLEX INSUL-TUBE is approved by Factory Mutual for its key physical properties, ensuring reliability and performance in various industrial and commercial applications. Its operating temperature range spans from -297°F (-183°C) to +220°F (+104°C), accommodating a wide array of thermal insulation needs. The product also demonstrates excellent fire safety characteristics, achieving a flame spread/smoke development rating of <25/50 per ASTM E84 standards.
