Specifications and features of insulation for pipes Energoflex

Energoflex insulation is an ideal solution if it is necessary to insulate or, on the contrary, protect communication systems such as pipelines and air ducts from overheating. The materials of these engineering structures also suffer from the negative impact of the environment, which leads to their destruction and malfunctions. A wide range of products and a variety of forms of release allows you to choose a quality insulation for pipes in each case.

The heat-insulating tube Energoflex is a thermal insulation material created by extrusion,At the next stage of production, high-pressure polyethylene is foamed using a butane-propane mixture, as a result of which an elastic pipe with a porous structure is obtained. Such micropores filled with air have high thermal insulation qualities:

• the product is resistant to high temperature amplitude - -40- + 95 degrees;
• has high flexibility and low weight;
• the material is immune to mechanical stress and is virtually not susceptible to damage due to its high strength;
• thermal insulation is resistant to aggressive gases and liquids; therefore, it is widely used for installation work that uses lime, concrete or cement mortars;

• Absolutely not absorbing water vapor;
• has moderate combustibility (G2);
• simultaneously with isolation solves the problem of structural noise;
• is an environmentally friendly material, so no protective clothing is required for installation.

It should be noted the maximum elasticity and durability of tubular products, they can serve for a long time - up to 25 years, which is also noted in the certificate of conformity with established standards and quality standards.

Not without its drawbacks - the material is susceptible to ultraviolet rays, therefore, for communications outside, there are models with a protective coating of a special polymer composition.

The advantages of thermal insulation Energoflex can be considered its technical characteristics, which allow long-term and high-quality operation. In addition, it can be noted that with the help of such materials it is possible to solve other important problems:

• pipeline icing in winter;
• with an external heating system or overheating of the ventilation - lack of heat;
• susceptibility of metal parts of structures to corrosion in the street.

Installation of these products is extremely simple and convenient due to the presence of self-adhesive layers and special longitudinal cuts. When laying does not require the creation of an auxiliary layer to protect the insulation from mechanical damage.

Pipe material has a length of 1-2 meters and a wall thickness of 6 to 20 mm.These products are packaged in rolls with a total length of 10 to 30 m.

Since Energoflex products represent several types of products - tubes, sheets and rolls, each type should be considered in detail to judge the possibilities of each material.

The base insulation is presented in the form of elastic hollow tubes with a cellular structure, with a wall thickness of 6 to 25 mm, a length of 1.2 or 2 m. The inner diameter of such cylinders is 15-42 mm.

The model with dimensions 42x9 mm and a length of 2 m is suitable not only for thermal insulation, but also for noise insulation of the internal pipeline and has the following advantages:

• safety of installation and use due to the fact that the composition does not contain chlorofluorocarbons;
• guaranteed absence of condensate causing corrosive processes;
• high level of noise absorption;
• economy in terms of electricity consumption;
• prevention of overheating and freezing of the carrier in cold and hot time;
• good thermal conductivity;
• light weight, easy installation.

The area of ​​use of this material is quite wide, it is:

• hot and cold water supply;
• sewage;
• heating;
• ventilation systems and air conditioning;
• pipeline main lines.

Cylinders with a length of 2 meters are characterized by high moisture resistance and durability. Each product has a barcode with the size of the material. The color of the products is mostly gray.

Under the Energoflex Super brand products are manufactured in the form of sheets with a thickness of 10, 13 and 20 mm. These materials are most effective for vapor and moisture insulation when a multilayer protection system is provided. Sheet products are more suitable for large diameter pipes.

Energoflex rolls are mainly used to insulate containers and tanks, suitable for large pipe sizes. The standard width is –1-1.5 m, the thickness is from 10 to 25 mm, the length of the cloths is from 10 to 20 m. The use in ventilation systems provides for the availability of materials with the marking “A”, which means an additional reflective layer.

A special category of products Super Protect is heat-insulating pipes for piping structures of heating systems and water supply, located inside the walls and floors of housing objects.

Product Features:

• products have a length of 10 m;
• pipe diameters can range from 15 to 35 mm;
• wall thickness - from 4 to 9 mm;
• thermal insulation operation is possible at a temperature range of -50- + 150 degrees.

The material is presented in two primary colors - red and blue, additional polymer protection significantly increases the insulation strength (by 50%), its compensating function is especially important when thermally expanding pipes, hot water supply systems and heating. For convenience, the products are equipped with technical cuts. This insulation is designed for 25 years of operation.

Energoflex Black Star is a series of products for thermal insulation of ventilation and air conditioning systems. Polyethylene, processed using a special technology, is characterized by high resistance to penetration of moisture and steam, therefore it serves as an excellent protection for the external parts of air conditioners located outside the house.

Other properties of tubes:

• resistance to the influence of aggressive formulations of working solutions;
• immunity to mechanical deformations;
• safety due to the absence of harmful substances;
• long operation.

Inside the tube have a smooth surface, so the products are easily installed on copper pipes without the use of talc. The diameter of products can vary from 6 to 28 mm, thickness - standard (6-9 mm).

In the product line there are also other popular models.

Tubes with a length of 2 m, with additional protection for use in outdoor conditions. The manufacturer indicates that this material tolerates ultraviolet radiation and has enhanced strength characteristics. At the same time, thermal insulation of copper pipes does not require the use of casings and special sealing tapes. The total service life of products - 16 years.

Insulation in the form of roll web (length 5-30 m, width 1.2 m). Foamed porous film is ideal for large pipe diameters, in addition, it is equipped with a self-adhesive layer that optimally adheres to metal surfaces. The product absorbs vibration and noise well. In the Duct Al model, an aluminum coating increases the insulation layer.

Special product to improve the acoustic characteristics of the premises. It is a tube with an internal toothed surface. The material, due to its high density, significantly reduces noise from both metal and plastic sewer pipes.The most popular product size is 110x13 mm (diameter and thickness). Installation of the tubular product is extremely simple, can be carried out in a short time, it differs in the minimum amount of waste.

The workflow is not too complicated, but requires the execution of instructions. You must first view the size table to find the material with the right diameter for working with copper or steel pipes (in different situations).

You will need a set of tools - a measuring tape, a knife, a pencil or a pen for marking, a block (a carpenter's tool for precise cutting, cutting), a hard brush, an Energoflex tape and glue.

If the pipeline has not yet been assembled, the following actions will be required:

• pipe product should be carefully pulled on the pipe;
• if there is not enough insulation length, another cylinder is used, which is connected to the first one with glue;
• heat insulation joints are glued with connecting tape.

When the pipeline is mounted, the heat-insulating cylinder is cut along the notch line, put on the pipe and treated with glue and tape.

The installation of Energoflex thermal insulation is so quick and easy. Moreover, it is durable protection and high quality service. The main thing is to act according to the instructions, and follow the important rules for combining all materials.
