Why do we choose rubber and plastic boards?
May 06, 2025
With the development of the economy and society, we have new demands for our living and working environments, which means that the construction industry has higher requirements for building materials.
What is rubber and plastic board?
Rubber and plastic board, which can also be called rubber plastic insulation board, is a popular insulating material made of rubber and plastic. Due to its excellent cold resistance, heat resistance, flame retardancy and flexibility, it is widely used in various pipes or containers to provide insulation and protection.
Apart from rubber and plastic boards, rubber and plastic insulation pipes are also important insulation materials. The fire resistance coefficient of rubber and plastic insulation pipes is relatively high among similar insulation products. They have the characteristics of large heat capacity, good heat insulation, and good dimensional stability. Now let's take a look at rubber and plastic insulation boards!
Rubber and plastic insulation board is a kind of advanced insulation material. It has a light volume density, low thermal conductivity, is impermeable to water, has a low water absorption rate, is not flammable, does not mold, has high mechanical strength, is easy to process, is resistant to chemical corrosion (except hydrofluoric acid), is non-toxic, and has stable performance. It is both an insulating material and a heat insulation material, and can adapt to the deep cold characteristics within a relatively high temperature range. Moreover, its significant value lies not only in that it does not deteriorate after long-term use, but also in its fireproof and shockproof functions. When used in underground projects, flammable, explosive, humid environments and chemically corrosive environments, it is not only safe and reliable, but also durable and highly stable in nature. It is called "permanent insulation material that does not need to be replaced", and is thus widely used in insulation and refrigeration projects in the petroleum, chemical, underground engineering, shipbuilding, defense and military industries.
What are the characteristics of rubber and plastic boards?
1. High fire resistance: The rubber and plastic insulation board is non-combustible in fire. Its combustion performance meets the national A-level standard, and the maximum operating temperature is 180℃. The foam structure in this layer can be well protected.
2. Excellent thermal insulation performance: The rubber plastic board can maintain thermal insulation with a low thermal conductivity.
3. Heat resistance time: The rubber and plastic insulation board has a very high thermal stability and can be used for a long time at 150℃.
4. Excellent anti-corrosion and anti-aging performance: Rubber plastic boards can be exposed to sunlight for a long time without obvious aging. Therefore, they have better anti-aging properties.
5. Low density and light weight: The density of rubber and plastic insulation boards is less than 80 kg/m³, and can reach approximately 50 kg/m³. Moreover, the construction is simple and fast, which improves work efficiency.
6. Wide range of applicable temperatures: Temperature changes will not alter the strength of the foam insulation board of rubber and plastic insulated pipes.
7. Excellent sound absorption performance: The sound absorption performance of rubber and plastic insulation boards is good.
8. Absolutely environmentally friendly: Rubber plastic insulation boards have the characteristic of not polluting the environment.
