XPE Foam with Aluminum and Adhesive Backing: Applications in the Indonesian Market

The demanding tropical climate of Indonesia—characterized by high temperatures, intense solar radiation, and extreme humidity—requires specialized construction materials. Our XLPE (Chemically Cross-linked Polyethylene) Foam, laminated with reflective aluminum foil and backed with a self-adhesive layer, is specifically engineered to provide a high-efficiency, multi-functional solution ideally suited for this environment.

1. Core Performance Pillars for Tropical Climates：

The composite structure of the material directly addresses Indonesia’s primary building challenges:

Effective Thermal Resistance (XPE Foam): The XPE foam core provides excellent thermal resistance (R-value), slowing conductive heat transfer from the outside. The combination of reflective and conductive barriers ensures superior overall insulation performance.

Superior Moisture and Vapor Control: The continuous aluminum layer serves as a primary vapor barrier. In high-humidity environments, this prevents moisture migration and condensation—a critical function for preserving building materials and preventing mildew and mold growth.

Rapid Installation (Adhesive Backing): The "peel-and-stick" adhesive layer drastically simplifies and accelerates installation, making it highly attractive in construction markets where labor efficiency and reduced project timelines are key economic factors.

Radiant Heat Mitigation (Aluminum Foil): The outer aluminum foil layer acts as a low-emissivity barrier, reflecting over 95% of intense solar radiation (radiant heat). This is the most crucial step in minimizing heat gain through roofs and walls, significantly reducing the dependence on air conditioning and lowering long-term energy costs.

2. Key Application Areas in Indonesia：

The material’s ability to manage heat and moisture while offering easy installation makes it indispensable across several sectors:

A. Roofing and Attic Insulation：

Applied directly beneath metal roofing sheets or within the roof truss structure of industrial facilities, warehouses, and residential buildings. The foam prevents the intense solar heat from radiating into the interior, immediately creating a cooler, more comfortable internal environment.

B. HVAC and Duct Insulation;

Used extensively for insulating air conditioning ductwork in commercial buildings, hotels, and shopping centers. The aluminum prevents heat gain in the cooling system, while the vapor barrier prevents "duct sweating" (condensation) in the high ambient humidity, protecting ceilings and walls from water damage.

C. Commercial and Cold Chain Storage:

The product is applied as internal lining for commercial buildings, reducing the thermal load on the structure. For logistics and cold chain transportation, it serves as a lightweight, flexible thermal barrier for refrigerated trucks and containers, offering significant insulation without adding substantial weight.

Conclusion:

The Self-Adhesive, Aluminum-Backed XPE Foam provides the ideal balance of high-grade thermal performance and practical installation efficiency required by the Indonesian market. It functions as a robust, all-in-one solution for effective heat rejection, moisture control, and energy savings across diverse construction and industrial applications.
