Insulated Aluminum Flexible Ducting With Fiberglass And PET
Description
Fiberglass Pre-Insulated Flexible Duct with PET and Aluminum
The R4.2 Insulated Aluminum Flexible Ducting With Fiberglass is designed for efficient air distribution
in HVAC supply and return systems. It combines a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) inner duct,
25–30 mm fiberglass insulation, and a single-layer aluminum foil outer jacket, providing superior flexibility,
energy efficiency, and mechanical durability.
This pre-insulated flexible duct ensures stable airflow, excellent thermal resistance, and long service life
for both commercial and residential HVAC applications.
- Inner Core: PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) film, spirally reinforced with high-elasticity carbon steel wire.
- Insulation Layer: 25–30 mm thick fiberglass (glass wool) with optional densities from 12–32 kg/m³.
- Outer Jacket: Single-layer aluminum foil with high reflectivity and corrosion resistance.
This multi-layer structure provides optimal thermal insulation performance (R4.2 rating) and prevents condensation, air leakage, and heat loss across duct systems
.

Why PET Material For Flexible Ducts?
The PET flexible duct is constructed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, spirally wrapped around a high-elasticity carbon steel wire, forming a lightweight yet durable structure with excellent flexibility and thermal performance.
Beyond its structural advantages, PET offers several key engineering benefits for HVAC applications:
- Non-toxic and heat-stable: PET remains stable under high temperatures and does not emit harmful gases during fire or overheating.

- Hygienic and clean: The smooth, non-porous inner surface prevents dust accumulation and microbial growth, ensuring clean air delivery.
- Low airflow resistance: The duct’s stable and smooth interior minimizes turbulence and pressure drop, improving overall system efficiency.
- Self-supporting: Once extended, the duct retains its shape without sagging—ideal for long or suspended runs.
- Easy installation: Lightweight, flexible, and easy to cut, suitable for confined spaces and modular layouts.
- High mechanical strength: PET provides up to 3–5 times the impact resistance of traditional duct liners.
- Superior barrier properties: Its low gas and moisture permeability prevents air leakage, condensation, and odor diffusion.
- Wide system compatibility: Suitable for high-, medium-, and low-pressure HVAC applications, including supply, return, and exhaust ducts.
