K Flex rubber sheet insulation is a standard, elastomeric nitrile rubber sheet made with top-quality foamed Buna-R. Buna-R is known for its low thermal conductivity, resistance to corrosion and for providing long-lasting insulation. While there are many uses for rubber foam insulation, this elastomeric sheet made by K Flex is specifically used to insulate large pipes and ducts in industrial and commercial settings. It can also be used for residential purposes.
Nitrile rubber is a closed-cell insulation that effectively prevents heat loss from pipes and ducts. With a low K-value, they help improve energy savings and reduce energy bills. When rubber foam insulation is used to insulate pipes and ducts they not only restrict heat loss or gain in the application, but also increases dew point which prevents condensation or sweating around pipes and ducts.
In addition, rubber pipe insulation does not support or promote the growth of fungi or mould. They offer effective fire insulation and have a Euroclass B rating. Plus, nitrile rubber sheets are very easy to install. They are flexible and lightweight. Since this continuous nitrile rubber insulation is manufactured as a one-meter-wide roll, they are quite easy to work with and install on large pipes and ducts.
K-Flex continuous nitrile rubber insulation comes in varying lengths. When you buy this rubber pipe insulation online from us, we cut it to lengths of 1m, 2m, 5m etc, so you spend only on the material that you need.
Ideally, this flexible duct insulation is used to insulate indoor pipes and ductwork, but it can also be used to insulate outdoor pipes if they are covered or clad with appropriate cladding material like PIB insulation. Plus, this nitrile rubber sheet can be used to insulate many pipes and ducts as it functions efficiently in temperatures between -165 °C* to +85 °C.
Installing Nitrile Rubber Insulation:
A full roll of continuous nitrile rubber sheets cab be anything from 8-20m 8m long. We cut these to your required lengths and deliver them to your doorstep or job site.
Nitrile rubber sheets are about 1m wide. They are installed around pipework and secured using foam tapes or adhesives like Aramcell 520.
Key Features:
- With a low thermal conductivity of 0.033 W/(m•K), they help maintain the temperature of the liquid flowing within pipes and ducts.
- Nitrile rubber insulation is ideal for insulating hot and cold water pipes and ducts.
- With a Euroclass B rating, they are fairly fire-resistant.
- Class O insulation. Meets the required building regulations
- They are specially made to insulate large pipes and ductwork in HVAC and plumbing applications.
- This rubber foam insulation sheet is resistant to most oils, acids and alkalis present ins an industrial setting.
- Rubber pipe insulation is easy to install and is environmentally friendly.
- Can be used to insulate cold or chilled pipes and ducts. Protect them from freezing over.
- Lightweight and flexible nitrile rubber insulation
Application:
- Nitrile sheet pipe insulation is ideal to insulate large pipes commonly found in industries or in a commercial environment. They are ideal for both hot and cold water pipe insulation.
- This flexible duct insulation is appropriately sized to give efficient thermal insulation to ductwork, of any shape or size.
- Ideal for use across projects.
- Largely used to insulate indoor pipes and ducts. Proper cladding will be required if used to insulate pipes outdoors.
