Insulate means to prevent the passage of heat, electricity, or sound by surrounding the area of concern with a non-conductive material. Thermal insulation prevents the transfer of heat because it…
We are often asked for the shelf life of various AEROFLEX EPDM™ insulation and accessories. For all products, the stated shelf life is dependent on product storage. Learn More
This post will break down the key differences between two types of closed cell elastomeric foam insulation - EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) insulation and NBR/PVC (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber/Polyvinyl Chloride).…
Flexible elastomeric pipe insulation has been available in the United States since the early 1950s. It is also known as closed cell elastomeric insulation, cellular foam insulation, closed cell elastomeric…
Insulation thickness determines success or failure when insulating below-ambient (cold) piping & equipment systems. For under-insulated systems, condensation will build up on the insulation surface and eventually cascade over building…
Chilled water systems (CHW) serve a pivotal role in delivering conditioned air to building spaces and ultimately contributing to occupant comfort in buildings. It is estimated that 15%-20% of all…
Aerofix patented insulated pipe supports provide seamless, EPDM thermal performance and zero-perm moisture resistance without worries of insulation compression and thermal bridging at hanger locations. Learn More
What is HVAC pipe insulation and why is it important? This post will provide a summary of the performance attributes to look for when choosing the best HVAC pipe insulation…
A common question that we receive about our EPDM elastomeric rubber is "what is its density?" According to ASTM C534 “Standard Specification for Preformed Flexible Elastomeric Cellular Thermal Insulation in…
The need for UV resistant refrigerant line insulation is common for installations on building exteriors, such as rooftops, to convey refrigerants between large roof-top HVAC systems and interior equipment to…
