Isover Pipe Sections
Thermal insulation for pipework
'Pre-formed mineral wool snap-on pipe sections designed to provide thermal and acoustic insulation of pipework in H&V, air conditioning and industrial applications.
'Isover Pipe Sections consist of strong and yet lightweight pre-formed 'snap on' sections engineered from non-combustible mineral wool containing special water repellent additives. Two types are available:
Isover Foil Pipe Sections have a factory-applied reinforced aluminium foil covering incorporating a self-adhesive overlap. This helps to provide effective vapour control finish, allowing use on pipes operating at below ambient temperatures.
Isover Plain Pipe Sections are supplied without an outer covering and therefore are suitable for use with or without site applied finishes on pipes operating at ambient temperatures and above.
Because ISOVER Pipe Sections are chemically inert (approximate pH value of 7) and will not cause corrosion of metal pipework, there is no necessity for bore coated sections. Therefore, there is no need for special re-coating measures on cut pieces at bends and elbows.'
