Key Features of Insulated Flexible Air Duct D100
Insulation Structure and Reinforced Aluminum Layer
The D100 insulated flexible air duct consists of three main layers: an inner flexible aluminum core reinforced with spiral steel wire, a middle layer of 25mm thick fiberglass insulation (density 22kg/m³), and an outer white foil jacket. This structure provides flexibility, heat resistance, and sound insulation.
-
The multi-layer soft aluminum core offers high strength, good elasticity, and easy bending during installation.
-
The fiberglass insulation helps retain temperature inside the duct and minimizes heat loss.
-
The outer foil layer reflects heat, resists moisture, and meets ROHS 17ZGC0323001RR standards.
-
Thanks to this structure, the duct operates stably from -30°C to 150°C for long-term performance.
Superior Flexibility and Airtight Performance
The airtight capability of the D100 insulated flexible duct is enhanced by its spiral steel reinforcement, preventing deformation when bent or stretched.
-
Longitudinal tear strength reaches 250N (ASTM E345).
-
Working pressure >2500Pa for 2 hours without air leakage.
-
Fire-resistant inner core meets ASTM D635 and UL 94, helping limit toxic smoke spread during fire incidents.
Flexible Installation for Any Space
With a bending radius of only 0.54 × diameter (≈54mm for D100), the duct can:
-
Be installed in tight spaces, corners, false ceilings, or obstructed areas.
-
Connect easily with round, oval, or rectangular fittings.
-
Lightweight design simplifies transport and installation without increasing structural load.

Benefits of Using Insulated Flexible Duct in HVAC Systems
Efficient Thermal and Acoustic Insulation
More than 30% of energy loss in HVAC systems can occur through uninsulated ducts. The D100 insulated duct helps maintain stable air temperature:
-
25mm fiberglass layer with low thermal conductivity minimizes heat transfer.
-
Cold air stays cold and warm air stays warm throughout the duct path.
-
Insulation also reduces airflow noise, ideal for hotels, offices, hospitals, and meeting rooms.
Energy Saving and Cost Reduction
-
Reduces load on air conditioning and heating systems.
-
Saves 10%–20% energy in large HVAC systems.
-
Minimizes maintenance thanks to stable airflow and pressure.
Although initial cost is higher than non-insulated ducts, long-term operating savings are significant.
Safe and Non-Toxic
-
ROHS compliant – free from lead, mercury, cadmium, and harmful substances.
-
Environmentally friendly and does not release toxic gases during fire.
-
Clean, non-irritating, and dust-free during installation.
Ideal for clean environments such as shopping malls, clean rooms, food factories, and healthcare facilities.
