Elastomeric Foam Insulation – The protective and proficient one
Elastomeric Foam Insulation – The protective and proficient one
Elastomeric foam insulation is the perfect thing used worldwide to keep the piping and wiring safe from corrosion under insulation or “CUI”. Composed of a closed-cell structure & available in different types of factory-based produced tubes, rolls, and sheets, this insulation feature a smooth surface that perfectly works as a built-in vapor retarder. Elastomeric insulation is relatively less prone to damages, cracks, and material loss because of its highly foamy flexible nature. They are comparatively durable and more reliable than rigid insulations like cellular glass, phenolic foam, and polysio. Elastomeric insulation usually named closed cell-elastomeric foam insulation is also known as refrigerant and plumbing pipe insulation because it is commonly used for refrigerators, air conditioners, and similar items.
This insulation is most preferred due to its exceptional quality of controlling condensation on cold mechanical systems. Piping and equipment can be easily protected from corrosion inside insulation through this type of coverage due to its closed-cell structure, low water vapor penetrability, and built-in qualities like vapor retarder. Water, water vapors, sogginess, and moisture directly attack expensive mechanical systems by penetrating the insulations but elastomeric insulation is not penetrable and is an effective option to keep piping secure from corrosion. Unlike other types of insulations, this one doesn’t lose its thermal efficiency when comes in contact with water vapors or moisture.
Fiberglass Insulation -- The cheaper yet effective one
If you are looking for one of the most least expensive and affordable insulation solutions, there is nothing better than fiberglass insulation. In every aspect, this is one of the easiest and approachable ways to insulate the piping and mechanical systems. It is very easy to install but a requirement of a proper professional is necessary. As it is made up of sand and recycled glass, fiberglass insulation is not too flammable. It doesn’t catch fire easily thus securing all your circuits and properties from fire hazards. It is efficient to slow down the spread of heat and cold by trapping down the air. To keep the home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, this fiberglass insulation is the best thing you can opt for. It increases efficiency and reduces the noise effect.
It is highly moisture resistant and prevents moisture from deteriorating the conducting systems and mechanical systems. Retaining the heat and keeping the moisture out of the attacking position can be easily done through this insulation. Fiberglass insulation is made up of renewable resources and biodegradable materials. That’s why it is eco-friendly and helps you reduce the ecological footprint to a larger extent.
