NBR Insulation Tech Sheet - SA | ACURA Group

The ACURA Group SuperMax FR pipe NBR insulation solution.

The thermal insulation solution for your project.

ACURA NBR Insulation NBR insulation pipe installation is a flexible closed cell thermal insulation material for condensation control in air-conditioning, refrigeration and chilled water installations.

It is also suitable for reducing thermal losses in heating and plumbing systems. The combination of its technical properties (a low thermal conductivity and a high esistance to water vapour transmission) and its competitive price, makes it a cost effective energysaving solution.

Features • • • •

Quick and easy to install Covers the majority of pipe sizes used in every possible installation Also has sound absorption qualities NBR is rated AS 1530.3 for spread of flame and fire propagation

NOTE: R-value or thermal resistance is a measure of the ability of a material to retard heat flow. The higher the R-value, the higher the insulating value. R-values are

caluclated based on the equivalent thickness of the insulation divided by the K-value of the insulation. Under the Building Code of Australia (BCA) the standards specifies the R-values needed under part J5. * 16mm (5/8”) and 19mm (3/4”) pipe size has a thickness of at least 21mm to achieve R-Values
