As large infrastructure projects become increasingly complex, ALP Aeroflex has risen to the challenge. Chairman Iqbal Singh Anand elaborates on the company’s innovative insulation solutions that enhance energy efficiency and improve working conditions.

How has your product portfolio expanded over the years to meet the evolving demands of large infrastructure projects?
To meet the evolving demands of the industry, we have continuously expanded our product portfolio of both thermal & acoustic insulation, wherein more generics have been regularly added, increasing the portfolio from Nitrile Rubber insulation – to EPDM insulation – to XLPE insulation for various ranges of applications including refrigeration, air conditioning, infrastructure, industrial projects and PEB structures. The acoustic insulation range has also been expanded from noise absorbers- to noise barriers- to acoustic underlay- to anti-vibration pads for noise reduction in a wide range of applications.

Your Aeroflex Closed-Cell Elastomeric Foam Insulation is widely used in HVAC and refrigeration systems. Could you elaborate on how this product contributes to energy efficiency in infrastructure and industrial facilities?
Today, all industrial projects like pharmaceutical plants, textile plants, food and beverage industries, automotive industry, chemical plants, and all infrastructure projects like airports, metros, and redevelopment of existing railway stations are centrally air-conditioned for either human comfort or process requirements that have chilled water pipelines, refrigerant lines and air conditioning ducting. All these pipelines and HVAC ducts must be thermally insulated with the right insulation choice to ensure condensation control and reduce energy losses. Our range of closed-cell elastomeric foam insulation ensures that the energy losses in pipes and ducts are minimised, thus contributing to the system’s Energy Efficiency.

ALP Aeroflex also offers advanced acoustic insulation products. Given the high noise levels, how do your acoustic insulation solutions improve the working conditions in facilities with high noise levels?
Our advanced acoustic insulation products include Accosound, which is a highly efficient noise absorber; Accofloor, which is an excellent acoustic underlay for architectural acoustics; Accofoam, which is a thermo-acoustic insulation; and AccoSDS, which is a high-density noise barrier for sound-deadening. This complete range of Acoustic insulation products improves the working conditions in facilities by reducing high noise levels and thus providing acoustic comfort to the occupants.

How do you ensure your eco-friendly products contribute to green building certifications like LEED and IGBC?
As an organisation, ALP Aeroflex is committed to ensuring that all its products are eco-friendly and recycled and that all the scrap is reused. All products of ALP Aeroflex are EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) verified and GreenGuard Gold certified.
