GULF O FLEX® XLPE
With a thin layer of alupet, this closed cell elastomeric insulation is designed for difficult environments in the long term. With its presence on various applications, XLPE is a passive solution to energy efficiency. No need to actively maintain its performance, with its thin layer and lightweight properties, it can withstand high pressure environments. This makes it an asset for thermal and acoustic insulation.
Key Features
UV Resistant
Guaranteed to last over 10,000 hours with no crack on surface
Sustainable
Helps systems utilize less energy, leading to less greenhouse gas emissions. CFC and HCFC free, which means they have 0 ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential)
Fire Resistant
This material is self-extinguishing and has low smoke emission, slowing down or preventing the spread of fire
Easy Installation
With its aluminum foil lamination, applying insulation is quick and easy. Plus, seamlessly cut, bend, apply and seal the material for various purposes, saving time and cost
Key Details
Gulf O Flex® is Flexible Elastomeric Foam made of Nitrile Butadine Rubber, from thickness 6 mm to 50 mm both in sheet (with or without self-adhesive) and in tube forms. The insulation is then finished with factory applied Alu-Clad facing as a finish product, which can be used for external applications. The facing will protect the insulation from UV rays and minor mechanical damages.
It’s resistance to moisture vapor, mold and mildew growth ensures that its applications have a long lifespan, less downtime and continuing efficiency.
Available with or without self-adhesive application.
XLPE is primarily used for:
Hot and cold-water plumbing:
Pipework requires insulation to maintain required temperatures. It traps heat for heating systems and slows freezing of pipes for cooling systems.
HVAC ducts:
As many buildings are airtight and rely on filtered air, the ductwork needs to be insulated to ensure it continues to remove pollutants.
Refrigeration lines:
Insulation prevents condensation through blocking water vapor. As the cells are tightly packed in, it prevents a lot from going through.
It’s primarily used in residential & commercial properties, construction, oil & gas, and automative industries.
