Micro-Flex
- Product Short Description
-
Made from high-temperature, semi-rigid fiberglass blanket
bonded to a flexible facing.
Easy to Apply - For 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.
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.
Conforms Around Various Diameters and Shapes -
Due 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.”
Low Thermal Conductivity - The unique, uniform fiber orientation and a variety of thicknesses provide a dependable thermal conductivity (“k”) of .24 Btu•in/(hr•ft2 •°F) at 75°F mean temperature (.035 W/m•°C at 24°C).
Superior Strength - The unique fiber manufacturing process results in a highly durable product that exhibits excellent handling properties during shipping and installation.
Operating Temperature Limits - 0°F to 850°F (-18°C to 454°C)*
Shot-Free Glass Fibers -
Due to the advanced fiber-manufacturing process and latest advances in binder technology, Micro-Flex can stand up to the rigors of heavy vibration.
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.
