ARIFLEX Elastomeric Insulation foam tubes and foam
sheets are manufactured by a continuous extrusion
process. ARIFLEX tubes and sheets are specially designed
to provide a close cell structure.
Characteristics and Advantages
Low thermal conductivity ( K value), makes it highly
efficient and effective in the insulation of cooling or
heating systems.
The thermal blister close cell structure forms an
impermeable layer which is in itself a good vapour
barrier.
It is suitable for application within the temperaturerange
of -40C to +125C.
The material has been specially compounded to self-
extinguish in nature
ARIFLEX has excellent ozone and ultraviolet
resistance.
It is CFC, asbestos, chlorine and fiber free and does
not cause skin allergy.
It is inert to most chemical agents and neutral to pipe
metals.
The extreme flexibility of the materials makes
installation fast, easy and economical.
It is able to withstand tearing, rough handling and
severe site conditions.
Compared to other types of insulation, ARIFLEX
needs less installation space due to its low K-value.
This results in overall thinner walls.
The smooth surface of ARIFLEX material gives the
finished installation a neat and aesthetic appearance.
No coating is necessary for most indoor installations.
Technology
ARIL has the latest proceeding facilities to produce
consintent products like ARIFLEX elastomeric insulationfoam tubes and foam sheets that are meeting the
international standards. A Rheometer ensures batch to
batch consistency.
Raw materials are imported from well renowned
international manufacturers. ARIL has stock available at
all times to meet the requirements of clients in a very short
period.
Our special technology produces tubing and sheeting
whose chemical structure and chemical composition
makes it resistant to microorganism, ozone oils and
most solvents. The Internal and external skin permitsexceptional resistance to water and vapour allowing the
installer an easy application as the tubing and sheeting
slips on the piping.

Additional thickness of insulation may be required for
abnormal humidity in poorly ventilated areas where
temperature may be depressed below ambient
conditions.
Insulation for pipes DN10 mm to DN76 mm IPS
(Iron Pipe Size) are available in tubing form with wall
thickness of up to 25mm.
Insulation for pipes above DN76 mm IPS are in precut
sheets and available up to 38 mm thickness.
ARIFLEX thickness recommended within the specified
temperature range will control condensation on indoor
piping under design conditions defined on Table 3.

Table 4 - ARIFLEX Foam Tube Standard Sizes and Package details
Std. carton size : L X B X H = 1885 mm x 310 mm x 340 mm
Installation
ARIFLEX Foam Tube installs easily and quickly. No special
tools are needed. A factory applied coating of talc on the
smooth inner surface allows ARIFLEX to slide easily over
the pipe or tubing. When applied to existing lines, ARIFLEX
foam tube is slit lengthwise and fitted into the place. A
sharp knife is used for slitting. All seams and butt joints
should be sealed with an approved contact adhesive, to
make sure that both joint surfaces to be joined are coated
with adhesive.
Proper installtion is critical to the insulations performance.
It is important to properly size the insulation, push (dont
pull) the insulation over the pipe or tubing and finally seal
all seams, butt joints and open ends.
