MAXFLEX FR Black Rubber Insulation Tube

MAXFLEX FR Black Rubber Insulation Tube is made from synthetic rubber with closed cell structure, extruded and heat-treated for expansion. It contains fire retardant additives meeting international standards, giving MAXFLEX FR air conditioning pipe insulation self-extinguishing, low smoke, and non-dripping properties.   MAXFLEX FR air conditioning pipe insulation stock Why Choose MAXFLEX FR Black Rubber Insulation? Safety is the Core: The heart of MAXFLEX FR Black Rubber Insulation is its superior fire retardant properties compared to regular rubber insulation. Passes international fire safety standards: Such as BS 476 Part 6 (Class 0) & 7 (Class 1), which are accepted standards in the construction industry. Retards fire spread: The insulation material is not flammable, preventing fire from spreading along pipes or ducts. Low Smoke & Toxicity: Reduces dense smoke formation, allowing for safer evacuation. Non-Dripping: Reduces the risk of fire spreading to other areas. Maximum Energy Saving Performance: With its closed-cell structure containing numerous small air bubbles, MAXFLEX FR Black Rubber Insulation has excellent insulating properties. Low Thermal Conductivity (-value): Can maintain constant pipe temperature, reducing energy loss in cooling and heating systems, helping you save on electricity costs significantly. Prevents heat and cold loss: Maintains efficiency of air conditioning (HVAC) and hot-cold water pipe systems, allowing them to operate at full capacity. Durable in All Conditions & Condensation Control Low water absorption: The closed-cell structure acts as a perfect barrier against moisture and water vapor penetration. Anti-Condensation: Reduces water droplet formation on pipe surfaces, which is a main cause of mold, dirt stains, and Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). Resistant to UV rays and weather: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, extending its lifespan. Flexible & Easy to Install The insulation material is highly flexible, easily bending to fit pipe shapes and various fittings, making installation quick and convenient, saving time and labor costs.     Recommended thickness table for MAXFLEX FR Black Rubber Insulation Tube   Maximum Ambient Temperature 28oC (82.4oF) , 75%RH , Dew Point 23.26oC Steel Pipe Size 15oC (59oF) 7oC (44.6oF) 2oC (35.6oF) -10oC (14oF) -18oC (0.4oF) > 1″ IPS (35 mm.) 9 13 19 25 32 1-1/4″ IPS – 2-1/2″ IPS (42 – 73 mm) 9 19 19 32 38 3″ IPS – 6″ IPS (89 – 168mm) 9 19 25 32 38 8″ IPD – 12″ IPS (219 – 324 mm) 13 19 25 32 38   Maximum Ambient Temperature 32oC (86oF) , 75%RH , Dew Point 27.16oC Steel Pipe Size 15oC (59oF) 7oC (44.6oF) 2oC (35.6oF) -10oC (14oF) -18oC (0.4oF) > 1″ IPS (35 mm.) 13 19 19 25 32 1-1/4″ IPS – 2-1/2″ IPS (42 – 73 mm) 13 19 25 32 38 3″ IPS – 6″ IPS (89 – 168mm) 13 19 25 32 38 8″ IPD – 12″ IPS (219 – 324 mm) 13 25 25 38 50     Maximum Ambient Temperature 35oC (95oF) , 80%RH , Dew Point 31.2oC Steel Pipe Size 15oC (59oF) 7oC (44.6oF) 2oC (35.6oF) -10oC (14oF) -18oC (0.4oF) > 1″ IPS (35 mm.) 19 25 32 38 50 1-1/4″ IPS – 2-1/2″ IPS (42 – 73 mm) 19 32 32 38 50 3″ IPS – 6″ IPS (89 – 168mm) 25 32 38 50 56 8″ IPD – 12″ IPS (219 – 324 mm) 25 38 38 50 59   Maximum Ambient Temperature 35oC (95oF) , 85%RH , Dew Point 31.7oC Steel Pipe Size 15oC (59oF) 7oC (44.6oF) 2oC (35.6oF) -10oC (14oF) -18oC (0.4oF) > 1″ IPS (35 mm.) 25 25 32 38 50 1-1/4″ IPS – 2-1/2″ IPS (42 – 73 mm) 25 32 38 50 53 3″ IPS – 6″ IPS (89 – 168mm) 25 38 50 56 63 8″ IPD – 12″ IPS (219 – 324 mm) 32 50 50 63 75     Maximum Ambient Temperature 35oC (95oF) , 90%RH , Dew Point 32.2oC Steel Pipe Size 15oC (59oF) 7oC (44.6oF) 2oC (35.6oF) -10oC (14oF) -18oC (0.4oF) > 1″ IPS (35 mm.) 25 38 38 56 59 1-1/4″ IPS – 2-1/2″ IPS (42 – 73 mm) 32 50 50 63 69 3″ IPS – 6″ IPS (89 – 168mm) 38 53 53 75 84 8″ IPD – 12″ IPS (219 – 324 mm) 38 56 59 88 100   Maximum Ambient Temperature 38oC (100.4oF) , 90%RH , Dew Point 35.8oC Steel Pipe Size 15oC (59oF) 7oC (44.6oF) 2oC (35.6oF) -10oC (14oF) -18oC (0.4oF) > 1″ IPS (35 mm.) 50 50 59 75 94 1-1/4″ IPS – 2-1/2″ IPS (42 – 73 mm) 50 59 69 88 100 3″ IPS – 6″ IPS (89 – 168mm) 56 69 84 100 125 8″ IPD – 12″ IPS (219 – 324 mm) 63 84 100 125 138   Maximum Ambient Temperature 45oC (114oF) , 90%RH , Dew Point 43.0oC Steel Pipe Size 15oC (59oF) 7oC (44.6oF) 2oC (35.6oF) -10oC (14oF) -18oC (0.4oF) > 1″ IPS (35 mm.) 50 56 63 75 100 1-1/4″ IPS – 2-1/2″ IPS (42 – 73 mm) 56 63 69 88 125 3″ IPS – 6″ IPS (89 – 168mm) 63 75 84 100 138 8″ IPD – 12″ IPS (219 – 324 mm) 69 84 100 125 150   MAXFLEX FR Black Rubber Air Conditioning Pipe Insulation Properties Table Physical Properties MAXFLEX FR TEST METHOD Material EPDM or NBR Blend with additive TGA / DSC Cell Structure Closed Cell Structure – Flexibility Excellent – Density 3 – 6 lbs/ft3 (48 – 96 kg/m3) ASTM D1667 Service Temperature -57oC – 125oC -70oF – 257oF Can withstand temperature as high as 125 oC Maxflex become hard at -57oC But can be use even at -200oC ASTM C411 Ozone & UV Resistance No Crack ASTM D1171 & ASTM G154 Water Absorption ≤ 1.5% by weight ≤ 0.05% by volume ASTM D1056 ASTM C209 Water Vapor Diffusion Resistance (µ Value) µ ≥ 12,000 EN 12086 DIN 52615 Water Vapor Permeability (g/Pa.s.m) ≤ 0.10 perm-in (≤1.15 x 10-10) ASTM E96 Anti Microbial Fungi Resistance Compliance with requirement ASTM E2180 ASTM G21 Heat Stability at 200oF (7 Days) (% Shrinkage) ≤ 3.5% Respectively ASTM C534 Fire Performance (Fire Retardant) Class V-0 Self-Extinguishing B2 0,0,0,5 Compliance with requirement UL 94 ASTM D635 DIN 4102 AS 1530.3 NFPA 90A & NFPA 90B Fire Index Index 5.3 EMPA SWISSI Flame spread / Smoke Developed 25 / 50 ASTM E84 Surface Spread of flame Class 1 BS476 Part 7 Fire Propagation – Total Index of Performance (I) – Sub Index (i1) Class 0 ‹ 12 ‹ 6 BA476 Part 6 Smoke Toxicity – Smoke Density Satisfies max allowable concentration for the following combustion gases CO, HCI , HF , HBr , HCN , Nox , SO2 Dm ≤ 100 ISO 5659-2:2017 RoHs I & II Test Compliance with requirement International Marine Organization (IMO) Nitrosamine Content Not detected BS EN 12868 Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) – CFCs, HCFCs Not detected USEP A5021A / 8260C Volatile Organic Chemical Emission (VOCs) Not detected CDPH EHLB STANDARD METHOD V1.2 and VOC Emission Test After 14 Day Formaldehyde Content Not Detected ISO 17226-1 Asbestos Dust & Fiber Not Detected Not Detected EPA600/R Odour Test at 23oC , 40oC Grade 1.5 , Grade 2.0 FLTM BO 131-03 Corrosion (Copper , Stainless Steel) Non Corrosive DIN 1988 Sound Absorption Coefficient 0.65 NRC ASTM C423 Noise Reduction Coefficient Maximum 36.3 dB(A) DIN 52219 (19 mm thickness)
