ODE R-FLEX DIAMOND & R-FLEX ST Elastomeric Rubber Foam

Elastomeric rubber foam insulation products are designed to provide effective thermal insulation and condensation control in building services and HVAC applications. Owing to their closed cell structure and elastic properties, the products limit heat transfer and water vapour diffusion, supporting energy efficiency and moisture control in technical installations. Elastomeric rubber foam insulation products are manufactured in accordance with EN 14304, which specifies requirements related to thermal insulation performance, reaction to fire, dimensional stability, water vapour diffusion resistance, and suitability for heating, cooling, ventilation, and refrigeration applications. During production, raw materials are first processed through controlled mixing operations to produce intermediate compounds, followed by final compounding, extrusion, and curing stages. The extrusion and vulcanization processes ensure uniform material properties, controlled cell structure, and consistent product performance. After curing, the products are cut to required dimensions and prepared for packaging and distribution. The products are supplied in different forms and dimensions to meet varying application needs and maintain stable performance under normal operating and service conditions.

Description of the organisation of the EPD Owner

ODE embarked on its business journey in 1985 with contracting operations. In 1998, ODE decided to move forward in the insulation industry, one that would serve Turkey’s need. Having become an importer in 1990 and a manufacturer in 1996, ODE now manufactures products in 2 main categories, Building and HVAC insulation. ODE is now among the largest manufacturers of the insulation industry with 8 state of-the-art manufacturing facilities, over 4 thousand product varieties, and expert workforce. We manufacture extruded polystyrene thermal insulating material under the brand of ODE Isıpan; polymer modified bituminous waterproofing blankets under the brand of ODE Membrane, glass wool products used for heat and sound insulation and fire safety under the brand of ODE Starflex; and elastomeric rubber foam insulating material under the brand of ODE R-Flex. ODE Insulation manufactures XPS thermal insulation boards, polymer-modified bituminous waterproofing membranes, glass wool-based thermal and acoustic insulation solutions, and elastomeric rubber foam-based plumbing insulation materials. The products are developed to meet requirements for low thermal conductivity, water resistance, acoustic performance and fire safety. ODE Isıpan XPS products stand out for their high compressive strength and low water absorption, whilst the ODE Membrane and Epikon series of waterproofing solutions offer long-lasting performance. The Epikon series maintains its integrity at temperatures as low as -30°C thanks to its flexible structure. ODE Starflex glass wool products provide thermal and acoustic insulation as well as fire safety; ODE R-Flex products, meanwhile, offer condensation control and energy efficiency, particularly in HVAC and plumbing applications. As its Eskişehir Manufacturing Facility comes into play, ODE which currently exports to 8 continents aims to increase its export capacity even further, and become the leader in waterproofing in Turkey. ODE reflects its social responsibility awareness to all its operations, and is the first company in the insulation industry of Turkey to publish a “Corporate Social Responsibility Report”. Furthermore, ODE has been the first among its peers to earn the internationally recognized Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificate which is compatible with European standards and which applies for all markets to all heat and water insulation products manufactured by ODE in its facilities in Çorlu. Having implemented pioneering efforts toward raising public awareness of insulation and energy awareness, and taking care to be involved in projects that will hand down permanent value to the future, ODE changed its company motto to “Insulates the Future” in 2014. ODE Insulation continues to contribute to the national economy. With a vision of becoming a global brand, ODE Insulation operates with a team of talented individuals who are preparing for the future, constantly developing their skills, open to innovation, and committed to environmental and social responsibility.

Product information

Product nameODE R-FLEX DIAMOND Elastomeric Rubber Foam ODE R-FLEX ST Elastomeric Rubber Foam
Product identificationDE elastomeric rubber foam insulation products are a flexible thermal insulation material manufactured by processing rubber based compounds into a closed cell foam structure through mixing, compounding, extrusion, and curing processes. The closed cell morphology provides thermal insulation performance, flexibility, and resistance to moisture diffusion, making the material suitable for technical insulation applications. Elastomeric rubber foam insulation products are factory made and supplied in the form of rolls or pipes, with different thicknesses and dimensions depending on the intended application requirements.
Product descriptionElastomeric rubber foam insulation products are designed to provide effective thermal insulation and condensation control in building services and HVAC applications. Owing to their closed cell structure and elastic properties, the products limit heat transfer and water vapour diffusion, supporting energy efficiency and moisture control in technical installations. Elastomeric rubber foam insulation products are manufactured in accordance with EN 14304, which specifies requirements related to thermal insulation performance, reaction to fire, dimensional stability, water vapour diffusion resistance, and suitability for heating, cooling, ventilation, and refrigeration applications.

Product information from external sourceswww.ode.com.tr
Technical purpose of productODE R-Flex Diamond Sheet is a closed-cell elastomeric rubber foam insulation material designed for thermal insulation applications in heating, cooling, and HVAC systems. Its primary purpose is to minimize heat loss and gain, prevent condensation, and protect mechanical installations from corrosion and energy inefficiencies. Thanks to its low thermal conductivity and high water vapor diffusion resistance, it provides long-term insulation performance and system reliability. The flexible structure enables easy installation on ducts, tanks, and large-diameter piping systems while ensuring airtight insulation continuity.
Manufacturing or service provision descriptionRaw material input marks the beginning of the operation. The relevant chemicals are first processed in the mixer according to the formulation ratios through a controlled mixing operation. Initially, the semi‑finished compound known as Masterbatch (MB), which is a storable intermediate formulation, is produced. After masterbatch production, the Finalbatch (FB)—the final compound prepared specifically for the product requirements—is produced in the compounding section (mixing room). Final batch is not intended for storage and must be fed into the production line within the first few hours to ensure process stability and product quality. Following final batch preparation, the compound is fed into the extruder machines based on the required rheometric values. Inside the extruders, the material undergoes additional mixing, controlled temperature exposure, and die configuration to achieve the desired form, thickness, and product characteristics before entering the curing stage. The extruded material is then transferred to the curing oven, where it is subjected to specific temperature and speed parameters in each zone to ensure proper vulcanization. After curing, the elastomeric rubber foam—now in its final dimensions and form—is conveyed to the packaging lines, where it is cut to the required sizes, packaged, and prepared for shipment.

Additional environmental information

For this EPD, the declared unit is defined as 1 m² of rubber foam corresponding to a thermal resistance of 1 m²K/W (R = 1). As the product is manufactured at a constant density (40 kg/m³), its thermal conductivity (λ-value) remains unchanged, and the thermal resistance varies linearly with thickness. The environmental impacts are therefore calculated based on the thickness required to achieve R = 1. For other performance levels, the results can be scaled linearly (e.g. multiplied by 5 for R = 5).
