FLEXCRAFT® PE Foam Insulation is a polyethylene-based closed-cell foam insulation, conforming to ASTM C1427 standards. This eco-friendly solution sets itself apart through its absence of CFC’s, HFC’s, HCFC’s, PBDE’s, formaldehyde, and fibers, thereby ensuring optimal ecological compatibility. FLEXCRAFT® PE Foam Insulation is a halogen-free insulation system, providing unparalleled thermal, physical, and chemical resistance properties. It possesses impressively low thermal conductivity, coupled with minimal water absorption and exceptional water vapor permeability values, Manufactured within a North American ISO 90001: 2008-certified facility. Recommended as thermal insulation solution for diverse residential, commercial & industrial applications. mitigates heat gain / loss while preventing condensation in below-ambient scenarios, such as cold-water plumbing, chilled water systems, and industrial process lines. Retards heat loss in medium and hot temperature systems including hot water plumbing. Additionally, it offers the valuable advantage of extending the amount of time it takes for pipes to freeze. Services temperatures from -200˚F (-129˚C) to +200˚F (93˚C). In buried applications, FLEXCRAFT® PE Foam Insulation is a reliable choice when installed above the water table. However, when lines are positioned below the water table, a conduit encasement is required. This protective measure shields the insulation from potential issues arising due to ground water intrusion and compaction, ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of the system. FLEXCRAFT® fire-resistant properties, in wall thicknesses of 1” (25mm) and below is per ASTM E84, material achieves a flame spread rating of 25 or lower and a smoke development rating of 50 or lower. It is essential to recognize that while numerical flammability ratings offer valuable insights into the material’s fire behavior, they might not entirely reflect its performance under actual fire conditions. When considering fire protection for specific applications, additional factors and testing procedures should be considered to ensure adequate fire safety measures. Due to its closed cell structure and unique formulation, FLEXCRAFT® PE Foam Insulation inherently exhibits resistance to moisture vapor intrusion. In most indoor applications, product demonstrates sufficient resistance, rendering additional protection unnecessary. However, when utilized in cold systems within high humidity environments, additional vapor barrier protection may be warranted. This supplementary measure ensures optimal performance and longevity in such conditions. FLEXCRAFT® demonstrates superior versatility, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. However, when utilized in outdoor settings, specific considerations and measures must be observed to ensure optimal performance. For instances where product is exposed to UV radiation, such as rooftop applications, it is imperative to protect the insulation with an approved coating or jacket. This protective layer serves to shield the material from the potentially detrimental effects of UV exposure, safeguarding its structural integrity and insulating properties. During the installation of outdoor insulation, strict adherence to all relevant state and local code requirements is required. Where allowed, the application of coatings or jackets to insulation should be performed immediately after installation. This rapid implementation minimizes the risk of melting, which can result from concentrated light exposure near reflective surfaces. By promptly applying these protective layers, potential issues related to intense heat can be effectively mitigated. The installation of FLEXCRAFT® PE Foam Insulation demands adherence to specific technical parameters for optimal performance. Product boasts flexibility, even in low-temperature environments, while demonstrating outstanding durability. Its resilient skin resists tearing from handling and environmental conditions. It’s lightweight properties and smooth inner surface contributes to an efficient installation process.
