Under the terms of the agreement, Rubber World Industries will supply ‘Gulf-O-Flex’ closed cell elastomeric rubber tube insulation, sheet roll insulation and adhesives that will be used for refrigerant copper pipes and AC drain/refrigerant pipe insulation purposes.

According to Rubber World Industries executives, the recent award demonstrates the strong confidence that contractors like Arabtec Construction have placed in Rubber World Industries’ diverse product portfolio of rubber insulated materials.

In addition, Rubber World Industries products are dust free, fiber-free, CFC free, Zero ODP and have low VOCs, making them mold and mildew resistant.

In addition to Rubber World Industries, the company has also awarded a contract to Emirates Falcon Electromechanical Co.
