VS Foam
Description
VS Foam is a flexible, closed cell, nitrile rubber with a hard wearing surface skin.
It is suitable for thermal and acoustic insulation, condensation control, frost protection and for use as a protective
cushion between two hard surfaces.
VS Foam is available in flat sheets or rolls and can be die-cut to size and shape.
It can be supplied with a variety of facings and with a self-adhesive backing if required.
Colour - Black
Application
VS Foam is used extensively on cold equipment, including ducts and large pipes to prevent heat gain or frost
formation, on hot equipment to prevent heat loss and can be used to form a seal between two interfaces.
Environmental Consideration
VS Foam is environmentally friendly, HCFC free and CFC free with an ozone depletion potential of zero (ODP Zero).
Operating Temperature
VS Foam can be used at continuous operating temperatures from -40ºC up to 116ºC and should be applied when
the ambient temperature is between 5ºC and 25ºC.
Fire Performance
VS Foam complies with the Class ’O’ requirements of the Building Regulations, when tested to BS476: Par 6: 1989
and Part 7: 1997.
