Elastomeric Rubber Foam

ABOUT THE COMPANY
30-years of experience in insulation; ODE
ODE Yalıtım Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. was founded in 1985 to operate as a contractor in the construction industry. Becoming an importer
in 1990 and a manufacturer in 1996, ODE became a regional power in 2010 with international quality production and a widespread
dealer network. Today, it is among the largest manufacturers of the insulation sector with 4 modern production facilities (ODE R-flex
Production Facility, ODE Isıpan Production Facility, ODE Membrane Production Facility, ODE Starflex Glasswool Production Facility)
spread over an outdoor area of 120,000 m2 and an indoor area of 35,000 m2, a product range of over 4,000 products, and expert staff.

Being a leader in transport and storage with its logistic centre spread over an indoor area of 15,000 m2, ODE commissioned its 3rd
production base in Eskişehir in 2015, commemorating its 30th year. When the factory, spread over an area of 75,000 m2 of which 60,000
m2 is an indoor area, reaches full capacity it will produce 20,000 tons of elastomeric rubber foam, 25 million m2 of membrane, and 5
million m2 shingle yearly.

Regional Power from Europe to China

The first and only insulation brand to participate in the TURQUALITY® Support Program, ODE exports to 75 countries on 5 continents
ranging from Belgium to Moldova, and Australia to Pakistan. With its new facility for elastomeric rubber foam, which will be the largest
investment between Europe and the Far East, ODE aims to be the largest insulation company of Turkey and the regional powerhouse
of the Far East-Europe line.

100% Ozone Friendly and Environmentally Responsible Production

Focusing its work towards the goal of a more habitable world and proving its commitment to this concept with solid work, ODE became
the first and only insulation company in 2010 to attend the Umbrella project initiated in Turkey in 2009 with the cooperation of the
T.R. Ministry of the Environment and UNIDO. Having its efforts certified in international platforms by receiving a grant from the United
Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), ODE has completed its 2 year-long research and development studies and has
switched to 100% OZONE FRIENDLY production.

Focusing especially on “Efficiency” for a sustainable future exceeding far beyond being a manufacturing supplier, ODE continues to
support this goal with innovations in its production. Developing “standard” and “premium” product ranges, ODE provides high quality
solutions suiting customer demands. Initiating the EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) process for all its brands, ODE will be able
to present the environmental performance of its products already registered with quality documents such as ISO, CE, TSE, etc. most
transparently with EPD documentation.

Extends the Industry with Its Leading Enterprises and Social Responsibility Consciousness
Taking a leading role in the foundation of many associations, in particular İZODER, ODE puts its signature on leading projects aimed
at raising public awareness in insulation and energy efficiency. Striving to take a place in work that will leave a legacy, ODE changed the
company motto to “Insulates the future” in early 2014. Acting with a global responsibility that comes with being in the global market,
ODE continues to take its place in many international activities and successfully represent the Turkish insulation industry and Turkey.

ELASTOMERIC
RUBBER FOAM
GENERAL FEATURES
A wide range of thermal insulation materials are
used in the thermal insulation of cold lines and
cooling systems in installation. Today, elastomeric
rubber foam produced in Turkey is one of the
most preferred material in the market thanks to
its superior features such as thermal conductivity,
of installation insulation, water vapor diffusion
resistance, and fire resistance. The technical
criteria to be considered in the use of the
elastomeric rubber foam materials that have a
wide production range are described below.

THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COEFFICIENT (λ)

The thermal conductivity coefficient is the amount

of heat transfer when the temperature difference
is (Δt) 1°C between 1m2 surface at a 1 meter
distance of the insulation materials perpendicular
to each other. It is the most decisive feature in the
selection of thermal insulation materials. Materials
with low thermal conductivity (λ) have a high
thermal insulation performance.
The thermal conductivity coefficient of ODE
R-Flex PRM Sheet is 0.034 W/mK (at 0°C).

WATER VAPOR DIFFUSION

RESISTANCE COEFFICIENT (μ)

The proportion of the resistance of the materials

against water vapour transmission to the
water vapour diffusion resistance of the air is
called water vapour diffusion coefficient and is
indicated by μ.

ODE R-Flex PRM Sheet’s water vapour diffusion

coefficient is μ ≥ 7000.

A2 A2 Materials that do not contribute significantly to fire ODE R-Flex PRM Sheet is in the “B-s3, d0”
load and fire development class based on the Fire Classification Standard
B Materials that provide better conditions than C-Class EN 13501-1. ODE R-Flex PRM Pipe is
C materials that provide better conditions than D-Class in the “B-s2, d0” class based on the Fire
D Materials that are resistant for a long time Classification Standard EN 13501-1.
E Materials that are resistant for a short time
F Materials whose fire performance is not determined

CORROSION RISK

As indicated in Section 5:3, Part 7 of DIN

1988, insulation materials should be as neutral
as possible and they should not contain water
soluble chlorines, NH3, or NO3 more than a
certain percentage. Accordingly, the limit values:
0.5% chlorine in steel pipes, and in 0.2%.
Nitrate and Ammonia in copper tubes.
ODE R-Flex is safe in terms of the corrosion risk
with its max of 0.05% water soluble CI ion and
Ph 8 values.

WATER ABSORPTION BY VOLUME

In order to determine water absorption

percentages of materials, they are left in
a closed test environment at 90% relative
humidity for 24 hours. The weight difference
percentage of the materials before and after
the test gives the volume ratio of water
absorption by diffusion. Another method is
complete immersion. The water absorption
percentage of the material in direct contact
with water is found based on its weight
before and after testing. Having a closed
cell percentage of higher than 90%, ODE
R-Flex’s water absorption by volume is 0.4%.

self-adhesive ODE R-Flex SA Types.

2 types of protective lamination are used on the

adhesive surface which is called as physical adhesion.
• Kraft paper SA
• HDPE filmed SA
• Adhesive surfaces are manufactured with or
without a “mesh”. In large ducts, using the mesh is
recommended.
The advantages of these types that provide various
ease of application:
• Thanks to the self-adhesion, it has the advantage of
physical adhesion.

It is a synthetic rubber-based super strong adhesive used in ODE R-Flex applications. It prevents
convection currents in the joints, and ensures fast and easy installation.
The surfaces to be adhered should not be greasy or dusty. ODE Konfix should be applied with a roll,
a brush, or a spray in equal amounts on both sides and adhesion should be performed under a constant
pressure.
The drying time varies between 10 seconds and 4 minutes, it takes 24 hours for full adhesion.
