CLOSED CELL TUBING AND SHEET INSULATION MATERIAL
DESCRIPTION
Superlon is a flexible and light weight elastometric nitrile foam material designed for thermal insulation. SUPERLON insulation is black in colour and is available either in tubing or sheet form. The extruded flexible tubing is specially designed to fit the standard diameters of steel and copper pipes. Sheets are available in standard precut sizes or in rolls.
USES
Superlon's expanded closed cell structure provides an efficient vapour barrier for the prevention of condensation or frost formation on cooling systems, chilled water and refrigeration lines.
Superlon also retards heat loss for hot water plumbing and heating, dual temperature piping and solar systems. It protects pipes against corrosion and acts as a vibration damper.
Superlon's inherent flexibility makes it ideally suited to the insulation of large surface areas such as tanks, irregularly shaped vessel, air-ducts and large diameter pipes.
CHARACTERISTICS & ADVANTAGES
Low thermal conductivity (0,034 W/mK ) which makes it highly efficient and effective in the insulation of cooling or heating systems.
The thermal blister closed cell structure forms an impermeable layer which is in itself a good vapour barrier.
It is suitable for application within
the temperature range of - 40 deg C to + 105 deg C.
The material has been specially compounded to be self extinguishing in nature.
Superlon has excellent ozone and ultraviolet resistance.
It is CFC, asbestos, chlorine and fibre free and does not cause skin allergies.
It is also inert to most chemical agents and neutral to pipe metals.
The extreme flexibility of the material makes installation fast, easy and economical.
It is able to withstand tearing, rough handling and severe site conditions.
Much lesser space is needed for Superlon as a thinner wall is required due to its low K value as compared to other types of insulation.
The smooth surface of Superlon material gives the finished installation a neat and aesthetic appearance. No coating is necessary on most indoor installations.
