Flexible Elastomeric Foam
Flexible elastomeric foam insulation for mechanical systems including: plumbing, refrigeration, HVAC and solar applications. Elastomeric foam insulation was developed in the 1950s. The introduction of this and other polymer-based materials marked an important industry transition from the use of natural materials, such as cork, to the use of synthetic materials and chemicals. The popularity of elastomeric insulation grew quickly, primarily because it eliminated the need for any type of vapor barrier to prevent the transference of moisture.
