Hi,
I am thinking of choosing between these two insulators for air-conditioning. Any opinions?

http://www.superlon.com.my/?page_id=1212
http://www.insulflex.com.my/specifications...ifications.html

I can judge the physical performance of these two insulators from their website, but no aging test results..
Some contractor said superlon is better and vice versa.

Any opinions?

ohh.. insulflex's quality is better?
sorry, could you explain further please?

because of its thickness?
but thermal conductivity is more important than thickness.
A thin material with low thermal conductivity is better than a thick material with high thermal conductivity.
From the website, the thermal conductivity for insulflex is higher than superlon.

price-wise? ehmm..
well, normally it can be an indicator but it is an uncertain gauge..

I notice that insulflex provides detailed information about their product, which is a plus-point.
One big assumption though, both websites are giving truthful ratings..
hence, i think insulflex seems trustworthy because they have more info in their website but i am only judging from the numbers..

I am located in Johor Bahru and I am going to use it for my air-con copper pipes.
I already have a contractor but I am checking to see which brand is better myself.
