Bubble Insulation as compared to Prodex Total Insulation

"Blow up a Balloon and check on it in one week. It doesn't look like the same balloon, does it?"

Alias: Double Bubble, Double Bubble Insulation, Double Bubble Foil, Bubble Wrap Insulation, Bubble Foil, Bubble Foil Bubble, Insulating Bubble Wrap, Single Bubble

Bubble Insulation is compose of one or two layer of encapsulated polyethylene air bubbles sandwiched between two metalized surfaces. The major difference between this reflective insulation or radiant barrier and Prodex Total Insulation is the long-term performance of each product.

Because Bubble Insulation is composed of only air bubbles it loses its thickness in time. The collapsing of the center eventually allows the metalized surfaces to touch; thereby, allowing transference of energy (heat and cold). Click Prodex Insulation vs Bubble Insulation comparative analysis.  

• Prodex Total Insulation auto seals once it is fastened, screwed or stapled. Bubble insulation cracks and pops in time.
• Prodex Total Insulation polyethylene micro bubbles do not collapse with temperature changes. With Bubble Insulation, the open cavity bubbles tend to collapse with the passage of time due to temperature changes. Thereby becoming completely innefective.
• Prodex Total Insulation, due to its consistency has a more solid structure which eliminates conductive heat and works effectively as a barrier of heat and cold. Bubble Insulation, the bubble once collapsed, directly transfers conductive heat because the aluminum is now touching.
• Prodex Total Insulation has a flame retardant in its structure. Bubble Insulation, composed of only polyethylene.
