Everseal
AEROCEL EVERSEAL INSULATION TAPE is specially designed for all types of climates. It insulates cold pipes for all kinds of air conditioners used in cars, homes, freezers and refrigerators. Helps stop condensation problems. Ideal for retarding heat gain in cold pipes and preventing heat loss in hot pipes.
EVERSEAL INSULATION TAPE is an effective sound dampening material, and it can also be used for gasketing purposes.
EVERSEAL INSULATION TAPE sticks to all kinds of dry metals. It seals tightly without drying. It is flexible and does not shrink or melt within the service temperature of -20°F (-29°C)to +200°F (+93°C).

EPDM Continuous Tube
Aerocel® EPDM continuous tube insulation is a flexible, closed cell and light weight elastomeric material designed for insulating liquid cooling and heating lines. Aerocel® continuous tube is available in 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, 1" and 1-1/2" thicknesses, and popular sizes up to 1 5/8” ID. The closed-cell structure of Aerocel® continuous tube pipe insulation makes it the most efficient elastomeric insulation. Aerocel® EPDM continuous tube insulation offers the only truly UV resistant HVAC piping insulation, requiring no additional protection from weathering degradation, because it is formulated using EPDM rubber.
Aerocel® EPDM continuous tube is manufactured to consistently provide actual values on these key performance criteria for mechanical system insulation:
Thermal Conductivity: 0.257 K Factor
Water Vapor transmission: >0.10
Fire Rating: Will not contribute significantly to fire (simulated end-use testing).
Aerocel® EPDM continuous tube pipe insulation, in 3/8”, 1/2, 3/4”, 1" and 1-1/2" thicknesses, has a flame spread rating of 25 or less and a smoke developed rating of 50 or less as tested by ASTM E 84 Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials.
Note: Numerical flammability ratings alone may not define performance under actual fire conditions. They are provided only for use in the selection of products to meet limits specified.
Key Features
- Best U/V resistance in its class
- Low thermal conductivity
- Easy to install
- 25/50 rated
- Versatile, for heating, AC, refrigeration, plumbing
Aerocel® continuous tube pipe insulation is used to retard heat gain and control condensation drip from cold water plumbing, chilled water, and refrigeration lines. It also efficiently reduces heat loss for hot water plumbing and liquid heating and dual temperature piping. The recommended temperature usage range for Aerocel® continuous tube pipe insulation is - 40° to 220° F.
Resistance to Moisture Vapor Flow
The closed-cell structure of Aerocel® continuous tube insulation effectively retards the flow of moisture vapor, and Aerocel® continuous tube is considered a low transmittance vapor retarder protection.
Application
Aerocel® continuous tube pipe insulation in unslit tubular form can be slipped onto piping before it is connected, or it can be slit lengthwise and snapped over piping already connected. Butt joints and seams are to be sealed with Aeroseal contact adhesive. Both surfaces to be joined must be coated with adhesive.
Aeroseal
Description
Aeroseal adhesive (amber or black in color) is a modified neoprene contact adhesive specially formulated for bonding Aerocel® insulating materials firmly together. Aeroseal creates strong seams and butt joints that will operate at temperatures up to 257 degrees F. Aeroseal may also be used for adhering sheet insulation to flat and curved surfaces that will operate at temperatures to 180 degrees F. Aeroseal adhesive (amber or black) is also ideal for use with other materials like metal, cork board, polyurethane foam, rigid PVC sheet, formica, melamine board and rubber sheet. Aeroseal adhesive has a high water vapor resistance and weathering resistance to prevent moisture from penetrating joints, and forms a permanent bond to the applied materials for long lasting service.
Directions for Use
Stir contents thoroughly before use. Thinning is not recommended. Prepare both surfaces before applying adhesive by being sure they are dry and clean of any foreign matters. Apply a thin even coat to both surfaces to be bonded. Allow to dry but still tacky to the touch. Aeroseal will bond immediately upon contact, so it is necessary to position pieces accurately as contact is made. Moderate pressure should be applied over the entire area to assure that contact is complete.
It is recommended that the adhesive not be open for more than 10 minutes at a time and be applied only at temperatures above 40 degrees F. Do not apply to heated surfaces. If application is necessary under 40 degrees, extra care must be taken in application and closing the joint. Application below freezing (32 degrees F) is not recommended.
Where application is in an area that will operate at higher temperatures, it is recommended that the adhesive be cured a minimum of 36 hours to attain heat resistance assured to the temperatures stated in the description paragraph of this publication.
Although Aerocel® insulation does not require protective coating, if coating is required, all bonded joints should be allowed to cure for at least 24 to 36 hours. When sheet material is installed requiring full surface coverage of adhesive, it is recommended the insulation be allowed to cure for one full week before coating is applied.
Clean Up
Use either lacquer thinners or methyl ethyl ketone to clean any residue from tools.
