Abstract
The present invention relates to a multilayer insulation based on expandable and crosslinkable elastomeric material with improved low temperature resistance and flexibility, the process for manufacturing of such material and system, and the use of such material and system.
Claims12
A system comprising a pipe or a tank and an elastomeric low temperature insulation material for insulating the pipe or the tank, the elastomeric low temperature insulation material comprising
- (a) at least one expanded elastomeric insulation foam layer made from an expandable and crosslinkable copolymer, wherein the foam layer has a first and a second opposed surface, wherein the copolymer comprises polyethylene and polypropylene units;
- (b) at least one additional insulation layer applied to the first surface of the foam layer;
- and
- (c) a protective layer comprising a metal foil, wherein the protective layer is applied on the second surface of the foam layer such that the protective layer is disposed between the foam layer and the pipe or the tank, and wherein the foam layer comprises ripples, thereby creating a hollow space and a decoupling of the elastomeric low temperature insulation material from the pipe or the tank.
