Description
INSUL-SHEET® insulation is an environmentally friendly, CFC-free, flexible elastomeric thermal insulation. It is black in color and supplied as flat sheets (36" x 48") in standard thicknesses of 1/8" thru 2". It is supplied skin two sides in 1/4” and above. INSUL-SHEET® is also available in rolls, with a standard roll width of 48". INSUL-SHEET® is non-porous, non-fibrous and resists mold growth. The Bio-Guard™ antimicrobial system provides added protection against mold, fungal and bacterial growth. The active ingredient in Bio-Guard™ is registered with the EPA.
Applications
INSUL-SHEET® insulation is used to retard heat gain and prevent condensation or frost formation on cold equipment, tanks, vessels, ducts, or large O.D. pipes. It also effectively retards heat loss when used on hot equipment, ducts, or large pipes. INSUL-SHEET® can be used as duct covering. INSUL-SHEET® is recommended for applications ranging from -297°F to 220°F (-182°C to 104°C) when used as pipe insulation where only the seams and butt joints are glued. On full adhesion applications, the upper limit is 200°F (93°C).
INSUL-SHEET® has a very tough skin which withstands tearing, rough handling, and severe environmental conditions, and yet is quite flexible for easy installation. INSUL-SHEET® has superior cold weather flexibility.
INSUL-SHEET® thickness has been calculated to control condensation on cold surfaces. Refer to the Submittal Sheet for specific recommendations.
Installation
When INSUL-SHEET® Insulation is applied to ductwork and equipment, use a 100% coverage of an approved contact adhesive. With a contact adhesive, both surfaces to be joined should be coated and then joined after the adhesive is dry to the touch. Compression joints with adhesive applied should be used on all butt edges. INSUL-SHEET® is also available with pre-applied pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) with easy to use release liner. Contact Nomaco K-FLEX for specific installation instructions.
Outdoor Applications
For optimum performance, outdoor applications require R-374 Protective Coating or other recommended protective coating, cladding or jacketing. For more detailed information refer to the Installation Guides.
Resistance to Moisture Vapor Flow
The closed-cell structure and unique formulation of INSUL-SHEET® effectively retards the flow of moisture vapor, and is considered a low transmittance vapor retarder. For most indoor applications, INSUL-SHEET® needs no additional protection.
Additional vapor barrier protection may be necessary for INSUL-SHEET® when installed on low temperature surfaces that are exposed to continuous high humidity.
Flame and Smoke Rating
INSUL-SHEET® Insulation in wall thicknesses of 1" (25 mm) and below has a flame spread rating of 25 or less and a smoke development rating of 50 or less as tested by ASTM E 84 Method of Testing entitled: “Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials.”
INSUL-SHEET® Insulation is acceptable for use in duct/plenum applications meeting the requirements of NFPA 90A/B.
Numerical flammability ratings alone may not define the performance of products under actual fire conditions. They are provided only for use in the selection of products to meet limits specified, when compared to a known standard.
