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…
Refrigerant pipe insulation is a critical component of refrigeration systems. Refrigeration systems, also known as below-ambient, vary by application (commercial and industrial), temperature requirements (high & low), refrigerant types (traditional…
Closed cell elastomeric insulation, also known as rubber, has been commercially available for almost 70 years. It’s commonly specified to insulate below-ambient (cold) mechanical systems such as HVAC, VRF/VRV, refrigeration,…
The evolution of thermal insulation dates back to prehistoric times when people gathered natural materials to insulate their shelters and clothing. It was not until the industrial revolution of the…
Flexible elastomeric pipe insulation has been available in the United States since the early 1950s. Essentially, flexible elastomeric pipe insulation is a synthetic rubber composed of closed-cell structure available in…
What do you need to look for in the best AC refrigerant line pipe insulation for your client’s project? HVAC systems utilize piping to transfer cool/cold and warm/hot fluids to…
The most important contributions that plumbing equipment insulation can make to domestic water equipment systems are energy conservation and condensation control. Plumbing equipment insulation typically is installed on the following…
