AEROFOAM® NBR is a flexible closed cell thermal insulation material for condensation control in
air-conditioning, refrigeration and chilled water installations. It is also suitable for reducing thermal losses in
heating and plumbing systems. The combination of its technical properties – a low thermal conductivity and a
high resistance to water vapor transmission- and its competitive price makes it a cost-effective energy-saving
solution. The AEROFOAM® NBR range covers the majority of pipe sizes used in these types of installations.

Low thermal Conductivity

AEROFOAM® NBR has an unique closed cell structure, which offers the material a very good and stable
thermal performance through a low Lambda (λ) value.

High Water Vapor Difussion Resistance

AEROFOAM® NBR is compounded to achieve a high water vapour diffusion resistance through its
closed cell structure and outer dense skin. This helps maintaining a steady thermal performance and a
long service life.

Fire Resistance
AEROFOAM® NBR is rated Class O as per BS 476 Part 6 & 7 for spread of flame and fire propogation. It
does not melt, nor drip when burning, therefore does not cause fire transfer. Low smoke density makes
it a safer option.

Environment Friendly
AEROFOAM® NBR is CFC & HCFC free, fiber free, dust free and resistant to mold and fungi growth. It
has very low ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and GWP (Global Warming Potential).

Ease Of installation
AEROFOAM® NBR is quick and easy to install due to its high flexibility, dimensional stability and smooth
surface skin. It can be applied on pipes, ducts and tanks.
