Kaiflex KKplus s2

Requirements for limited smoke development are tightening across Europe, with more and more demanding measures to restrict smoke from insulation materials in fires. This requirement was made clear in Germany, for example, by the revision of the model administrative regulation MVV TB to define smoke development class s2 as the minimum requirement for flame-resistant building products. The fire resistance duration of building components (e.g. the lead-throughs of piping systems) also plays a significant role.

As a fully coordinated insulation system consisting of sheet, tube, pipe support and adhesive, Kaiflex KKplus s2 meets stricter building and fire protection requirements as well as thermal requirements for very effective technical insulation. With building material class B_L/B-s2, d0 per EN 13501-1, the insulation already meets the requirements in the bid tender standard.

Thanks to our patented KaiCene technology, the panels can remain uncoated and, like the hose material, help reduce smoke development and improve personal safety in the event of fire.

Kaiflex KKplus s2 reliably prevents the formation of condensation and pipe corrosion. The closed cells provide a full water vapour barrier, effectively reducing dampness and so maintaining the material’s high insulation throughout the service life of the insulated system. Due to its technical properties, the insulation thus contributes to a sustained reduction in energy costs.

Benefits

Kaiflex KKplus s2

• Limited smoke emission according to EN 13501-1
• Very high thermal efficiency
• Reliable long-term performance

Kaiflex ST s2

The requirements for structural fire protection, and in particular the increased focus on personal safety in case of fire, have been increasing internationally for years. More and more, limited smoke development has to correspond to an “s2” smoke development class in accordance with EN 13501-1 as the minimum requirement for flame-retardant building products. Kaimann meets these enhanced requirements and offers increased fire safety with its Kaiflex ST s2: The insulation material made of closed-cell rubber emits limited smoke to s2 standards and is self-extinguishing as well as non-dripping. These properties mean that the insulation material meets the demanding European requirements for combustible building materials such as MVV TB, VKF RF2, Class O (in accordance with UK Building Regulations) and Class 1 (tested in accordance with BS476-7) for surface spread of flame.

With its very high-level technical attributes, Kaiflex ST s2 is an alternative for applications requiring the utmost in energy efficiency. This proven closed-cell rubber insulation material has an excellent thermal efficiency of up to λ ≤0.033 (W/m·K) and condensation resistance of up to μ ≥10,000 even at low layer thicknesses, so reliably preventing energy losses and pipe corrosion in the long term.

Kaiflex ST s2 tubes are available as a standard product or self-adhesive in 2 and 1.2 m lengths.

Whichever variant you choose, it is easy to work with Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) make the ecological assessment of Kaimann insulation materials even more transparent. In this way, the company assists in the planning and certification of sustainable buildings.

Kaiflex HT s2

Efficient and hygienic insulation for sanitary and heating systems

"The all-purpose insulation material Kaiflex HT s2 not only minimises heat and energy loss, but also provides reliable fire protection. It therefore excels in two equally important areas, making it the ideal choice for developers who value good energy efficiency as well as adherence to high safety standards.

The challenge of energy efficiency
If pipes, valves, flanges or pipe supports are poorly or not continuously insulated, heat loss can be excessively high. In residential buildings or workspaces, this means energy is already lost before the heat even reaches its destination. For this reason, insulation plays a central role in energy efficiency by keeping heat where it belongs. Kaimann is continually improving its Kaiflex products to meet increasing demands for energy savings, without losing sight of important aspects like room climate, dependable product quality, fire safety and ease of application.

High performance and versatility
The result: Kaiflex HT s2, a universally usable insulation for interior drinking water, hot and cold water pipes as well as heating pipes, in residential and commercial buildings. The extensive product range offers solutions for all applications addressed by the German Energy Saving Ordinance (GEG). For example, in Application Area A it can be used with 100% insulating layer thickness in unheated cellars. Thanks to its good heat insulation – constant heat conductivity across all dimensions λ is +40°C ≤0.040 W/(m·K) – Kaiflex HT s2 can significantly reduce the energy costs of a building simply through insulating the accessible pipework. At the same time, the low heat conductivity ensures that the defined temperatures for cold water pipes (DIN 1988-200) and hot water pipes (DIN EN 806-2) are safely maintained, preventing the growth of legionella bacteria. Free from CFC and H-CFC gases as well as fibres, Kaiflex HT s2 also satisfies elevated hygienic requirements and contributes to a positive room climate.

The grey tube material with its closed-cell structure acts as a water vapour barrier, preventing the formation of condensation and thereby reducing the risk of CUI (corrosion under insulation). Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, the insulation needs no additional biocides and provides effective protection against mould and bacteria growth (Eurofin-certified). Furthermore, Kaiflex HT s2 reduces unwanted flow and tap noises of fluids in pipes.

The challenge of fire protection
The requirements for limiting smoke development have become more stringent across Europe. The new German Technical Building Rules (MVV TB) mandate that flame-retardant building products used in construction requiring approval, such as new construction or renovations and changes to existing structures, fulfil the new minimum requirement C/CL-s2, d0. With Kaiflex HT s2, Kaimann offers dependable fire protection. This insulation material in construction material class CL-s2, d0 develops only small amounts of smoke, is self-extinguishing and doesn’t drip off burning, and so in every category meets the requirements of the tightened definition of “flame-retardant” products pursuant to the revised German Technical Building Rules (MVV TB).

Easy installation
Kaiflex HT s2 is offered in three versions for small diameter pipes – endless tube, standard 2 m tube, and self-adhesive 2 m tube. Even in difficult situations, it installs quickly and is easy to work with, which is especially helpful when making special shapes and fittings."

Benefits

Kaiflex HT s2

• Minimises heat and energy loss
• Adheres to high safety standards
• Dependable safety: Euroclass C_L-s2, d0
