Although closed-cell elastomeric foam insulation has been commercially available since the 1950s, some confusion still exists about the performance properties and benefits of this insulation type. That said, closed-cell elastomeric…
Read MoreOne of the greatest threats, sources of system failure, and maintenance/replacement costs to mechanical systems is corrosion to the metallic surfaces of piping and equipment.
Read More HVAC refrigerant pipe insulation is a critical component of a well-designed refrigeration system to achieve long-term performance and life cycle costs for building owners. Refrigeration systems are demanding and…

Plenum spaces in buildings are designed to discreetly house building systems such as HVAC equipment & return airflow, pipe runs, and digital cables. Although air plenums are typically out-of-sight, typically…
Read MoreA common failure point of mechanical insulation on cold (below-ambient) piping systems is at the hanger locations due to compression of insulation subjected to inadequate support or no insulation at…
Read MoreCertain HVAC, refrigeration and plumbing pipe insulation applications require more than a single layer of Aeroflex® EPDM flexible elastomeric insulation to control condensation in demanding conditions such as a cold…
