DESCRIPTION
K-FLEX
®
PE is a polyethylene based closed cell,
flexible foam insulation meeting the requirements
of
ASTM
C1427.
It
is
environmentally-friendly
as it is free of CFCs, HFCs, HCFCs, PBDEs,
formaldehyde and fibers. K-FLEX
®
PE contains no
halogens. The product is made in K-FLEX
®
USA’s
ISO 90001:2008-certified manufacturing facility in
North Carolina. K-FLEX
®
PE has excellent thermal,
physical, and chemical resistance properties as
exhibited by its low thermal conductivity and low
water absorption and water vapor permeability
values.
AVAILABILITY
K-FLEX
®
PE is black in color and is available in
both semi-slit and seam-seal 6’ lengths in wall
thickness of 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4” and 1” and diameter
sizes ranging from 3/8” ID to 4-1/2” ID. The self-
seal version is quick and easy to install.
APPLICATIONS
K-FLEX
®
PE
is
recommended
for
applications
with service temperatures ranging from -200°F
(-129°C) to +200°F (93°C). The product is used to
retard heat gain or loss and prevent condensation
on
below-ambient
applications
including
cold
water
plumbing,
chilled
water,
and
industrial
process lines, among others. It also can be used
to prolong the time to freezing and can be used
with heat tracing tapes. It also retards heat loss
from medium hot systems, including hot water
plumbing. K-FLEX
®
PE is used in both residential
and commercial applications.
INSTALLATION
K-FLEX
®
PE is flexible (even at low temperatures),
durable (non-fracturing and skin is resistant to
tearing
from
handling
and
environment),
safe
to
handle
(non-dusting
and
non-abrasive)
and
lightweight for an efficient installation. K-FLEX
®
recommends
that
insulation
be
installed
on
nonoperational systems with clean, dry surfaces
in ambient conditions between 40°F and 110°F.
Properly
sized
tubing
can
be
slid
over
piping
and copper fittings or can be applied to existing
lines using the seam-seal product. All butt joints,
termination
points,
and
open
ends
should
be
sealed with an approved contact adhesives, i.e.
K-FLEX
®
320, 620, 720, or 1120 depending on
the requirements of the application, making sure
both surfaces to be joined are coated. Longitudinal
seams should faced downward and vapor stops
should be installed as needed. Fittings (elbows,
tees,
and
p-traps)
and
special
parts
(flanges,
valves, etc) can be field-fabricated from insulation
tubes
and
sheet.
ASTM
C1710,
Installation
Guide for Flexible Closed Cell Foams, and the
K-FLEX
®
Installation Manual should be used as
comprehensive installation guides.
OUTDOOR APPLICATION
K-FLEX
®
PE is designed for indoor or outdoor use.
For UV exposure (rooftop applications) K-FLEX
®
PE must be protected with an approved coating
or
jacketed.
Installation
of
outdoor
insulation
shall comply with all applicable state and local
code requirements. Coating (where coatings are
allowed) or jacketing of K-FLEX
®
PE should be
done
immediately
after
installation
to
minimize
the possibility of melting due to concentrated light
that can occur in the vicinity of reflective surfaces.

K-FLEX
®
USA
Technical
Support
for
coating recommendations.
UNDERGROUND APPLICATION
K-FLEX
®
PE
is
acceptable
for
use
in
buried
applications when installed above the water table.
Below the water table, lines must be encased in a
conduit to protect them from problems associated
with ground water intrusion and compaction. Refer
to K-FLEX
®
technical support.
RESISTANCE TO MOISTURE VAPOR
The closed cell structure and unique formulation
inherently
resists
moisture
vapor
intrusion.
For
most
indoor
applications,
K-FLEX
®
PE
needs
no additional protection. Additional vapor barrier
protection
may
be
necessary
when
installed
on
cold
systems
located
in
high
humidity
environments.
FLAME AND SMOKE RATING
K-FLEX
®
PE in wall thicknesses of 1” (25mm)
and below has a flame spread rating of 25 or less
and a smoke development rating of 50 or less
when tested per ASTM E84, “Surface Burning
Characteristics of Building Materials”. Numerical
flammability
ratings
alone
may
not
define
the
performance
of
products
under
actual
fire
conditions. They are provided only for use in the
selection of products to meet specified limits.
