DESCRIPTION
Closed Cell Pipe Insulation is a
fl exible and easy-to-apply tubing
product available in Semi-Slit and
Self-Sealing styles. These chemically
inert pipe insulations are specially
formulated to retard heat gain and
their closed-cell structures allow them
to function as effi cient insulators. The
Self-Sealing version has yellow selfseal
release liner that is both easy to
see and peel.
APPLICATIONS
To reduce unwanted heat loss or heat
gain, control condensation, decrease
plumbing noise and maximize
energy savings. They can be used on
hot and cold water lines, refrigeration
lines, air conditioning lines; line
set tubing, condenser coils, and connection
and distribution lines.
Closed Cell Pipe Insulation has low
thermal conductivity and a very low
water vapor transmission rate. This
low density product demonstrates excellent
thermal, physical and chemical
resistant properties, and has a
broad service temperature range
between -90° F and 180° F (-68° C
and 82° C). It can be installed in
commercial, industrial, and residential
insulation projects.
CLOSED CELL
Pipe Insulation
INSTALLATION
Closed Cell Pipe Insulation is installed
by sliding the stick over pipe or tubing.
For existing lines, the insulation
should be slit lengthwise and fi tted
over the pipe. When in place, make
sure all seams are adhered with contact
adhesive and pressed together to
form a seal. The Self-Sealing version
does not require adhesive. Fittings
can be fabricated from miter-cut
tubular sections. Closed Cell Pipe
Insulation is easily cut with a sharp
knife.
OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS
Outdoor applications require a protective
coating (high quality exterior
acrylic latex paint) for optimum
performance. For best appearance,
two coats are recommended.
UNDERGROUND
For buried lines above the water
table, use a clean fi ll such as sand
(3”-5” layer) to protect Closed Cell
Pipe Insulation before backfi lling. It is
recommended that all materials to
be buried are properly sealed at all
seams and butt joints with Contact
Adhesive. For optimum performance,
the lines should be encased in conduit
to protect them from problems
associated with ground water.
RESISTANCE TO MOISTURE
VAPOR FLOW
The closed-cell structure effectively
retards the fl ow of moisture vapor,
and is considered a low transmittance
vapor retarder. For most applications,
Closed Cell Pipe Insulation
needs no additional protection.

Poly Insulation
Additional vapor barrier protection
may be necessary for Closed Cell
Pipe Insulation when installed on low
temperature surfaces or where it is
exposed to continuous high humidity.
FLAME AND SMOKE RATING
Closed Cell Pipe Insulation in wall
thicknesses of 1” (25mm) and below
has a fl ame spread rating of 25 or
less and a smoke development rating
of 50 or less as tested by ASTM E
84; CAN/ULC-S102.2-M88 Method
of Testing entitled: “Surface Burning
Characteristics of Building Materials.”
Numerical fl ammability ratings alone
may not defi ne the performance of
products under actual fi re conditions.
They are provided only for use
in the selection of products to meet
limits specifi ed, when compared to a
known standard.
