Self-Adhesive (Rubber) Closed-Cell Foam Insulation Benefits

The Self-Adhesive Elastomeric Closed-Cell Foam Insulation that we carry is a high-quality insulation product meant for use with HVAC systems, including in-suite condo Fan Coil and Heat Pump cabinets. Here are some of the benefits of this type of insulation:

Resistance to mold growth: Unlike fiberglass insulation, which can be a breeding ground for mold, The self-adhesive closed-cell foam insulation contains Microban® antimicrobial product protection, which inhibits the growth of mold and mildew in the insulation. This helps maintain good indoor air quality and reduces the risk of respiratory problems.

Moisture resistance: The closed-cell foam structure of this insulation prevents moisture wicking, which means that it won't absorb moisture and become saturated like other insulation materials. This eliminates the need for additional vapor retarder and makes it ideal for use in humid environments.

Durability: The self-adhesive insulation is long-lasting and retains its thermal integrity over time. This means that it will last longer and require less maintenance than other types of insulation and makes it ideal for HVAC applications.

Easy to install: The self-adhesive backing on this insulation makes it easy to install, as it eliminates the need for glue or other adhesives with strong odors. This can help reduce installation time and labor costs.

Indoor Air Quality: Low VOC, fiber-free, non-particulating, formaldehyde-free insulation. The self-adhesive backing on this insulation is also low VOC, which means that it won't release any unpleasant odors or fumes during installation or use.

Excellent adhesion: The full coverage of the self-adhesive backing provides excellent adhesion, ensuring that the insulation stays in place over time and doesn't shift or come loose.

Energy efficiency: By insulating HVAC cabinets with closed-cell foam insulation, you can help improve the energy efficiency of the system. This is because the insulation helps to reduce heat loss or gain, which can help lower energy bills and reduce the system's environmental impact.

In addition to these points, it is worth noting that the self-adhesive closed-cell foam insulation is GREENGUARD Gold Certified. This means that it has been independently tested and certified to meet strict chemical emissions limits, which helps to ensure a healthier indoor environment. The certification also helps architects and builders earn LEED points, which can contribute to green building certifications.

Overall, the insulation we use is a high-quality insulation product that provides a range of benefits for HVAC systems. Its resistance to mold, moisture, and wear and tear, along with its ease of installation and energy efficiency, make it a superior choice for condo HVAC cabinets.
