Isowool ‘Pipe Insulation’
Thermal insulation for pipework
Isowool Pipe Insulation consists 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:
Isowool 'Foil Pipe Insulation' has 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.
Isowool 'Plain Pipe Insulation' is supplied without an outer covering and is suitable for use with or without site applied finishes on pipes operating at ambient temperatures and above.
Because Isowool Pipe Insulation is 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.'
