Product Details

Micro-Flex

Product Long Description
Â鶹ֱ²¥appÌýMicro-Flex®Ìýis a large diameter pipe and tank wrap that provides an alternative solution to pre-formed insulation. Our manufacturing process yields a fiber orientation that enhances both the compressive strength and thermal performance of the final product when compared to conventional pipe and tank insulation. Micro-Flex rolls can be cut to size on-the-job and are available with FSK, AP, or Ultra vapor retarder facing. It provides a single solution to a variety of field applications for the contractor and distributer.

Features

Operating Temperature Limits - 0°F to 850°F (-18°C to 454°C)*

Flexible & Compression-resistant -The unique fiber manufacturing process results in interconnected glass fibers, creating a continuous insulation mat. There are no segments that are prone to delaminate and fall out during handling and fabrication.Ìý

Conforms Around Various Diameters and Shapes -ÌýDue to the solid mass of fibers rather than cut-and-glued segments, even small diameter vessels can be wrapped without the worry of the “stop-sign effect.â€Ìý

Low Thermal Conductivity -ÌýThe unique, uniform fiber orientation and a variety of thicknesses provide a dependable thermal conductivity (“kâ€) of .24 Btu•in/(hr•ft2 •°F) at 75°F mean temperature (.035 W/m•°C at 24°C).Ìý

Superior Strength -ÌýThe unique fiber manufacturing process results in a highly durable product that exhibits excellent handling properties during shipping and installation.Ìý

Easy to Apply -ÌýFor most applications, only a ruler, knife, 3- or 4-inch (76 mm or 102 mm) wide AP or FSK pressure-sensitive tape and stapler are required.Ìý

Shot-Free Glass Fibers -ÌýDue to the advanced fiber-manufacturing process and latest advances in binder technology, Micro-Flex can stand up to the rigors of heavy vibration.Ìý

Long Lasting -The continuous fiber blanket remains intact compared to the 4-inch (102 mm) wide strips of conventional pipe and tank insulation, which tend to loosen or fall out over time when the adhesive dries out.
