The temperature is below 100 degrees and above 70 degrees; can heat retention and cold insulation be used interchangeably?

Can rubber-plastic insulation materials be used as thermal insulation materials? The pipe temperature is greater than 70 degrees and less than 100 degrees.

Personally, I think it’s possible, but there’s no basis for it.
Reply #32016-12-20
As long as the thermal conductivity is not high, it should be possible
Reply #42016-12-20
As long as the basic requirements in the standards are met, it can be used; for details, see SH/T3010-2013.

It mainly depends on the thermal conductivity; if all parameters meet the standard requirements, I think it’s still acceptable

I only know that rubber and plastic are generally used for insulation; I’ve never seen them used for heat retention. However, like sponges, it may shrink and wrinkle when heated; it is recommended to use insulating materials instead.

A temperature of 70-100 degrees is not high, so it should be feasible to use.

Obviously not; the operating temperature for rubber and plastic materials should not exceed 75°C, and their price is several times that of insulation materials.

I think it should be possible; there’s no specific evidence for it, and the temperature isn’t high

When using rubber-plastic foam, it is recommended that the temperature not exceed 60 degrees
Reply #112016-12-20
Elastomeric foam can be used as an insulating material within this temperature range; it tends to carbonize at higher temperatures
