Our Products
CRYOFLEX™, a closed-cell polyethylene foam, is supplied in block, sheet, spiral-formed tube, and extruded tube forms. It is a new insulation solution for applications that require flexibility in a cold environment.
CRYOFLEX™ provides improved handling during installation and field fabrications using single seam clam shell application in standard pipe diameters.
Applications
CRYOFLEX™ is used to insulate industrial refrigeration systems. Its flexible, small, closed-cell features offer improved thermal conductivity and low moisture absorption and permeability.
Designed for multilayered applications, CRYOFLEX™ provides the ability to build wall thicknesses to 6" while avoiding the waste generated from typical large block fabrications. It also reduces the number of longitudinal seams, therefore allowing fewer paths for water ingress.
CRYOFLEX™ has the highest moisture resistance of any insulation material designed for ammonia refrigeration applications. CRYOFLEX™ absorbs significantly less water than polystyrene, polyisocyanurate or phenoic based insulation materials.
CRYOFLEX™ is clean and resilient, it will not crack or break during shipping, installation or in service. CRYOFLEX™ is compatible with most thermo set resin adhesives, including vinyl esters and epoxies. Refer to the CRYOFLEX™ specification and installation guidelines for specific recommendations.
Physical/Chemical Properties
CRYOFLEX™ exhibits the properties and characteristics indicated in the physical properties table (see data sheet) when tested as represented. A covering must be used to block ultraviolet radiation and prevent degradation. Other coverings to protect the foam from the elements and to meet applicable fire regulations may also be required. Consultation with local building code officials, design engineers/specifiers or insurance personnel is recommended before application.
Environmental Data
CRYOFLEX™ is specifically formulated to provide excellent thermal insulation properties. CRYOFLEX™ manufacturing chemistry is designed for energy conservation and does not harm the earth’s ozone layer.
Fire Protection
Consideration should be given to the benefits of and the costs of additional fire protection gained by installing automatic fire detection, alarm and suppression systems. Consultation with local building code officials, design engineers/specifiers or insurance personnel is recommended before application.
Fabrication/Installation
CRYOFLEX™ is easy to fabricate into various sizes and shapes to meet specific design needs. However, because of the critical technical design aspects of many of its applications, Nomaco Insulation recommends that qualified designers or consultants design the total system. Contact a local Nomaco Insulation representative for more specific instructions.
