UT SolaFlex
Tube and Roll Insulation
UT SolaFlex Tube and Roll Insulation is a flexible EPDM thermal high-temperature insulation, ideal for solar, VRV/VRF, and stainless steel applications. The closed-cell structure provides thermal conductivity, excellent fire and smoke behavior, low temperature flexibility and excellent protection against heat flow and water vapor diffusion.
UT SolaFlex insulation performs on a broad range of metal pipes and tubing used on solar collectors, refrigeration, hot gas and dual temperature piping, automotive (under hood) and low-pressure steam lines. It is ideal for use as a high-temperature, closed-cell foam insulation for solar collectors.
Overview
Elastomeric tube insulation for higher temperatures up to 300°F
Product Advantages
Fire Rated: Meets 25/50 flame and smoke index of ASTM E 84
Helps Protect Indoor Air Quality: Fiber-free, formaldehyde-free, low VOC
Closed-cell structure naturally resists growth of mold
Remains flexible at temperatures up to +300°F (+150°C)
Application Areas
Solar collectors
VRV/VRF piping applications
Hot gas piping
Automotive (under hood)
Low pressure steam lines
Painting will minimize surface degradation due to prolonged UV radiation exposure

Outdoor Use:
No UV protection is necessary for performance of the product. However, all elastomeric-based cellular insulation will show surface defects after prolonged exposure to UV radiation. Covering or a protective coating, such as WB Finish, will minimize these defects if installed outdoors.
