Insulation isn’t always at the top of our minds until things get too hot, cold, or noisy. K Flex makes it easy to avoid those problems with reliable, high-performance insulation for all kinds of spaces.
You can count on their products to handle everything from keeping chilled water pipes efficient to cutting down echo in a busy room. North East Singapore has several top picks, so finding what you need locally is easy. Here’s a quick guide to the K Flex products that get the job done.
It started with a dripping pipe in the ceiling—nothing major, just a quiet tap-tap during the night. But by the end of the week, moisture had crept down the walls and the air felt damp and sticky. Mark, the building manager, had seen it before. Poor insulation. Again.
He called in a contractor who took one look and said, “You need something better—something like K Flex.” That’s how Mark discovered a world of insulation he hadn’t thought about before.
Not just the stuff that keeps pipes from freezing but materials that silence noisy machines, protect buildings from fire and even hold up in brutal outdoor conditions.
From that one leak came a complete system upgrade using K Flex products—ST Class O for the ductwork, acoustic panels to quiet down the pump room and foam tape for all the tricky gaps. It didn’t just fix the issue—it made the building run smoother, quieter and safer.
Since then, K Flex has become Mark’s go-to. And now, with suppliers like North East Singapore making it easy to get the right materials fast, he’s never had to deal with that late-night drip again.
K Flex ST Class O is the brand’s flagship elastomeric thermal insulation. It’s a closed-cell, flexible foam that offers exceptional protection against energy loss and condensation.
Rated Class O for fire safety, it also features built-in antimicrobial resistance, making it ideal for environments where hygiene is a priority, such as hospitals, food processing facilities and pharmaceutical labs.
Its closed-cell structure prevents moisture ingress, reducing the risk of corrosion under insulation (CUI). The material is lightweight, easy to cut and simple to install, saving time and labour on-site.
Applications:
K Flex Insulation Foam Tape is necessary for quick repairs, patch jobs, or small-scale sealing. This self-adhesive, closed-cell elastomeric foam tape provides the same insulating performance as larger sheet products but in a flexible roll format.
It’s commonly used to seal joints between pipe sections or around fittings where complete insulation wrapping may be complicated. It also helps minimise thermal bridging and ensures that every inch of your piping is covered, increasing the overall effectiveness of your insulation system.
The tape is resistant to UV, moisture and common chemicals, making it durable for indoor and semi-outdoor applications.
Applications:
F Flex K Fonik is K Flex’s go-to solution for acoustic insulation. This open-cell polyurethane foam absorbs airborne noise and reduces reverberation in mechanical and architectural spaces. Unlike closed-cell foams, its porous structure allows it to trap and dissipate sound waves, making it ideal for soundproofing.
K Fonik panels can be combined with dense barrier materials for enhanced sound isolation. In addition to its noise reduction capabilities, it is fire-rated and resistant to mould, making it suitable for commercial buildings, mechanical rooms and high-traffic environments.
Applications:
K Flex K414 is a high-performance contact adhesive developed explicitly for bonding K Flex insulation materials. It provides a secure, long-lasting bond between insulation sheets, tubes and the surfaces they’re applied to—essential for preventing delamination over time.
This fast-drying adhesive forms a flexible yet durable bond that matches temperature fluctuations and moisture exposure. It’s easy to apply with a brush or roller and is designed to maintain strong adhesion even in harsh environments. This glue is reliable for installing insulation in areas with high humidity or mechanical stress.

K Flex Titan Insulation is a high-performance, co-extruded composite material, specifically designed for use in demanding outdoor environments. Featuring a durable polymeric jacket, this insulation offers superior UV protection and exceptional resistance to weathering, making it ideal for installations exposed to sunlight, rain and extreme temperatures.
Its closed-cell structure also provides excellent moisture resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance in HVAC and flex hose applications. Easy to install and maintain, K Flex Titan is the go-to solution for systems that require reliable, weather-resistant insulation.
Applications:
(Note: Not available through North East at the moment, but worth knowing)
K Flex Solar HT is engineered explicitly for systems exposed to high temperatures and outdoor conditions. It can withstand continuous temperatures of up to +150°C, making it ideal for solar thermal systems and hot fluid piping.
The insulation features UV-resistant outer cladding, protecting it from sunlight, rain and ozone degradation. It’s a smart pick for outdoor pipework and industrial applications where standard elastomeric foams might degrade or fail over time.
Applications:
These advanced insulation systems combine multiple protective layers, including aluminium foil or polymeric cladding, to offer added durability, UV resistance and mechanical protection.
K Flex Clad products are designed for harsh environments where traditional insulation, like offshore platforms, marine settings, or high-traffic utility areas, might not hold up. With built-in resistance to weathering, fire and physical damage, these systems offer a long service life and reduce maintenance costs.
Applications:
(Not currently stocked by North East)
An environmentally friendly alternative to standard insulation, K Flex ECO is free of halogens, PVC and other harmful compounds. It’s also highly resistant to fire, producing low smoke and toxic emissions when exposed to flame. This makes it ideal for green buildings and LEED-certified projects.
Top use cases:
This is a complete insulation and cladding system designed for long-term outdoor performance. It combines insulation material with a pre-applied cladding layer, allowing for fast and durable installation in exposed environments. Its robust construction makes it ideal for areas where insulation is subject to mechanical stress or weather exposure.
Top use cases:
(Typically used in ducting)
These pre-laminated rigid boards are ideal for ductwork and flat-surface insulation. A reinforced aluminium facing provides excellent fire resistance, impact protection and thermal performance. They also help improve the appearance of exposed mechanical systems by offering a clean, finished look.
Top use cases:
(High-performance air duct insulation)
The K Flex Duct Liner is a flexible, lightweight insulation specifically designed for the interior of air ducts. It helps absorb noise generated by air movement and mechanical equipment while controlling temperature and reducing condensation within the duct system. The liner is resistant to bacteria and fungi and easily cleaned—ideal for clean air delivery systems.
Top use cases:
No matter the challenge—cutting energy costs, managing noise, or protecting systems from harsh environments—K Flex provides reliable, tailored solutions that meet the task.
From the top-performing ST Class O Insulation to versatile foam tape and durable acoustic panels, K Flex has a product designed to meet your specific needs easily and efficiently.

Many K Flex products are formulated with built-in antimicrobial properties, which help resist mould, mildew and bacterial growth. This is especially useful in high-humidity areas like chilled water systems or indoor HVAC setups where moisture control is crucial.
K Flex insulation can last over 20 years when properly installed and maintained, depending on the environment and application. Its durability comes from its closed-cell structure, moisture and chemical resistance and flexibility under temperature variations.
Some K Flex products, such as the K Flex ECO range, are designed with environmental sustainability in mind and may meet the criteria for green building certifications.
While not all K Flex insulation is recyclable through standard municipal programs, disposal guidelines typically follow non-hazardous waste classification. It’s best to consult local regulations for proper disposal or recycling channels.
