K-FLEX SOLAR HT

Innovative high-temperature insulation, specially designed for operation in conditions of elevated temperatures. It is used in efficient solar and heating systems, such as solar collectors, heat pumps, hot water supply, etc.

Purpose and application areas:

K-FLEX SOLAR HT is specialized insulation for surfaces operating in high-temperature conditions. Its unique properties make it an ideal choice for:

  • Solar collectors and solar systems: Provides minimal heat loss from pipelines that transfer hot heat transfer fluid from solar panels to the storage tank. This increases the efficiency of the entire solar system, maximizing the hot water or heat generated.
  • Hot water supply systems (HWS): Reliably insulates HWS pipes, preventing the water from cooling down on its way to the consumer and saving the energy required to heat it.
  • Heating pipelines: Reduces heat loss in heating systems, increasing their overall efficiency and lowering heating costs.
  • Industrial high-temperature processes: Can be used to insulate industrial pipelines and equipment where resistance to elevated temperatures is required.

Key Advantages of K-FLEX SOLAR HT:

  • High-temperature resistance: K-FLEX SOLAR HT is designed for long-term operation at temperatures up to +175°C (short-term up to +190°C), which makes it ideal for solar systems where temperatures can reach high values.
  • Low thermal conductivity: Provides exceptional thermal insulation, which leads to minimized energy loss and increased system efficiency.
  • Resistance to UV radiation and atmospheric influences: The special composition of the material makes it resistant to the effects of sunlight and weather conditions, which is critically important for external sections of solar system pipelines.
  • Reliable protection against condensation: High water vapor diffusion resistance (μ factor ≥ 10,000) prevents condensation on cold sections (for example, when the system cools down at night), protecting pipes from corrosion.
  • Durability and stability: The material does not rot, does not promote the growth of fungi and mold, and is resistant to many chemicals, which guarantees a long service life.
  • Easy installation: The flexible structure of the K-FLEX SOLAR HT material ensures easy and fast installation, even on pipes with complex configurations.
  • Fire safety: Meets high fire safety standards (class G1), which is important for any facility.
