Urethane Pipe Insulation
−196°C to +80°C
Main applications
- a broad range from −196°C to +80°C
- part-assembled for fast installation
- the standard for industrial and cryogenic pipe insulation
Key Features
Low thermal conductivity (λ ≈ 0.022 W/m·K)
Rigid polyurethane foam — more than twice the insulation performance of glasswool, so the same effect at less thickness
Cylindrical, fitted immediately
Two-piece half-shell construction — slipped over the pipe and secured at once, maximising installation speed
Closed-cell vapour control
A closed-cell structure with low water absorption, controlling condensation
The most economical high-performance insulation
PU foam has the lowest unit cost among materials of equivalent performance — outstanding economics on large installations
Every pipe size
Covers 15A to over 400A — a range of thicknesses available to order

Applications
Industrial piping
- •Insulation of steam and hot water lines
- •Condensation control on chilled water lines
Building services
- •Insulation of hot and cold water supply piping

Notes
- ※Above 80°C we recommend PIR urethane pipe insulation — the higher heat-resistance version rated to 130°C.
- ※The facing choice affects the finishing cost — confirm whether facing is needed before finalising the specification.
