Key Features & Benefits
-
Built-In Vapor Barrier: The closed-cell structure naturally blocks moisture and water vapor ingress, completely eliminating the need for a separate outer wrap.
-
Prevents Sweat & Mold: Actively eliminates pipe condensation to protect your walls, ceilings, and floors from mold growth and water stains.
-
Elite Energy Savings: Drastically cuts thermal energy losses by up to 87%, keeping your hot water lines hot and your cold refrigeration lines cold.
-
Safe & Clean Composition: Entirely dust, fiber, and CFC-free, making it completely safe to handle and ideal for homes, schools, and healthcare environments.
-
Fire Safety Rated: Built with advanced flame-retardant properties, meeting strict building safety standards (ASTM E84 25/50 flame and smoke rating).
Choose Your Style: Standard vs. Self-Seal
-
Standard (Solid Tube): Ideal for new installations. Slip the solid 2-meter tubes directly onto unjoined pipe runs, or manually slit them and seal seams with specialized foam adhesive.
-
Self-Seal (Pre-Slit): Perfect for retrofitting existing pipes. Features a pre-slit design with a heavy-duty, double-sided self-adhesive strip for a tool-free, peel-and-stick installation that cuts labor times by 30%.
