Kingflex Insulation Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the launch of K-Flex ECO® Tube halogen-free high temp pipe insulation, a solution to the issue of corrosion under insulation (CUI) in the maritime industry. The product is compliant with the US Navy EB4013 MSC 16 (67) SOLAS Agreement (IMO).
CUI is a common problem in the marine industry, where pipes and equipment are often exposed to harsh water conditions. The corrosion that occurs under insulation can lead to serious safety hazards and maintenance issues, especially when it comes to stainless steel marine equipment. The issue has been a long-standing challenge for marine engineers and operators, requiring frequent inspections and maintenance to prevent costly failures.
To address this issue, Kingflex has developed the K-Flex ECO® Tube halogen-free high temp closed cell pipe insulation. This product is a high-quality, durable solution that offers excellent protection against CUI for stainless steel pipes in marine applications.
One of the key features of K-Flex ECO® Tube is that it is halogen-free. This means it does not contain any halogenated flame retardants, which are often used in insulation products but can pose environmental and health risks. By eliminating halogens from the product, Kingflex is demonstrating its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Moreover, K-Flex ECO® Tube can withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for use in marine applications where heat resistance is essential. The product’s closed-cell structure provides excellent insulation properties, while its high durability ensures that it can withstand harsh marine environments.
The US Navy has recognized the importance of using high-quality insulation products to prevent CUI, and Kingflex’s K-Flex ECO® Tube has received approval from the Navy for use on its vessels. The product meets the requirements of the US Navy EB4013 MSC 16 (67) SOLAS Agreement (IMO), which sets standards for fire protection and insulation in the maritime industry.
The launch of K-Flex ECO® Tube is a significant step forward for the marine industry, providing a reliable and efficient solution to the problem of CUI.
