Consumer properties
The insulation is made of synthetic rubber. It may contain various additives that change the technical characteristics of the material. For example, the ST model has proven itself equally well in the arrangement of engineering systems both in ordinary residential premises and in industrial facilities.
All materials have a porous structure with small closed cells, thereby reducing the thermal conductivity and vapor permeability of the material. Also, pipe insulation has a wide range of operating temperatures. It is durable and meets the requirements of fire and sanitary safety.
In addition, K Flex insulation is acid-neutral and does not absorb moisture, thus providing reliable pipe corrosion protection.
Technological advantages
Of the technological advantages, the flexibility of the material should be emphasized. This property allows you to mount insulation on any type of surface, even the most complex ones. Regardless of the type of material in question, be it ST or another model, clamps and unnecessary fasteners are not required to fix the finish.
The insulation adheres tightly to the surface of the pipes, creating an airtight seal and preventing thermal energy leakage. The average service life of the material is 25 years.
Assigning insulation models
The K-Flex product line includes the following brands of thermal insulation materials:
- ST and ST / SK - for finishing surfaces with negative and positive temperatures;
- ECO - for the isolation of engineering systems in rooms with increased safety requirements;
- ST DUCT - for work with ventilation systems;
- ST FRIGO - for insulation of components of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment;
- SOLAR HT - for finishing surfaces with positive temperatures;
- AIR - for sound and heat insulation of ventilation systems;
- EC-H ROLLS - for insulation of heating and water supply pipes, as well as air conditioning systems.
Material abilities
Each of the listed materials has its own unique performance properties and is intended for use in a specific temperature range. For the purpose of arranging heat supply complexes, it is best to use products of the ST, ST / SK, ECO and SOLAR HT models.
The first two brands can withstand temperatures up to 104-116 ° C heat. ECO remains operational when heated up to 150 ° С, and SOLAR HT - up to 175 ° С. The rest of the models, with the exception of the EC-H ROLLS, will not withstand the stress associated with high temperatures.

Professional foam synthetic rubber insulation systems were developed and marketed by Armstrong World Industries for the first time in the world. In 2000, Armstrong's thermal insulation division was reorganized into an independent company Armacell (Armaflex brand).
Advantages of foam rubber insulation:
• increased steam and water resistance; • elasticity in a wide temperature range; • low thermal conductivity; • the ability to self-extinguish in case of fire; • high resistance to microorganisms, mold, weather conditions. Depending on the target area of application, foamed rubbers are improved certain properties.
An interesting product, foamed rubber, is beginning to be popular on the market of thermal insulation materials. It is a closed cell structure product. Due to the absence of emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere, it can be considered safe for humans. Environmental friendliness allows you to significantly expand the scope. - Read more on FB.ru: https://fb.ru/article/288315/vspenennyiy-kauchuk-informatsiya-o-maloizvestnoy-no-effektivnoy-teploizolyatsii

ECO insulation is designed for use in kindergartens, schools, canteens and other institutions where special hygienic requirements are imposed on the quality of building materials.
Installation of heaters K Flex
Before fixing the thermal insulation, the surface to be treated must be cleaned of traces of dirt. This is done using a cleaner. In the case of insulating metal parts, it is also necessary to get rid of corrosion. The thermal insulation is fixed to the surface with K-Flex glue. It is thoroughly stirred before use, and the rest of the time is kept in tightly closed containers. Cured glue can be thinned with K-Flex to make it runny.
To apply the adhesive, a brush with stiff short bristles is used. First, the reverse side of the ST insulation or another brand is lubricated with glue, and only then the surface of the pipes. The composition is applied in one continuous uniform layer. It is important that no threads form during this process. When the glue dries, the insulation is pressed tightly to the surface to be treated. At the same time, it is undesirable to stretch the material; it is better to glue it with light compression.
Work is permitted only on disconnected systems. It is allowed to turn on the system only 36 hours after the installation of the thermal insulation: during this time, the glue has time to dry.
Manufacturer
Materials for thermal insulation under the K-FLEX brand are produced by the international company IK Insulation Group, which occupies a leading position among the producers of thermal insulation based on foamed rubber.
