InsulationAerocel® ULP™ with 99%+ closed cell EPDM material combines the moisture resistance performance of cellular glass with superior insulation properties. Low water absorption. Excellent water permeance. And the best advantage of all, Aerocel® ULP™ is flexible, easy to install and costs substantially less than cellular glass.
CHECK IT OUTASTM E96 testing, both wet and dry cup, demonstrates that Aerocel® ULP™ is a vapor retarder by itself – no added barriers are required. Permeance rating of .005 perm-inch.
Aerocel® ULP™ is the most resistant insulation material to water absorption – .1% by volume.
Delivers long-term, stable insulating performance. Testing demonstrates a rapid decline in insulation value with increasing moisture content – wet insulation does not insulate.
The high level of humidity and moisture resistance saves energy.
Independent laboratory testing demonstrates that Aerocel® ULP™ has a permeance rating of .005 perm-inch, the measure of water vapor resistance required for elastomeric insulation.
Independent testing shows Aerocel® ULP™ water absorption is .1% by volume.
Aerocel® ULP™ can be used in conditions that no other insulation can without added moisture protection – outdoors, other intermittent water-soaking environments. This saves on installation cost. Aerocel® ULP™ is not meant to be used in food processing or other routine wash-down environments without added coverings, like Aerocel® with SaniGuard.
Fiberglass, mineral wool, polisocyanurate (PIR), extruded polystyrene (XPS), expanded polystyrene (EPS), phenolic resin, and other flexible elastomeric (FEF) insulation materials require the addition of a vapor-retarding material to create water vapor-resistant and moisture-resistant insulation systems.
Cellular glass requires extensive sealing and jacketing to complete the vapor-retarder and water-resistance properties of the insulation system, increasing cost.
Aerocel® ULP™ with SSPT and Cel-Link II
Aerocel® ULP™ with SSPT and Cel-Link II seal immediately with no dry/cure time. Ready for service when installed!
Aerocel® ULP™ – one side to seal, fewer butt-ends to seal. Aeroseal™ Adhesive is ready to go within minutes of installation
Other cellular insulations have two longitudinal seams and more butt-ends that must be sealed with joint sealant.
- Time to apply joint sealant
- Time for joint sealant to dry before apply added vapor retarder
- More butt seams to seal because of sectional lengths of 24" or 36" vs. Aerocel® ULP™ at 72"
