K-FLEX CLAD ® IN TECHNICAL INFORMATIONMade in USAContains a ProtectiveAntimicrobial AgentDESCRIPTIONK-FLEX Clad ® IN, available in both tubularand sheet form, is a composite product ofclosed cell elastomeric insulation adheredto a gray polymeric sheet.K-FLEX Clad ® IN is fiber-free, non-porousCFC- and HCFC-free. These characteristicsallow it to comply with Health, Safety andEnvironmental requirements. It providessalt water and impact resistance, as wellas UV protection, making it an excellentchoice for severe outdoor conditions.K-FLEX Clad ® IN is available in 3-footlength tubes up to 1-1/2” wall thickness.Sheet product is available in 36” x 48”sheets or 36” wide rolls up to 2” thickness.K-FLEX Clad ® IN is available with K-FLEX ®LS or with K-FLEX ECO insulation. (Seeseparate data sheet for K-FLEX ECOphysical properties.) Full line of accessoryproducts (tape and adhesives) areavailable.The polymeric sheet cladding provides asecondary moisture vapor barrier to theinherently moisture resistant closed cellfoam core.APPLICATIONSK-FLEX Clad ® IN is an ideal choice for industrialplants, offshore platforms, FPSO’s,LNG Terminals and for the shipbuildingindustry. It is well-suited for extreme temperatureapplications due to the ability ofthe outer polymeric covering to expand andcontract with rapid temperature cycles.K-FLEX Clad ® IN - ECO meets IMO requirementsfor shipbuilding and off-shoreplatforms.K-FLEX Clad ® IN has a low thermal conductivity,a high water vapor diffusion resistancefactor, and practically eliminates theproblem of under insulation corrosion. It iseasy to install and combines excellent performancewith low maintenance requirements.The cladding is flexible enough toprotect against damage from traffic (doesnot dent like traditional metal jackets) andallows for easy maintenance.K-FLEX Clad ® IN with elastomeric insulationcore can be used over a wide rangeof temperatures from -297°F to +220°F(-182°C to +104°C). K-FLEX Clad ® IN -ECO (halogen-free) should be used as thecore insulation on stainless steel applicationsabove 100°F. The temperature rangefor K-FLEX Clad ® IN - ECO is -297°F to+300°F (-182°C to +150°C).INSTALLATIONA unique overlap closure system, whicheliminates through seams on longitudinalseams, ensures against moisture penetration.No special tools and fewer materialsare necessary at the job site, allowing forquick installation.K-FLEX ® 320 Contact Adhesive is an aggressiveadhesive specially formulated forthe clad jacket and insulation core systemand is recommended for longitudinal, buttand overlap seams.PAGE 74
