Commercial and industrial refrigeration systems (piping, fittings, and vessels) typically operate in the 35°F to -100°F range. These continuous service temperatures are typically below-ambient and under constant threat of condensation…
Thermal insulation for commercial and industrial mechanical systems (piping, ducts & equipment), also known as mechanical insulation, serves to reduce heat transfer between one surface and another or a surface…
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
Closed cell elastomeric insulation has been commercially available in the United States since the 1950s. It is also commonly known as: Closed cell elastomeric thermal insulation Closed cell elastomeric rubber…
