Rubber World Industries (RWI), the leading manufacturer of closed-cell rubber insulation 'Gulf-O-flex', has won a Dh1 million ($272,247) contract for the prestigious Al Raha Beach development in Abu Dhabi.

The leading manufacturer will supply top quality rubber insulation products, which will be used in two major projects within the Dh54 billion leisure development – ‘Al Bandar’, a focal point for marine, leisure and family activities in the community; and the 51,000 sqm-commercial office space where Aldar Properties will establish its headquarters.

Conspel Emirates, a subcontractor for the mega project, has awarded the contract to RWI, which is currently in the process of delivering rubber insulation tubes and duct insulation sheets.

With a flame spread rating of less than 25 and a smoke spread rating of less than 50, RWI’s rubber insulation tubes have a high capacity to retard heat loss for hot water plumbing, liquid heating and dual temperature piping. Furnished with a smooth black-coloured skin on one side that forms the outer exposed insulation surface, 13-milimetre thick duct insulation sheets provide elastomeric thermal insulation to retard heat gain and control condensation drip from chilled water and refrigeration systems, while reducing heat flow on hot systems, said a statement.

“A world-class project such as the Al Raha Beach development utilises only the best products, and the massive order we have received for this prestigious project underlines the quality of our offerings and the excellent value we provide to our large-scale customers,” said Abu Baker Shaikhani, chairman, Rubber World Industries.
