• limit heat losses (energy saving)

• protect from hot surfaces

• protect from weather conditions

Insulation main target:

In high temperature applications Armacell EPDM materials can be used as insulation

3

  The target is to limit heat losses  Insulation with low heat conductivity factor λ

are required.   High temperature resistant material is required  For outdoor installation UV protection is a must

Why ?

Thermal conductivity λ

Thermal conductivity is a material property representing the ability of the material to conduct heat.

The thermal conductivity is the heat in joules which, per unit of time , flows through 1 m² of a 1 m thick flat layer of a substance (heat flow density) when the temperature difference is 1 K.

λ [W/mK]

Thermal conductivity is a material parameter, it does not depend on thickness or volume.
