Cold water applications
Pipes in domestic and drinking water applications transport water below room temperature. Where pipes enter the building, we often find weak points in the building structure. These so-called thermal bridges are one of the most frequent reasons for energy loss. In addition, condensation can form on the cold surface of the pipe. When the remaining water in the pipe system is exposed to temperatures below freezing, it solidifies after some time and expands. The pressure exerted may be sufficient to cause the pipe to crack along its length or break the pipe joints. The extent of the damage or the cost of water pipes that burst due to freezing can be very expensive. The damage caused by burst water pipes often results in costly repairs.
Insulation of service and drinking water pipes performs an important function in preventing such problems. Insulation along the entire pipe system reduces the risk of the medium freezing, which drastically reduces the probability of pipe icing. A positive side effect: thanks to the insulation, the multiplication of legionella bacteria, which develops between a temperature range of 25 to 55 °C, is safely prevented. Kaiflex products ensure that the temperature of the cold water pipes does not exceed 25 °C.

More applications
Insulation materials in the maritime environment have to meet particularly high requirements. During an intercontinental crossing, they have to withstand both icy temperatures in Nordic waters and tropical environmental influences within a very short time without losing their insulating function.
In various demanding industries such as rail transport, automotive and apparatus and plant engineering, Kaimann insulation materials are important components for a high-quality end product.
