Provide Exterior Protection and Meet Mandatory Energy Codes on Exterior Cellular Foam Insulation Applications
Aeroflex EPDM flexible closed-cell elastomeric insulation, also known as cellular foam, is inherently UV-resistant. Unlike traditional nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)/PVC cellular foam rubber products, the application of a supplemental coating is not required to protect EPDM insulation from UV degradation for outdoor applications.
Learn MoreThe Critical Role of Special Purpose Contact Adhesives in Mechanical Insulation Applications
Adhesives specified for installation of flexible closed-cell elastomeric foam insulation on piping, duct, and other-equipment in HVAC, refrigeration and plumbing systems play an integral role in the success and the longevity of insulation systems.
Learn MoreChemical Polarity of Closed-Cell Elastomeric Foam Insulation
Closed-cell structured elastomeric foam insulation is widely recognized for its consistent performance managing thermal heat gain/loss and preventing condensation. But did you know that there are actually two different types of closed-cell elastomeric foam rubber used in the manufacture of insulation?
Learn MoreBest Practices For Direct Burial Of AEROFLEX® EPDM™ Insulation
When flexible closed-cell elastomeric thermal pipe insulation is considered for a direct-bury application, Aeroflex USA recommends the best practice of encasing Aeroflex EPDM pipe insulation in a protective conduit such as properly sealed PVC pipe, corrugated drainpipe or poured concrete for long-term service.
