The expanded closed-cell structure makes it an efficient insulation. It is manufactured without the use of CFC's, HFC's or HCFC's. Kingflex Thermal Insulation Rubber Foam Sheet is also effective for reducing HVAC noise. On cold systems, insulation thicknesses have been calculated to control condensation on the insulation outer surface, as shown in the table of thickness recommendation.

The Manufacturing Process of Kingflex Thermal Insulation Rubber Foam Sheet
The three main components used in the manufacturing of elastomeric closed cell foam insulation include the following:
Synthetic rubber blend, typically nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and/or ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) A chemical foaming agent
These components are combined in a large mixer, typically in batches of 500 pounds or more. The mixture is then put through extruding equipment to form a particular profile or shape, typically either a round tube or a flat sheet. The profile is heated in an oven to a specific temperature, a process that causes the chemical foaming agent to change from a solid to a gas. When this occurs, thousands of tiny air pockets (cells)—all of which are connected—form. The profile is carefully cooled to ensure that these cells remain unbroken and intact, maintaining the material’s closed cell structure. It is then cut to size and packaged for shipment. Elastomeric foams are made without the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), making them suitable for the toughest environmental specifications.
