Nextera Insulations offers cutting-edge thermal and acoustic insulation systems, and our Polyolefin (XLPE) Closed Cell Cross-Linked Insulation is designed to tackle the most challenging industrial and commercial tasks.

XLPE rigid insulation is manufactured to the highest world standards and keeps condensation at bay, works well over the long term, is thermally efficient, and exceptionally sound absorbing. It’s a perfect candidate for use on HVAC systems, chilled water piping, ducting, and cold water plumbing.

Applications

Our Polyolefin (XLPE) insulation is widely used in:

• Chilled Water Pipe and Duct Insulation
• Cold Water and Condensate Pipe Insulation
• HVAC Ducting and Piping Systems
• Acoustic Insulation in Buildings
• Custom Adhesive and Tape-Based Solutions

Material Overview

Nextera’s XLPE foam is a closed-cell, chemically cross-linked polyethylene insulation with a uniform structure and high cell integrity. This results in:

• Low water absorption – ideal for humid environments
• Excellent thermal insulation – minimizes energy loss
• High chemical and weather resistance – suited for industrial applications
• Shock absorbency and durability – protects against mechanical stress
• Lightweight and easy to handle – reduces installation time and cost

Features

• Thickness: There are several thicknesses available depending on project specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Polyolefin (XLPE) Closed Cell Cross-Linked Insulation?

Polyolefin (XLPE) insulation is a closed-cell, chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam. It provides excellent thermal insulation, moisture resistance, and sound absorption, making it suitable for chilled water piping, HVAC ducting, cold water plumbing, and acoustic insulation in commercial and industrial projects.

2. Where is XLPE insulation commonly used?

XLPE insulation is widely applied in:

• Chilled water pipe and duct insulation
• Cold water and condensate pipe insulation
• HVAC ducting and piping systems
• Acoustic insulation in buildings
• Custom adhesive and tape-based insulation solutions
  

3. Does XLPE insulation absorb moisture?

No. XLPE insulation has a closed-cell structure with very low water absorption, making it ideal for humid environments and condensation control. It prevents thermal loss and maintains long-term performance even in moisture-prone conditions.

4. Is XLPE insulation UV and weather resistant?

Yes. XLPE insulation is UV-resistant and ozone-resistant, meaning it performs well in both indoor and outdoor applications. It withstands harsh weather conditions and provides durable long-term protection for HVAC and piping systems.

5. What are the main benefits of using XLPE insulation?

The key benefits include:

• Thermal efficiency – reduces energy loss and improves system performance.
